The challenge

Sunshine Loans, a consumer lender known for speed and service, processes more than 700,000 applications monthly. Even with 100+ offshore agents its call center could not keep up, with abandonment rates often hitting 30% and inconsistent customer satisfaction.

The solution

Sunshine Loans deployed Retell AI voice agents across inbound support, integrating with Salesforce and Make.com and going live nationwide in under a month with a lean team.

Our abandonment rates were really high before, some days it was like 20 to 30%, but now it's gone down to around 5 or 6% across the business, with AI handling 75-80% of all of our calls.
