Overview
As financial landscapes evolve, banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) institutions face challenges in safeguarding against fraud and ensuring customer integrity.
To discern whether a corporate client has engaged in financial misconduct or if a retail customer maintains a creditworthy profile requires a nuanced approach. Financial institutions must rely on diverse external sources, including news articles, verdict repositories, and police reports, to glean critical insights and mitigate potential risks. This wealth of information, spanning multiple channels and formats, is vital for law enforcement and minimizes risk for BFSI organizations.
TCS’ Intelligent Financial Event Analysis Platform provides BFSI firms timely insights, enabling them to navigate the complexities of financial risks and customer events effectively. It employs a computer-based system to automatically extract all relevant information about a reported event from online articles and structure it contextually using analytical algorithms. With this offering, TCS enables investigators and BFSI C-suite leaders to engage in informed decision-making.
Challenge
Proactive risk assessment and mitigation are critical for all BFSI firms to fend off financial crimes and counterparty risks.
Regulatory mandates demand thorough monitoring of business events, sanctions, money laundering, and fraud during customer onboarding and transaction processing. BFSI leaders must stay current and assess reported incidents in real-time. However, this process is long and disjointed. The information BFSI investigators need is available across multiple channels and formats. Moreover, human analysis for getting contextual data based on events can be error prone.
With TCS Intelligent Financial Event Analysis Platform, businesses can streamline the manual and time-consuming process of evaluating incidents in real time, extracting relevant information from diverse channels, and eliminating biases in human analysis. The platform pioneers a model training approach, leveraging historical data to identify and correlate crucial information from natural language texts, thus helping organizations reimagine financial risk assessment.
