featuresLili, the leading business banking platform, today announced that they are setting the standard for five-star customer support for business owners. The company leverages a mix of AI chatbots and personalized human support for optimal customer service. With this balanced approach, 83% of customers gave Lili’s support experience a high score of 9 or 10.https://lili.co/blog/smb-banking-platform-lili-sets-the-standard-for-five-star-customer-support-for-business-owners
featuresNew data from Lili demonstrates a significant shift toward AI-driven customer support. Between January and October 2025, 40% of Lili customers preferred using the company’s AI-powered chatbot for their support needs.https://lili.co/blog/smb-banking-platform-lili-sets-the-standard-for-five-star-customer-support-for-business-owners
featuresImportantly, in October 2025, 82% of customer conversations that began in the AI chatbot were resolved end-to-end without needing human escalation, while about 20% transitioned to a live agent when additional assistance was needed. This hybrid model ensures customers get fast, accurate answers when they want speed and personalized human support when they need reassurance.https://lili.co/blog/smb-banking-platform-lili-sets-the-standard-for-five-star-customer-support-for-business-owners
features“Small business owners don’t have time to wait on hold – they need answers in seconds,” said John Mearls, VP of Risk & Operations at Lili. “Lili has built a customer support machine, combining AI and human support that is exceeding customer expectations. This balance of automation and empathy is redefining what modern financial support should look like.”https://lili.co/blog/smb-banking-platform-lili-sets-the-standard-for-five-star-customer-support-for-business-owners
featuresThis trend reflects a broader industry shift toward AI-assisted customer experiences. As Forrester notes in recent research, “modern AI technologies – such as generative AI (genAI), large language models, and agentic AI – have been heralded as the future of customer service. And deservedly so: A conversation with a genAI bot can be built out in a small fraction of the time, and genAI bots now speak in a more comfortable and human manner and have the access and intelligence to blow away experiences we’ve had in the past.”https://lili.co/blog/smb-banking-platform-lili-sets-the-standard-for-five-star-customer-support-for-business-owners
