Our Capabilities for Financial Services

Conversational Banking

Automate time-consuming and mundane processes and offer a streamlined and personalized customer experience. With our NLP capabilities and high-quality multilingual training data, you can build Intent and utterance models to train virtual assistants or chatbots to better understand and respond to human interaction, driving a personalized service and higher levels of customer satisfaction.

Regulation Compliance

Automatically curate regulatory content and reduce the risk of making mistakes and oversights. Extract metadata from legal and regulatory documents to automate compliance monitoring using Named Entity Recognition (NER), Entity Extraction and OCR Transcription, saving time and reducing costs.

Financial Advisory

Offer customers highly specialized and targeted financial advice and guidance. Train ML models to track customer’s spending and analyze this data to identify their spending patterns, followed by identifying the areas where they can save.

KYC Automation

Streamline the KYC process making it more convenient and customer centric. Computer vision is used to analyze and extract relevant information from images. Through video call, customers can complete their digital verification process quickly.

Fraud Detection

Detect unusual activity as it develops, while also identifying which accounts are vulnerable to fraud.
AI can target genuine threats and streamline the number of false flags produced by the system. Using Named Entity Recognition (NER), identify entities that are parties to suspect transactions. Computer vision can be used to detect any cheque tampering, by identifying missing or duplicate cheque numbers.

Risk Management

Significantly lower risk levels by analyzing a massive volume of data sources to identify high-risk profiles. By providing your ML model with our annotated training data, it will be able to analyze and recognize high risk customer profiles.

Sentiment Analysis

Analyze open-ended text customer feedback forms, surveys, or social media posts to accurately understanding customer sentiments. Use NLP-based sentiment analysis to analyze news media related to credit markets and monitor credit sentiments from news media.

Document & Contract Intelligence

Using Named Entity recognition (NER) and Optical Character Recognition (OCR), AI models can assist in this analysis by automatically extracting relevant clauses and entities from Loan or credit Applications, Financial Leasing Contracts and other relevant documents.
