The Future of CX: Into the Metaverse

March 2023

The “metaverse” has become a popular term used among technology leaders and users in the last year. The reality of an integrated metaverse is closer than ever. In fact, Gartner predicts that by 2026, 25% of people will spend at least one hour a day in the metaverse for work, shopping, education, social, and/or entertainment.

"A fully developed metaverse is closer than we think, and it has the potential to revolutionize customer experiences."

Elements of the metaverse already exist in the fintech industry, such as the ability to provide currency exchanges through crypto and metaverse wallets. This offers immersive, virtual experiences that you can’t find in the physical world–yet. 

Metaverse & Currencies

The metaverse is a collective platform where physical and virtual worlds are linked together to create new user experiences that are accessible through virtual reality devices, from tablets to head-mounted displays. One example is the Metaverse Wallet. Metaverse wallets are digital wallets that enable users to securely store, manage and transact cryptocurrencies and digital assets in the metaverse. These wallets are designed to operate seamlessly with decentralized applications, virtual worlds, and blockchain-based games. 

Metaverse wallets allow users to securely store their private keys, which are needed to access and control their digital assets. Users can easily buy, sell, and transfer virtual assets, such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs), digital art, virtual real estate, and virtual currencies, across different metaverse platforms. These wallets can provide a unified interface that allows users to manage their assets across multiple metaverse platforms.

How Will the Metaverse Influence CX?

It’s expected that 30% of organizations will have products and services ready for the metaverse by 2026. As more enterprises join this technological evolution, the metaverse will impact CX in a way that could elevate consumer relationships and engagement. Fintech in the metaverse is expected to revolutionize CX by providing a seamless and frictionless platform for financial transactions. Users can engage in financial transactions and manage their assets in virtual worlds, games, and decentralized applications. 

The introduction of the metaverse will also enable fintech companies to reach a wider client base, including those who prefer to conduct financial transactions in the metaverse. The integration of metaverse fintech with CX will provide a more convenient, efficient, and secure way to conduct financial transactions in the digital world, enhancing the customer experience.

Fintech brands are exploring the potential of the metaverse to provide new investment opportunities, facilitate payments, and offer innovative financial products and services. The metaverse can also be used to create virtual financial branches, where customers can interact with their financial advisors, access account information and receive financial education.

What CX Challenges Will Brands Face in the Metaverse?

One of the main challenges Fintech will face in the metaverse is the need to provide a seamless and frictionless user experience for customers when conducting financial transactions within virtual environments. This will require fintech companies to design user-friendly and intuitive interfaces that enable customers to easily navigate and transact within the metaverse.

Fintech companies will also need to implement robust security measures to protect customers' assets and prevent fraudulent activities. Regulatory compliances are another factor for financial institutions to consider within the metaverse. Fintech companies will need to navigate the complex regulatory landscape of virtual currencies and financial transactions in the metaverse to ensure that they are operating within the bounds of the law.

Fintech In The Metaverse and Beyond

A fully developed metaverse is closer than we think, and it has the potential to revolutionize customer experiences and financial transactions of all kinds. However, the state of omnichannel customer care is expected to expand to include the metaverse as another consumer touchpoint rather than replacing human-driven CX. What does this mean for your brand? Implementing advanced CX solutions should be at the forefront of your customer care today so you’re ready for what the metaverse holds tomorrow.
