Delivery Partner: Encriss Technologies

Business Overview

Hyundai Capital and KIA Finance manage large-scale auto financing and leasing portfolios with thousands of active customer contracts across multiple product types including leasing, installment finance, balloon finance, and insurance-linked plans.

Customer service operations traditionally relied on call centers and manual document handling, leading to:

Transformation Objectives

  • Enable secure digital onboarding and authentication
  • Provide real-time contract visibility to customers
  • Automate customer service request workflows
  • Digitize document upload and verification
  • Reduce call center dependency
