Coforge partnered with a leading bank to improve liquidity management by implementing an AI-driven payment settlement forecasting solution. The objective was to accurately predict daily cash requirements to ensure timely payment obligations and reduce liquidity risk.

By leveraging advanced machine learning and time-series modeling, Coforge enabled the bank to forecast short-term cash inflows and outflows with greater accuracy. The solution empowered treasury teams with real-time insights, improving cash reserve planning, operational efficiency, and strategic decision-making.

The Challenge

The bank faced challenges in accurately requirements due to the complexity and variability of cash inflows and outflows. Existing approaches relied on limited analytical capabilities, leading to inefficiencies in cash reserve planning and increased liquidity risk.

Fragmented historical data and lack of standardized preprocessing made it difficult to generate reliable forecasts. Additionally, the absence of advanced modeling techniques limited the bank’s ability to adapt to different forecasting horizons and changing transaction patterns.

The organization required a scalable and intelligent solution to improve forecasting accuracy, enable dynamic planning, and support data-driven treasury decisions.

Our Approach

Data Foundation & Preprocessing

Extracted and cleansed historical transaction and settlement data to ensure consistency, accuracy, and reliability for model training.

Advanced Model Benchmarking

Evaluated multiple machine learning and time-series models, including Decision Trees, Random Forest, XGBoost, Prophet, SVR, and LSTM, to identify optimal approaches for different scenarios.

Dynamic Time-Series Forecasting Engine

Developed a flexible forecasting framework allowing users to select forecasting horizons (e.g., 4 days, 1 week, 1 month) based on business needs.

Performance-Driven Model Selection

Implemented automated model selection using performance metrics such as R² and RMSE to ensure the most accurate forecasts for each use case.

Production Deployment & Validation

Integrated the solution into the bank’s environment to generate near real-time forecasts and validated outputs against actual settlement data.
