The Client
Top 20 US retail bank
Challenge
- Review of financial crime compliance alerts performed manually
- 5 different queues managed with a turnaround time of 30 secs to 1 minute for each alert
- Could not achieve desired 99.9% accuracy and turn time targets, especially during sudden influx of alerts
- Low resource utilization due to small turn around time window
Solution
- The review team needed to refresh queues/ screen throughout the day for any alerts.
- Non-compliance issues if steps were missed in trying to meet turn time
- Customer dissatisfaction during high volume periods due to delays in processing
- High cost of carrying buffer staff to meet short turn time targets
