There was an update to the BNZ app a few days ago and I suspect it has broken the written Contact system within the app.

 

Yesterday and today I asked written questions about 'credit card payment dates'. I was told by the app that my query needs to be referred to a team member - which is great. However each time, when I submit my question, the subject title that gets applied, by the app, is something unrelated to my query. The first time it applied the title ‘Change home loan repayment date'. Nowhere near what I am asking. 

 

At first I thought I had made a mistake so I tried again - and got the same result. So I tried a third time with a slightly different wording for my initial query type - and this time when I submitted the same/original question, the title that was applied was ‘New investment’. Again not even close.

 

The titles being applied are completely wrong and have nothing to do with my actual query. This is very annoying. It means that the text of my query bears no resemblance to the title the BNZ CSA team sees - so they will be confused. It may also mean that my query gets directed to a part of the team that has nothing to do with what I’m asking.

 

There's something very wrong with the Contact system within the app. Yesterday the promised response time was 24 hours. Today it says 72 hours. I think they’ve got problems. Their AI is lacking I.





Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Can you give me some details about which device you're using, please?

iPad Pro M4 on latest iPadOS.

 

The app was updated three days ago but this issue may have been present before that. Until yesterday I hadn’t used the Contact system for a month or two. I don’t know for sure that the update is responsible.

 

@Stu Interested to know why you asked about the device.

Cheers. I've pushed a link to this thread to someone who can push it in the right direction.

Apps are different for each platform. iOS, iPadOS, Android are all different, and the problem may be specific to only one platform. Giving them the details of your specific platform gives them a start point, rather than starting in the wrong place and maybe finding nothing.

@eracode are you in a position to call the help desk at all? 0800275269. Mention it's about credit card payments and they can help with your problem. Say you want to raise feedback regarding the app. Current call wait times are apparently under a minute?!

Thanks for this. I just received an email from Digital Queue Lead apologising and offering to get me today the answer I’m seeking. I appreciated that. Not sure how that response arose. I did post my issue in the Feedback part of Contact in the app so the email probably came as a result of that.

 

I’m happy to call them as requested - but is the suggested call separate from the help I’ve just received? I suspect I’m being sorted now.

Err, I'm not sure. I was just passing on a message from someone else, through someone else. Perhaps they've managed to put two and two together whilst messages were being passed? 🤣

Thanks again. I won’t bother them further because I believe (a) I’m being sorted and (b) the separate app issue (assuming it really is one) has been drawn to their attention via my direct feedback and through your assistance.

Not sure I was of any help, but hopefully it gets sorted. Cheers!

BNZ finally called me today in response to my online query from Friday. The original indicated response time was within 24 hours.

 

They confirmed on the phone that they have a problem with their online bot assigning incorrect query titles to customers’ queries.
