Banking Financial Services and Insurance industry continues to house many legacy applications and business processes that involve many repetitive manual processes. Large organizations like JP Morgan Chase, UBS, MetLife insurance, etc., have invested millions of dollars over the years to transform their application landscape to enable end to end straight-through processing. Despite the large investments from major players, the industry has significant pockets of inefficiencies that need to be ironed out. In this mind space, Robotic Process Automation has occupied as an enabler towards the goal of digitally transformed straight-through processing.<\/p>\n

What is RPA in the financial services industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We define RPA in the BFSI industry as robotic\/programmed applications to augment or eliminate human efforts in the financial sector. RPA helps banks, insurance, operations, and finance departments automate repetitive manual processes, allowing the associates to focus on higher-value tasks and help the organization gain a competitive advantage. A fundamental rule-driven robotic process automation rules to automate tasks without any variation. To further enhance RPA, financial institutions have implemented intelligent automation by adding AI\/ML\/NLP (Artificial Intelligence,\u00a0Machine learning and Natural Language Processing) capabilities. The addition of intelligence enables the RPA software to handle complex processes, understand human language, recognize emotions, and adapt to real-time data.<\/p>\n

The global consulting firm, McKinsey, has produced a report<\/a> on RPA in which they have listed a set of potential automation candidates in the Banking and Finance industry.<\/p>\n
