<p>BEDMINSTER, N.J. – Affinity FCU is utilizing online chat tools to help support members. The $900 million credit union recently introduced Live Person's Live Chat text-based online chat tool. This is the same tool a number of CUs throughout the country are using. Members simply click a button to type a message to a member service rep. The rep can push screens to the member to assist in better answering their questions.

Like call center queues, Live Chat provides a number of measurement functions, such as average answer speed.</p>
