Deployed RPA to Deliver 30% Cost Savings on he Trade Finance Systems for a Leading Financial Institution

Our client is one of the oldest financial institutions in the world with a presence in over 100 countries. They provide a host of services to retail banks, corporate banks, investment banks, and asset managers.

 

 

The Challenge

The trade finance system processed transactions from initial registration to final liquidation for more than 200 million customers worldwide. This system required manual interventions, which were time consuming and led to processing errors. The client was looking to improve the process and achieve automation that would lead to significant cost and time savings.

The Solution

Virtusa conducted a gap analysis to understand and prioritize the processes that need to be automated and leveraged robotic process automation to improve audit confirmations, import payments, acceptance bookings, and loan liquidation.

The Solution
