On Hold Messages for
Banks & Credit Unions

An educated customer is your best customer. So, if you had their undivided attention, what would you want your customers to know?

In fact, your phone system is a powerful marketing tool, allowing you to easily update your messaging with the season, advertise your loan programs, share customer testimonials, or highlight what sets your bank or credit union apart.

How does On-Hold Message pricing Work?

One-time Purchase: starts at $150 per message.
Subscription: starts at $55/month, with 500 word credits included.

*Pricing varies based on whether you have a Phone System or Contact center and the size of your phone system (Agent Seat, User Seat, or Telephone line count)

Flecha

What is a “user” or “agent” and how do I know how many I have?

When you have a contact center (call center) or phone system subscription with a service provider, you are paying per seat, which is referred to as a user or agent seat:

Agent Seat: The number of seats that enable agents to accept and/or make calls within a contact center (call center).
User Seat: The number of seats that allow users to make and receive calls through a cloud-based phone system.
Telephone Line: If you have an on-premise phone system, count the total number of telephone lines across all locations.

If you don’t know how many seats you are paying for with your service provider, contact your administrator.
Flecha

Why is pricing based on the number of users or agents I have?

We ask for the amount of users in your phone system to calculate your potential reach in order to provide the necessary license coverage for music usage.
Flecha

Am I a good fit for an On-Hold Subscription?

An On-Hold subscription is ideal for customers who:

• Maintain more than one On-Hold message in their phone system
• Prefer to update announcements more than once a year
• Want to market to their callers while they await assistance
• Aim to engage callers during wait times with timely and relevant information
• Seek an easy, cost-effective solution for creating & updating on-hold messages, anytime

If any of these points resonate with you, then our On-Hold subscription is tailored to meet your needs perfectly!
Flecha

What is the timeframe to receive my recordings?

Standard Delivery: within 3-4 business days.
Rush Delivery: within 1-2 business days. The cost is an additional $80 for the first 100 words, and $40 for every 100 words thereafter.
Flecha

Can I listen to my message before I pay?

While personalized previews aren't available, you can be confident that your selected voice talent will bring your script to life with the same tone and pace demonstrated in their sample.

We encourage you to choose a voice talent whose sample closely matches your desired style.
Flecha

Can I make a change after I submit my order?

If you need to modify your order after submitting your script, please reach out to our Customer Support. Provide your Order ID along with details of the changes you'd like to make. Please be aware that there may be a fee for adjustments made to the script after purchase.
Flecha

What happens if I cancel my On-Hold Subscription before the 12 Month Contract Period is over?

If you decide to cancel your Real Voice On-Hold subscription, here’s what you need to know:

Plan Renewal: If you cancel before your 12-month contract ends, your plan won't automatically renew. However, you'll still be responsible for any remaining payments.

Account Access: You can use Word Credits and Mixer app until the end of your current billing cycle. After that, you won't be able access Mixer Projects, and files containing music will be deleted. Voice-only recordings ordered with Word Credits will still be available.

Message Licensing: Messages without music can be used indefinitely.

Music Licensing: Music can only be used while your subscription is active. If you cancel, you'll need to remove messages with music from your phone system and delete any saved copies.
Flecha

Can I order Greetings or Voicemails too?
