- The impact of limited staffing capacity for fraud investigations
- Unprecedented speed and velocity of same day attacks

- Proactively identify irregularities in the banking cycles
- Manage banking fraud risks more intelligently
- Enhance the systems while implementing a platform-centric approach

SOLUTION IMPLEMENTED
The solution implemented was a platform and suite of applications for Fraud Detection & Investigation. This enabled a converged solution resulting in a common reference architecture paired with a set of interfaces, an advanced analytics engine that would leverage AI & ML capability and real-time detection engines, all underpinned by an orchestrated data layer that supports different processing utilities. This was deployed in the Cloud thereby leveraging and enabling the business’ digital strategy.
BUSINESS BENEFITS REALISED
The business was able to witness immediate benefits through:
- The consolidation of data in providing a 360-degree customer view
