Challenge
A leading bank in the US, specialising in banking and asset management services, faced implementation challenges within its Fund Services division. The client received approximately 65,000 loan notices per year from a range of agent bank providers (Alter Domus, WSO, Loan IQ), each arriving via email to multiple inboxes and in varying formats.
Data was then manually handled by 10 – 15 team members (FTE): reviewing loan notices, tagging and sorting relevant information, and manually keying this into internal systems. Processing each document took approximately 30 minutes, translating into costs of $1.3 million a year.
Automate Loan Notice Management
Digitise loan notice processing no matter how complex the data
Automating the loan notice management process while maintaining control
To overcome these challenges, the bank implemented Xceptor’s Data Automation Platform to automate the ingestion, classification, extraction, and reconciliation of loan notice data.
Xceptor provided the Bank with a streamlined, end-to-end solution, transforming all loan notices from agents to a fully automated process. This, coupled with Xceptor’s ability to create a staged dataset that processed loan notices before they moved into their internal system, ensured only clean, accurate data entered the downstream systems.
The platform allowed the bank to implement specific validation rules, and maker-checker workflows. This enhanced process governance, and auditability. These were implemented in tandem with a broader human-in-the-loop workstream to remediate low confidence score extractions.
Take control of all your inbound and outbound confirmations processes in a single workflow.
Ingest data, produce documentation, escalate risks, and manage the indexing and return of confirmations in one standardised workflow across your entire business.
Integrate all trade booking platforms, market utilities and resolution portals.
A market leader in confirmations processing, Xceptor is trusted by some of the largest global financial institutions.
