They then receive their ticket.<\/li>\n<li>While waiting: queues are organized by reason for visit. Customers follow the calls to the counters on 2 screens, which also display the bank\u2019s own communications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The result: <strong>better-organized customer reception<\/strong>, customers taken care of from the moment they arrive, and more efficient teams.<\/p>\n\n          <\/div>\n                      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"ps-block ps-block--textimage image-right\">\n  <div class=\"ps-block__container\">\n    <div class=\"ps-block__grid\">\n\n      <div class=\"ps-block__img\">\n        <figure class=\"lazy-image\">\n          <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 600 600'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\"\n               data-src=\"https:\/\/www.esii.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/11\/bian-niger-banque-ecran-appel-attente.webp\"\n               data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.esii.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/11\/bian-niger-banque-ecran-appel-attente.webp 600w\"\n               sizes=\"auto, 600px\"\n               alt=\"bank screen call and wait\"\n               width=\"600\"\n               height=\"600\"\n          >\n        <\/figure>\n      <\/div>\n\n      <div class=\"ps-block__body\">\n                          <h4 class=\"ps-block__title\">The benefits<\/h4>\n                          <div class=\"ps-block__text\">\n            <p>For customers, the wait becomes less stressful: they can follow its progress, and the screens provide useful information.<br \/>\nAt the counter, staff call the next customer without having to check whose turn it is.
