24-hour service across all channels began in November 2024, expanding customer contact infrastructure
Bithumb has moved to build a system designed to improve customer convenience and the professionalism of its consultations, in line with the characteristics of the virtual asset trading environment. Since November 2024, it has switched all customer contact channels, including phone, chat, bulletin boards, and email, to 24-hour, year-round service. Taking into account the market's high volatility, the company has focused on improving the speed and accuracy of consultations by fully deploying specialized staff and providing systematic training.
As of May 2026, the phone consultation response rate stood at 98.9%, while the average across all channels remained above 98%
Since establishing its always-on response system, Bithumb has maintained visibly strong service metrics. Even as customer inquiries surged amid market changes, the company's phone consultation response rate reached 98.9% as of May 2026, and the average response rate across all channels also stayed above 98%.
Improving consultation speed through advanced AI-based AICC
To make a qualitative leap in service quality, Bithumb is advancing the development of an AI-based AICC (AI Contact Center). By introducing an AI consultation support system that can handle more than simple repetitive inquiries, the company aims to shorten resolution times and raise response quality.
Following its No. 1 ranking in the 2025 KCSI virtual asset exchange category, Bithumb has now earned the 2026 KSQI Excellent Call Center certification
This latest recognition as an excellent call center builds on earlier customer satisfaction achievements. Bithumb was selected as an Excellent Call Center of Korea in the 2026 Korea Service Quality Index (KSQI) survey conducted by Korea Management Association Consulting (KMAC). KSQI is a service quality indicator that comprehensively evaluates customer center service attitude, consultation capabilities, and customer convenience among domestic companies. Bithumb also became the first company in the industry to rank No. 1 in the virtual asset exchange category in the 2025 Korean Customer Satisfaction Index (KCSI), and has now secured this certification as well. In the 2025 KCSI survey, Bithumb also received strong evaluations across detailed categories, including overall satisfaction, intention to reuse, diversity of trading products, call center and chat consultations, and safety.
A Bithumb official said, "We have consistently worked to build a 24-hour customer support system and improve consultation quality so that customers can trade with confidence anytime, anywhere." The official added, "We will continue to listen to our customers and make every effort to provide a more trusted trading environment and customer experience, with customer protection as our top priority."
■ Areas for improvement
A key pain point was the lack of a stable 24-hour response system across all channels, including phone, chat, bulletin boards, and email, even as customer inquiries surged due to the high volatility of the virtual asset market.
■ Improvement strategy
Since November 2024, Bithumb has converted all customer contact channels to 24-hour, year-round service and established an always-on response system supported by the full deployment of specialized consultants and systematic training.
■ Results
As of May 2026, the phone consultation response rate reached 98.9%, and the average response rate across all channels exceeded 98%.
