Coconut Software Partners with National Bank to Innovate Client Access, Achieve 3x Remote Booking Growth
SASKATOON, SK and MONTREAL, June 5, 2025 /CNW/ - Coconut Software, a leading provider of appointment scheduling and lobby management solutions, today announced the positive impact of its partnership with National Bank, one of Canada's leading financial institutions.
By leveraging Coconut Software's platform, National Bank has achieved a three-fold increase in remote appointment bookings, and a 92% client satisfaction rate, marking a key milestone in the bank's digital transformation journey.
National Bank's commitment to modernizing its client experience to meet the growing demand for digital and remote services led them to partner with Coconut Software. This strategic initiative aimed to replace a traditional, branch-focused booking system with a flexible, client-centric platform integrated into their digital ecosystem.
This successful transformation has also led to external recognition for National Bank, which was named a finalist for an OCTAS 2025 award by Réseau Action TI, highlighting their innovative use of information technology in projects like this. The nomination demonstrates the importance of digital transformation in improving client access to banking services.
Coconut Software's solution empowered National Bank clients to easily schedule appointments online, including remote options, connecting them with the right advisor across the country without needing to visit a specific branch. This not only streamlined the client journey, but also provided employees with greater flexibility and a broader reach.
"It should always be easy for customers to interact with their financial services providers and receive meaningful advice through whatever channel they prefer," says Katherine Regnier, CEO of Coconut Software. "We are proud to be a catalyst in National Bank's digital transformation—not just by simplifying booking, but by enabling a more holistic view of both workforce and customer demand. This creates a truly effortless experience, even within a complex ecosystem, and sets a new standard for client access and engagement in the financial industry."
Some key outcomes powered by the National Bank and Coconut Software partnership include:
Remote appointment bookings increased 3x, demonstrating strong client adoption of digital channels.
92% client satisfaction with the enhanced booking experience, reflecting its ease of use and convenience.
Remote appointments can now be booked 4x faster, reducing friction and saving clients valuable time.
Nationwide access to specialized advisors is available, allowing clients to receive support in their preferred language, for instance.
"By accelerating the shift from physical to remote services, we're delivering a cutting-edge experience that democratizes access to advice and transforms how we interact with our clients," says Simon Ledoux, Senior Vice-President – Personal Banking at National Bank.
The results achieved through the partnership with Coconut Software are a key component of National Bank's recognized digital advancements, showcasing how strategic technology adoption can lead to significant improvements in client experience and operational efficiency.

Global X has more than $41 billion of assets under management and 142 ETFs listed on major Canadian stock exchanges. Global X is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Mirae Asset Financial Group, which manages more than $900 billion of assets across 19 countries and global markets around the world. Commissions, management fees, and expenses all may be associated with an investment in products (the "Global X Funds") managed by Global X Investments Canada Inc. The Global X Funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently, and past performance may not be repeated. Certain Global X Funds may have exposure to leveraged investment techniques that magnify gains and losses which may result in greater volatility in value and could be subject to aggressive investment risk and price volatility risk. Such risks are described in the prospectus. The Global X Money Market Funds are not covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or any other government deposit insurer. There can be no assurances that the money market fund will be able to maintain its net asset value per security at a constant amount or that the full amount of your investment in the Funds will be returned to you. Past performance may not be repeated. The prospectus contains important detailed information about the Global X Funds. Please read the relevant prospectus before investing. The payment of distributions, if any, is not guaranteed and may fluctuate at any time. The payment of distributions should not be confused with an exchange traded fund's ("ETF") performance, rate of return, or yield. If distributions paid by the ETF are greater than the performance of the ETF, distributions paid may include a return of capital and an investor's original investment will decrease. A return of capital is not taxable to the investor but will generally reduce the adjusted cost base of the securities held for tax purposes. Distributions are paid as a result of capital gains realized by an ETF, and income and dividends earned by an ETF are taxable to the investor in the year they are paid. The investor's adjusted cost base will be reduced by the amount of any returns of capital. If the investor's adjusted cost base goes below zero, investors will realize capital gains equal to the amount below zero. Future distribution dates may be amended at any time. To recognize that these distributions have been allocated to investors for tax purposes the amounts of these distributions should be added to the adjusted cost base of the units held. The characterization of distributions, if any, for tax purposes, (such as dividends/other income/capital gains, etc.) will not be known for certain until after the ETF's tax year-end. Therefore, investors will be informed of the tax characterization after year-end and not with each distribution if any. For tax purposes, these amounts will be reported annually by brokers on official tax statements. Please refer to the applicable ETF distribution policy in the prospectus for more information. The Global X Bitcoin Covered Call ETF (BCCC) and the Global X Enhanced Bitcoin Covered Call ETF (BCCL) are each exchange traded alternative mutual funds that invest in other alternative mutual funds that invest, directly or indirectly, in Bitcoin. There are inherent risks associated with products linked to crypto assets, including Bitcoin Futures. While Bitcoin Futures are traded on a regulated exchange and cleared by regulated central counterparties, direct or indirect exposure to the high level of risk of Bitcoin Futures will not be suitable for all types of investors. Given the speculative nature of bitcoin and the volatility of the digital currency markets, there is no assurance that BCCC or BCCL will be able to meet their respective investment objectives. An investment in BCCC or BCCL is not intended as a complete investment program and is appropriate only for investors who have a sophisticated knowledge and understanding of Bitcoin and the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their investment. An investment in either BCCC or BCCL is considered high risk.
