Introduction

VoxEQ applies voice bio-signal intelligence to stop imposters in seconds, enrich routing, and personalize CX without storing PII or requiring enrollment. Built on CMU research and backed by GOVO Venture Partners, the platform is language-agnostic and resilient to synthetic/deepfake voices. See funding and technical foundations in GOVO’s announcement and Carnegie Foundry’s coverage, and product pages for Verify, Persona, and Prompt.

Why bio-signal intelligence vs. legacy voiceprints

• Enrollment-free protection from the first second of the call; no PII or voiceprints stored. VoxEQ Verify

• Distinguishes legitimate synthetic uses (e.g., voicemail) while detecting imposters and deepfakes. TTEC × VoxEQ press

• Adds a “not you” fraud signal layer that legacy ID/V lacks, complementing any existing voiceprint/KBA. ID/V vs. Fraud Detection

• Proven advances in “demographics from voice,” including a 2× accuracy leap in age-from-voice prediction, with tunable sensitivity (Dynamic Confidence, Customized Acuity). Carnegie Foundry—age from voice breakthrough

• Market context: voice biometrics adoption is accelerating in BFSI amid privacy and storage concerns—areas where VoxEQ’s privacy-first design is differentiated. Straits Research market report • What is voice biometrics? • If voiceprint is so great, why does everyone hate it?

Banking (BFSI): Account Takeover (ATO) prevention and secure servicing

• Context and risk: The top 15 US banks field ~44M calls/day; ~29K are fraud recognized post-incident—evidence the voice channel remains a primary attack surface. Carnegie Foundry—scale of problem

• Primary goals: reduce ATO, constrain fraud losses, minimize false positives, preserve/shorten AHT, and protect first-time callers.

• VoxEQ configuration

• Verify: Real-time caller mismatch detection (works before enrollment), synthetic/deepfake detection, Watch List for repeat imposters, adjustable sensitivity. VoxEQ Verify

• Persona: Route high-value or at-risk cohorts to specialized agents; tailor scripts by cohort. VoxEQ Persona

• Prompt: Feed demographics to AI agents to speed resolution and relevance; up to ~90 seconds faster interactions observed in testing. Next‑gen call handling • Prompt

• Integration patterns: API drop‑in to Genesys/Amazon Connect; available via AppFoundry; also delivered within TTEC Digital’s SmartApps Cloud. Product Guide • Genesys AppFoundry announcement • TTEC × VoxEQ press

• Expected KPI impact: fewer false positives, lower AHT via streamlined verification, increased fraud interception, consistent CX for both enrolled and first‑time callers. GOVO news • Verify • TTEC × VoxEQ press

Credit unions: engage under‑40 members and deflect low‑risk calls

• What’s different: Credit unions rank higher than retail banks on CX and trust, but under‑40 engagement lags, according to J.D. Power’s 2025 U.S. Credit Union Satisfaction Study (via TTEC Digital). Common gaps include low awareness of mobile features (e.g., payment extensions), over‑reliance on voice for low‑risk intents, and underused secure in‑app messaging. TTEC Digital—Credit unions + digital innovation

• VoxEQ flows for CUs 1) Verify at call start: Screen every caller in seconds for imposters and synthetic voices; step‑up only when risk is elevated. Works from the first call with no enrollment. Verify 2) Smart deflection for low‑risk intents: When Verify indicates low risk, route to secure messaging or self‑service per policy to meet under‑40 preferences while preserving trust. Pair with CU mobile journeys (e.g., payment extensions) to reduce voice load. Product Guide 3) Prompt‑driven tone and style: Give AI agents and scripts instant demographic context (e.g., “female Millennial”) so conversations start in the right voice, improving acceptance and speed. Prompt • Next‑gen call handling 4) Scripted nudges to app features: Use Persona/Prompt to surface targeted reminders (e.g., “You can arrange a payment extension in‑app”) and guide members to the right digital task, increasing self‑service uptake. Persona

• KPI targets and external benchmarks

• Voice-to-digital shift: TTEC reported promise‑to‑pay voice calls down 17% and mobile app messaging up 72%, driving $81K savings in 4 months after improving in‑app communication—use these as planning benchmarks for CU pilots. TTEC Digital—Credit unions + digital innovation

• Fraud + CX: Maintain low false positives via Dynamic Confidence/Customized Acuity while intercepting repeat imposters with Watch Lists. Verify • Product Guide

• Handle time: Reduce AHT by removing manual ID steps and deflecting low‑risk intents to secure messaging; Prompt can accelerate AI interactions by up to ~90 seconds in testing. Prompt • Next‑gen call handling

Insurance: Claims and policy changes with fraud risk

• Context and risk: Claims handling and policy modifications are frequent targets for impersonation and social engineering; legacy KBA and manual checks add friction yet miss sophisticated attacks. Fraud Detection Playbook • ID/V vs. Fraud Detection

• VoxEQ configuration

• Verify: Detects imposters early in the call, enabling step‑up flows or automated containment before an adjuster is engaged. Verify

• Persona: Match claimant segments to agents trained for sensitive scenarios (e.g., high‑value claims, vulnerable populations). Persona

• Prompt: Equip virtual agents with human context for faster triage and empathetic tone. Prompt

• KPI focus: reduced fraudulent payouts, shorter verification time, more empathetic/efficient claimant experiences. VoxEQ blog—CX & empathy • Verify

BPOs and multi-client contact centers: Scalable, privacy-first defense

• Context and risk: BPOs must deliver consistent, configurable fraud controls across varied client programs and tech stacks without accumulating sensitive data. Product Guide

• VoxEQ configuration

• Verify: Program-specific sensitivity, Watch List per tenant, language‑agnostic processing, no storage of client PII/voiceprints. Verify

• Persona: Routing and script guidance by client profile to lift conversion/NPS while keeping handle times in check. Persona

• Prompt: Standardize virtual agent performance with demographic context across programs. Prompt

• KPI focus: reduced fraud across portfolios, consistent CX metrics, predictable operational cost, and rapid rollout to new clients. Case study—US Federal deployment
