Star rarely attends offline events, but is active on the X platform with an open attitude. His Twitter tends to personally respond to user questions and follow up on user feedback, especially when it comes to user safety, product improvements, and real-time answers to user operational issues on the platform. It has almost become OKX’s official customer service channel.
In September last year, Star immediately publicly apologized for the platform contract changes and promised to compensate affected users 100%. In June this year, in response to a user's clarification that a new address appeared in the address book on the OKX account, Star responded to user feedback at 2 a.m., "The OKX address book function does need to be improved. OKX will bear full responsibility for customer capital losses caused by its own problems."
Star bypasses all intermediate links and talks to users in a frank and sincere way. This "CEO is customer service" model is what builds brand credibility. The key strategies directly reflect OKX’s strong user-oriented culture.
This culture is deeply rooted in the OKX customer service system and has become a common practice within OKX, forming a user-centered "customer service for all employees" strategy. This means that OKX has keenly and forward-lookingly realized that the importance of the customer service system is not only to solve user problems, but also to reversely promote the improvement of OKX product experience and service experience by listening to users’ real feedback.
In 2024, the OKX customer service team has supported 15 languages, manually helped users retrieve 10,059 mistakenly deposited assets, and automatically retrieved 1,620,000 mistakenly deposited assets. The largest amount recovered was 107,122 USDT. The annual complaint rate Less than 0.5%, A total of 1,544,250 user problems were solved throughout the year. The answer rate for online consultations was greater than 91% within 20 seconds. The average answer time for online consultations was 21 seconds. The response rate for email/work order consultations was 97% within 1 hour. The average response time for email/work order consultations was 13 minutes, fully reflecting its strong service capabilities. From a team of a few people in early 2017 to a customer service team covering 15 languages and distributed around the world, the transformation of OKX’s customer service system is far more than just an expansion in scale. What is the secret of its success?
100% feedback rate, revealing how a user’s needs can leverage OKX’s “full participation”In most platforms, when user complaints or questions cannot be resolved through ordinary When customer service solves the problem, they usually ask to "find a leader to reply." However, at OKX, the "leaders" of the customer service team do not wait for users to make requests, but actively intervene and respond quickly.
So, what kind of process does a user issue go through in the OKX manual customer service department from raising it to solving it?
OKX has achieved effective diversion and positioning of user problems by establishing first-line and second-line hierarchical management systems, so that users can receive detailed information from basic consultation to complex complaints. solutions. When a user work order is submitted, it will be handled collaboratively by one or more groups, ultimately ensuring a 100% feedback rate on user issues.
Take user A's problem as an example. After receiving the request, the OKX customer service system quickly and accurately identified the problem as an "account problem". The circulation process of this problem is:
First, the problem will be entered into the account group, and the front-line customer service of this group will provide a solution.
If it cannot be solved, the first-line customer service will escalate the problem, create a new work order, record the customer's problem and the preliminary actions taken in detail, and hand it to the second-line engineer Group processing. The engineering group has more specialized knowledge and authority and can handle more complex problems.
If it still cannot be solved, the second-line engineering team will continue to escalate the problem, conduct in-depth investigation of user issues to diagnose and solve the problem, and collaborate with internal experts or technical departments , such as the product team, technical team, or legal team, to get professional advice to solve the problem.
Ultimately ensure that customer problems can be dealt with professionally and promptly. After the problem is resolved, OKX customer service staff will follow up and collect feedback to the relevant departments to improve products, services or internal processes to prevent similar problems from happening again.
It can be said that any product or technology of OKX will become a customer service officer at some point.
Compared with those trading platforms that prioritize shortening customer interaction time and reducing manual customer service, OKX’s approach undoubtedly requires greater investment, but it also brings Higher customer satisfaction and brand loyalty.
In addition, in order to ensure that each employee can provide high-quality services consistent with his or her business values, the OKX Customer Service Department has specially set up a "Quality Inspection Team" to conduct regular inspections. All staff conduct random quality inspections to collect and record customer service performance in multi-dimensional modules such as services, processes, and professional knowledge, including issues that need improvement, room for improvement, andCustomer feedback is collected and a "quality inspection" data report is generated to objectively and fairly judge customer service capabilities and performance. For those customer service staff who fail the "quality inspection", OKX will provide them with customized training and improvement plan support to achieve a higher service level.
OKX’s complete customer service training system and assessment system are important manifestations of its “user first” culture. Customer service staff are not only problem solvers, but also continuators of the platform’s commitment to users. Through this highly standardized management model, OKX is able to maintain its leading position in the global market, and the user experience is always better than its competitors.
It takes an average of 3 minutes to reply to users for the first time, and implement feedback and suggestions into product changesOKX stipulates that the first reply time for all user questions must be within 10 minutes, but in large numbers Most OKX customer service staff can locate problems and provide solutions within 2 to 3 minutes. During the peak period of work orders, they can even handle 300 to 400 user problems in a day.
How does OKX customer service department achieve "extremely fast response"?
Each OKX customer service team member has undergone rigorous training and has mastered the skills to quickly handle various complex problems in order to achieve faster problem response.
Candace was once a senior customer service officer who has been working in the traditional financial industry for many years. In 2021, he jumped out of his familiar circle and applied to become an OKX customer service employee. This is his first job. I was exposed to the completely unfamiliar Web3 field for the first time. To this end, Candace began to use her lunch break, weekends and holidays to study systematically, chewing through thick technical information and market analysis, and understanding the principles of blockchain technology, the product structure of the OKX platform, and the complex problems that users may encounter.
Half a year later, with solid business accumulation and superb customer service skills, Candace successfully entered OKX’s VIP customer service group. The working model of the VIP group is different from that of ordinary customer service. All VIP users’ work orders will go directly to Candace’s team, bypassing the flow of first-line and second-line people. This requires OKX’s VIP customer service team to almost reach the “all-round” level, both in Excellent performance in problem response and resolution, and a deep understanding of the unique needs of VIP users to provide users with a personalized and efficient support experience. This service model not only improves VIP customer satisfaction, but also establishes a deep trust and professional image for OKX in the high-end user market.

