The customer, a prominent financial institution operating across multiple jurisdictions, was grappling with significant challenges in understanding its diverse client base. This lack of clarity led to inefficiencies in their Know Your Customer (KYC) and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) processes. As a result, the bank faced substantial risks related to tax compliance, anti-money laundering (AML) obligations, and broader regulatory exposures. These issues were compounded by complex regulatory requirements that significantly hampered the bank's agility and ability to seize new market opportunities. In response, the bank sought an advanced technological solution capable of streamlining its operations across different jurisdictions, enhancing its ability to operationalize machine learning and AI, enforcing policy compliance rigorously, and substantially improving decision-making processes.
Over an intensive 16-week analytical period that spanned more than 10 departments, Farpoint conducted a thorough evaluation of the bank's data systems, architectures, and operational workflows. Through extensive stakeholder interviews and advanced multi-modal data analysis, we identified 28 critical operational challenges that were hindering efficiency and compliance in the bank's KYC, EDD, and cross-jurisdictional operations.Leveraging the Farpoint AI Prioritization Matrix, these challenges were distilled into four strategic AI-driven initiatives, each supported by a detailed financial model to project the Return on AI (ROAI).
Our approach extended beyond merely identifying technological solutions; it involved a deep dive into the bank's internal processes and cultural dynamics, uncovering valuable insights into employee perceptions and systemic inefficiencies. This comprehensive research provided the groundwork for a robust AI integration strategy, which utilized a three-horizon framework to design scalable and interoperable AI systems. These systems were tailored to not only resolve immediate operational issues but also prepare the groundwork for future technological advancements and market expansions.
