What AI can get wrong

  • Outdated rates and fees

    Rates and charges change often. An answer quoting last quarter’s figures misinforms customers in your name.

  • Wrong eligibility

    Answers can tell people they don’t qualify, or that they do, based on old criteria.

  • Old incidents shaping sentiment

    A past outage or fine can dominate how answers describe you long after it was resolved.

What to track

Personas

  • Freelancers

    Invoicing, tax pots, no monthly fees.

  • Small business owners

    Business accounts, lending, payments.

  • Students

    Overdrafts, perks, first credit card.

  • Expats

    Opening an account without local history, transfers.

Competitors
Other banks for the same product, plus the digital banks and fintechs competing for the same customers.
Markets
Each country you operate in. Products, rates and the competitor set all differ by market.

Questions

Can we track individual products, like cards or mortgages?
Yes. Group prompts by product or customer segment and see visibility, share of voice and citations for each.
Do AI answers quote our rates and fees correctly?
MentionSight shows what the answers say and which sources they cite, so your team can spot outdated rates, fees or eligibility and correct the source behind them.
Can we see how we compare with digital banks?
Yes. Add any competitor, from established banks to app-only challengers, and compare visibility prompt by prompt.
Is this a compliance tool?
No. It shows how AI answers describe you, which can surface issues worth reviewing, but it doesn’t replace your compliance process.