Vince said This kind of in-depth cross-department cooperation and practical experience ultimately led to a major change in Vince's career at OKX. After several discussions and studies, he successfully transferred to product manager PM.
Vince's front-line customer service experience became the key to his ability to successfully understand user needs and product details after he was transferred to PM. This transformation marks that OKX has broken the limitations of traditional positions and created a group of comprehensive talents who can understand user needs from multiple perspectives and promote product innovation. Not only that, OKX has also increased business training courses and continuing education for on-the-job customer service, including various forms of training, including English learning, industry knowledge lectures, expert forums, etc., to ensure that the customer service team can not only respond quickly to user issues, but also provide in-depth Understand the latest trends and technological developments in the field of Web3 and cryptocurrency.

OKX customer service has gotten rid of the position of "defender" and turned into an active user experience designer and responder to user needs
When it comes to three-party security issues, OKX has demonstrated a high degree of initiative and collaboration, becoming one of the few companies in the industry that is highly sensitive to user asset security issues. The OKX customer service department has demonstrated this extreme Forward-looking security service concept. By working closely with the security team and technical team, we proactively provide multiple levels of security services such as high-risk currency withdrawals and large abnormal transfer interception to further protect the security of user assets.
As of September this year, OKX's anti-phishing risk control system has successfully intercepted 2,815 suspicious currency withdrawal operations for 2,636 users, recovering a total of 2.1032 million USDT assets.
During daily monitoring, OKX security team engineer Vince discovered an abnormal transfer request in user B’s account. With many years of security experience, Vince immediately realized that the transfer might not be performed by the user himself, so he immediately Emergency response process initiated
He first notified the customer service team through internal channels, and the customer service quickly contacted user B. During the call, the customer service team conducted strict multiple verifications on the user's identity to ensure that every information was accurate. After obtaining user confirmation , Vince immediately coordinated the back-end team to take measures to suspend the suspicious transfer, and at the same time strengthened the security settings of the account. The entire process, from identifying risks to contacting users, confirming the situation, and taking preventive measures, the front-end and back-end teams worked closely together. Finish as quickly as possible
mostIn the end, this cooperation successfully intercepted possible account intrusions and saved potential losses for users. This not only strengthens users' sense of security, but also makes the OKX team more convinced of the importance of this collaborative mechanism to ensure user safety.

In addition, Vince also received feedback from a very anxious user who mistakenly downloaded a Trojan horse program disguised as legitimate software, resulting in The assets in the account were stolen. Users are extremely emotional, even angry and helpless, hoping that customer service can provide solutions and recover losses. After Vince learned about the situation, he proactively contacted the user and tried to help him retrieve key details in the chaos.
In order to restore the incident as much as possible, Vince took the trouble to call many times and patiently guided the user step by step to recall the specific operations before the assets were stolen: from downloading the program Every step to logging into your wallet. After three hours of repeated analysis, Vince finally sorted out the complete process of the theft and determined the hacker's possible transfer path.
However, recovering assets is not easy. Vince immediately worked with the technical team to quickly track the flow of assets and tried to contact the hacker multiple times, but never received a response. Subsequently, he urgently contacted the legal department and worked out a solid solution, which ultimately helped the user recover all the assets that flowed into the hacker's account. This successful collaboration made users deeply feel OKX's sense of responsibility and professional capabilities, and also strengthened Vince's belief in maintaining the security of user assets.
Sincerity is always a must-win strategyGlobally, many trading platforms tend to rely on automation or a single channel to deal with user problems, especially as the scale expands and As demand grows, customer service often prioritizes efficiency at the expense of depth of service. In contrast, OKX has chosen a multi-channel and multi-level customer service system to handle different types of customer problems. This strategy can not only respond to user needs in a short time, but also provide a personalized and efficient service experience.
