Use Case: Portals

Deliver from customer portal to email inbox

Document portals can be costly to develop but are often met with low take up from customers. Drive 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. 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.

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.

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.
