Vodafone Case Study

How Vodafone UK's Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) business enhanced digital customer experience, maximised revenue and eliminated fraud

0% Revenue increase in first 12 months*

0% Increase in app top-ups in 21 months

0 Zero customer friction

The Challenge

Vodafone UK has a new digital-first strategy aimed at delivering the most engaging customer experience to date. The PAYG business was tasked to move top-up customers from traditional voice-based services to the My Vodafone app to ensure a better experience. They sought a solution that could provide an efficient and consistent top-up experience across all channels while maximising approval rates and helping eliminate fraud.

"We are delighted to be extending our relationship with Vesta to include support for our PAYG digital web channel. Our focus is on making it as easy as possible for our customers to top-up over digital and voice channels while providing the very best experience across every touchpoint."

Steve James | Product Owner at Vodafone

The Solution

Vesta support for Vodafone UK PAYG services

In 2015, Vodafone UK PAYG migrated voice-based top-up payments to Vesta to maximise the opportunity that its fraud prevention services provide.

The success of the initial migration resulted in reduced fraud cases while also delivering an 8% uplift in receipts* over IVR, call centre, SMS and recurring channels hosted by Vesta.

Vodafone UK digital migration

Vodafone UK’s PAYG digital migration started in October 2017 when Vesta was adopted into the My Vodafone app.

This migration has allowed customers to experience the same top-up journeys in app as in voice channels.

The success of the new My Vodafone app experience is evident by the change in customer behaviour from migration to app top-ups increasing by 210% in 21 months.

The digital migration has continued in 2019 with Vodafone migrating online top-up payments to Vesta in September to take advantage of the same benefits experienced in the voice and app channels
