What KIM 3.0 delivers for your branch

Three outcomes. Measurable per branch.

01

Staff relief at the service point

Routine requests — online banking, app installation, card issues, directions — KIM handles them end-to-end. Your staff focus on the advisory work only they can do.

02

Multilingual service without the language barrier

KIM answers in over 100 languages — Turkish, Ukrainian, Arabic and more. International customers are understood without anyone having to translate. Accessible in line with BFSG.

03

Available 24/7 — even after closing time

KIM isn't bound to opening hours. Customers can block a card after hours, set up online banking or find a branch — right at the self-service terminal.

How it works

Four situations from the branch.

KIM is not a Q&A chatbot. She walks customers through real banking processes — from welcome to the completed transaction. Secure steps are confirmed by the customer directly on their own device.

Scenario 1 · Online banking

Setting up online banking — completed in one go.

A customer is standing in the branch with their access letter and is stuck. KIM shows the steps on screen, walks them through the setup and completes the process — without tying up an employee.

I received a letter from you, but I don't understand the online banking.
KIM:Happy to help. I'll show you the steps on screen and set up your access together with you. Do you have your credentials with you?
Outcome: customer leaves the branch with active access. No employee was tied up.
Scenario 2 · Card services

Card lost — instant blocking and follow-up steps.

No waiting for the hotline: KIM takes the request and initiates the block — she opens the secure confirmation step directly on the customer's smartphone, where the process is completed end-to-end. Including replacement card and mobile wallet.

My card is gone. Can you block it?
KIM:I'll take care of it. I'll open the secure confirmation step directly on your smartphone — after that the card is blocked and a replacement ordered. Should I also include your Apple Pay card?
Outcome: card blocked, replacement ordered, mobile wallet included — securely confirmed on the customer's own device.
Scenario 3 · Multilingual

International customers without translation loops.

Turkish, Ukrainian, Arabic — KIM switches seamlessly into the customer's language, runs the pre-consultation and hands over to the advisor in a structured way. Nobody on your team has to translate.

Merhaba, bir hesap açmak istiyorum.
KIM: Tabii, memnuniyetle. Hangi tür hesap istiyorsunuz — bir cari hesap mı, yoksa bir tasarruf hesabı mı?
Outcome: pre-consultation entirely in the customer's language. The advisor takes over fully briefed.
Scenario 4 · Personal contact

The customer has arrived — KIM reaches the right person.

For personal matters, nobody has to go searching: KIM documents that the customer has arrived in the entrance area and contacts the responsible person — for instance by calling the bank advisor. That creates a direct line, without waiting at reception.

I have an appointment with Ms. Schneider.
KIM:Good to have you here — I'll note your arrival and call Ms. Schneider directly for you. Please take a seat in the waiting area, she'll be right with you.
Outcome: arrival documented, advisor reached by phone. No searching, no waiting at reception.
One avatar, four touchpoints

KIM 3.0 is where your customers are.

FAQ

What Sparkassen decision-makers ask first.

Sparkassen benefit from a preferential price: negotiated via Finanz Informatik, the base license including support is €649 per month and branch — all modules included, plus a consumption-based pricing model. In the intro call you'll receive a concrete calculation for your Sparkasse.

You can source KIM 3.0 in two ways: directly from us — the fastest route — or soon also via Finanz Informatik. In both cases, we at Humanizing handle the technical setup and roll-out together with you.

Setting up and unblocking online banking, installing the banking app, blocking and replacing cards, providing account information, finding branches, multilingual pre-qualification for advisory appointments, wayfinding in the branch. Complex advisory topics (loans, securities) are handed to an advisor in a structured way — including pre-qualification. Beyond that, KIM handles a wide range of additional end-to-end processes, all individually configurable via our portal for your institution.

Yes. KIM is hosted in Germany and meets the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe's requirements for data protection and IT security. All data stays within the EU. All relevant requirements — DORA in particular — are accounted for.

KIM 3.0 is agentic. Earlier versions were primarily conversational — they could answer questions but not complete transactions on their own. 3.0 can trigger processes in downstream systems and process requests end-to-end. And thanks to state-of-the-art AI, conversations between customer and KIM feel far more natural and noticeably faster.

Yes, that's possible — but it isn't necessary. Relative to what your Sparkasse saves, the roll-out is so cost-efficient that you can start at full scale right away. With more than 25 Sparkassen in production, KIM 3.0 is proven — and we bring that experience with us.

Next step

Your Sparkasse knows the bottleneck. We know the avatar.

In 30 minutes we'll work out whether KIM 3.0 makes sense in your branches — with a live demo at a reference Sparkasse. Directly with Nina Gipperich, our key account manager for banking, no sales pitch.
