Going the Automation Way

The bank had an aggressive strategy to expand the number of branches, and at the same time to provide more products and services to its customers. However, due to a lack of centralization and digitization, the bank had a heavy dependency on manual and paper-based processes, which led to higher costs and inefficiency. The complexity of the loan approval process and lack of transparency and visibility were also a concern for the bank’s expansion strategy.
The bank, therefore, strategized to automate its processes and develop a Central Processing Centre (CPC) and Regional Processing Centre (RPC) for complete back-office process automation. NIC Bank on-boarded Newgen as its technology partner and implemented its BPM-based solution to automate its processes.
