Optimizing KYC Process by Leveraging RPA for Banking Industry

March 17, 2021

Business Problem

One of our prominent clients, a leading Singapore bank wanted an optimized solution to handle large-scale KYC processes seamlessly. Due to the latest government regularization, all nationalized banks are required to do KYC verification of their customers once in every two years. The bank wanted to lessen the burden that officials face at the time of manual KYC document collection and uploading them through various channels such as web portals, emails, and scanned copies.

Business Analysis

PureSoftware collaborated with the bank officials and analyzed the entire situation. Our team identified that the bank needs to address the high workload caused due to the mandate to perform the KYC verification process more often. We suggested the client to implement an optimized solution for KYC process automation.

 

PureSoftware Solution

PureSoftware RPA team bifurcated the KYC process based on each channel and implemented the RPA bots using various trigger mechanisms. The input mechanism differs from channel to channel due to which we designed and developed tailored bots to meet different requirements.  We found that the straight-through update was the most common channel, and it required only one type of bot to perform detailed work-load management easily.

  • The RPA bots developed by us handled overall 70% of all the transactions, which helped the bank experience 90% effort reduction in the entire process within a month of the implementation.
  • The RPA solution improved the bank’s operational efficiency.

Results

PureSoftware designed and developed RPA bots that helped the bank in the following ways:  

  • Download KYC PDF from a mail server and save it in a folder as PAN number as file name 
  • Login to the KYC application and traverse through the KYC menu
