Use Case: Portals

"We need to increase usage of our portal"

Document portals can be costly to develop but are often met with low take up from customers. Mailock drives engagement by delivering to the inbox securely.

A lack of engagement

Covid-19 accelerated the use of customer portals to deliver sensitive information online. We didn't have time to think 'do my customers actually want a portal?' - we had to act fast. Now, with access to so may online accounts, customers' engagement with them has dropped off. Many companies are looking at better ways to deliver confidential information and elicit a response.

Portal usage

Despite over 77% of consumers having access to at least one portal, engagement is low. The average consumer has over 118 online accounts, and your portal is one of many fighting for their attention.

Customer angry with password problems

A password, a problem

61% of consumers reuse passwords across multiple portals - they're tired of the friction. Pushing another password onto your customers gives them another problem that they didn't ask for.

User experience

Made to connect

Our financial services advantage

Mailock is designed for a closer digital connection - between product providers, platforms, intermediaries, and customers.

In financial services, where we do most of our work, each of these relationships requires a different type of verification, engagement, and compliance. By adapting to these relationships, Mailock doesn't just provide security without compromising user experience, it turns user experience into a security advantage.

The recipient experience

Step-by-step

1. Receive

Recipients get a notification email to let them know they have a secure message waiting to be opened. This message can be customised with your company branding or use the familiar Mailock template.

1. Receive

2. Identify

Recipients click ‘Open’ on the notification delivered to their inbox. They’ll answer any challenges that have been set, or if they're trusted, they can open and read right away.

3. Reply

If recipients need to reply to a secure message, they can use Mailock to compose, attach, and reply using their existing email address and account. They'll even get a limited number of secure emails to send.
