The client is a one of the largest nationalized banks in India. It has expanded its domestic presence, with 3057 branches spread across all geographical segments. The bank offers a wide range of financial services and banking products to its retail as well as corporate customers through different delivery channels.
The Client had a requirement of image based cheque management system as he wanted to become first among the bank members with one step forward system. So, we had a real short time for implementation of the system.
The bank was using a traditional cheque processing system that took time around 3 working days for clearance. So, it was a huge challenge to reduce it's turn around time(TAT).
Following the guideline of the Central bank was a major task as guidelines were being altered by the government bodies at the time when we were developing the system for it.
Implementing High Speed System
The bank deployed SoftAge Document Management solution and manpower for facilitating automated processing of corporate and retail transactions. The solution enabled the high-speed scanning of various banking instruments SoftAge support would enable Straight through processing, thereby speeding the cheque clearing cycle.
