• “Most banking transactions require little human intervention. However, in cases where items are flagged (for example, AML, fraud or screening checks), this requires human intervention. Given the high volumes involved this comes at significant cost to the organisation. It is therefore an excellent place to deploy new AI technologies such as Intelligent Process Automation (IPA). This streamlines processes and automates steps usually performed by people.

• Look at the typical ATM infrastructure that must be managed daily. Transactions and GL account balances must be reconciled to ensure machines are working correctly, that no fraud is taking place, and there is always the right amount of cash available for banking customers without over exposure of capital reserves. Using people to reconcile and investigate discrepancies is slow and inefficient. But using AI toolsets mean these tasks can be managed consistently, at high speed and with full auditability. Volume or capacity constraints are then no longer an issue.”
