Leeds Building Society Partners with Sabio Group to improve Contact Centre operations

Sabio Group, the digital customer experience (CX) transformation services specialist, has secured a multi-year contract with Leeds Building Society which will drive innovation in its contact centre, and improve customer care for the Society’s members. 

The partnership is set to lead the Building Society through a critical transformation, shifting its contact centre operations to a PCI-compliant Sabio OnDemand private cloud infrastructure. 

Leeds Building Society is currently undergoing a significant transformation including replacing its core banking platform and the partnership with Sabio in Contact Centre operations is an important part of creating a modern, flexible technology platform that will further enhance customer care and experience.

Daniel Seaborne, Sabio's Managing Director for the UK & South Africa, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership. He said: “We're thrilled to work with Leeds Building Society on this transformation. By leveraging Sabio's expertise, Leeds is not only addressing its immediate needs but also laying the foundation for future technological advancements.”
