HDFC Bank and Common Services Centers have launched chatbot ‘Eva’ on CSCs Digital Seva Portal to support the Village Level Entrepreneurs in providing banking services for the last mile rural consumers.
Through Eva, VLEs will learn about the products and services offered by the HDFC Bank, which in turn will improve services to the last mile customers and enhance banking services for the last mile.
The 24x7 service will allow VLEs to access accurate information about various products, processes and resolve queries about HDFC Bank’s services. VLEs would be able to improve their business by learning about account opening, loan lead generation and product details. Through Eva, VLEs will also be able to access training content to become a Business Correspondent by taking a quiz before getting the certification, as per the regulatory process.

If you want to purchase a highly expensive property then you should go with a jumbo loan rather than a conventional loan. Because conventional loans have limits on the amount you are able to borrow, but jumbo loans has no limits. However, if you want to get a jumbo loan you can contact Cardinal Financial Company.
