What Dialect Communications does

Dialect Communications Ltd is a UK-based Business Process Outsourcer (BPO) specialising in 24/7 multilingual customer experience and back-office operations exclusively for the FinTech and Payments sectors. Founded in 2020 by CEO Neil Wake after a career in payments, the company operates from Gateshead with a registered office in Brentwood, and serves clients globally across the UK, Europe, US, Middle East, and Singapore. Its customer base spans issuers, acquirers, payment processors, BaaS providers, card scheme sponsors, rewards/loyalty programme managers, prepaid card issuers, and gift card providers—named clients include Crunch Payments, B4B Payments, Caxton, Monavate, RTGS.global, Osper, Cleva, Allpay, Clowd9, Giftstarr, Yordex, and FinPay.

The company operates a technology-enabled service model built on three proprietary platforms: Tasc, a web-based back-office system purpose-built for payments workflows (KYC/KYB enhanced checks, PEP and sanctions fuzzy matching, transaction monitoring, AML flagging, refund requests, chargebacks/representments/arbitration, and complaints handling); MultiLect, an AI-translated multilingual live chat widget supporting 75 languages; and MultiVox, an AI-powered multilingual voice interpretation solution covering 85+ languages launched in April 2026. Human CX advisors remain central to service delivery, with native-speaker support in seven core languages (English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, German) augmented by AI translation for the long tail. The portfolio is delivered as fully white-labelled, bespoke managed services across voice, email, live chat, WhatsApp, and Facebook, with a dedicated FCA Consumer Duty compliance module targeting the Fourth Outcome (customer support) requirements.

Dialect sells exclusively through direct enterprise field sales with bespoke quote-based engagements and long-term managed service contracts. Revenue derives from per-seat or per-interaction pricing on bundled managed-services-plus-technology engagements, with claimed client cost savings of up to 78% versus in-house CX build. The company is privately held, founder-led, with no disclosed institutional investment; it is CCMA-accredited (2024), NECCA Judges Special Award winner (2023), NECCA Inspirational Leader winner for COO Laura Scott (2025), and a UK National Contact Centre Awards finalist (2024).
