Digital colleague · live at Bitvavo

The crypto support volume your team never had time to scale

Vavo took the support queue — the questions that repeat in every language, the status checks, and the fraud-sensitive cases that have to be escalated carefully. It started on chat, moved onto email and Telegram, and answers most of it end to end, 24/7.

The digital colleague

The colleague that started on chat, then took on email and Telegram.

Vavo joined Bitvavo's customer contact centre as the first point of contact — answering common crypto questions (“How do I verify my IBAN?”, “Why isn't my withdrawal showing?”), explaining statuses, and securely escalating complex or fraud-related cases to a human. From chat it grew onto email and Telegram, in six languages, around the clock. This is the record of what it does, what it has learned, and where it goes next.

Vavo AI — Customer Support colleague (chat)

Bitvavo · Customer Support / acceptance
Pain
As crypto grows, so does Bitvavo — and so do customer inquiries. Routine questions (IBAN verification, withdrawals, account status) arrived by email and waited for a reply, headcount couldn't scale with the volume or the volatility spikes, and fraud-sensitive cases needed careful handling.
Solution
Vavo became the first contact point on the support page. After email verification it answers common questions from the knowledge base, explains statuses, and securely escalates complex or fraud-related cases to a human — creating a summarised Zendesk ticket so nobody starts from scratch.
Result
The chat colleague now delivers 27.5 FTE a month across 16,700 conversations at 95% value delivered — instant answers, day or night, with the team freed for the cases that need them.

Voice, and personalised backend answers

From every text channel to the phone
Pain
Vavo covers chat, email and Telegram, but voice is still fully manual, and answers can't yet be personalised from backend data.
Solution
Take Vavo live on voice, and connect it to backend systems for personalised responses and automated ticket handling — a Vavo-first approach as primary customer contact.
Result
More of the support journey handled end to end, personalised, across every channel — no proportional headcount.

Industry insight · finance / crypto

In crypto, the first wins are the questions that repeat in every language — and the ones you can't get wrong.

Account, verification and withdrawal questions are high-volume, rules-based and arrive around the clock in every market. They read from a knowledge base or a document and end in a system action — exactly the work a digital colleague absorbs first — while fraud-sensitive cases are escalated to a human, safely. That frees the team for the volatile, high-stakes work.
