AI's Transformative Impact on India's Digital Banking and Compliance
By Prabhakar Srinivasan, Director – Co-Lead of Artificial Intelligence Practice, Synechron
India is leading the digital banking revolution, boasting some of the highest adoption rates globally. The sector is projected to reach $6.83 billion by 2026. In this highly regulated environment, banks and financial institutions must navigate a complex and ever-changing landscape of legal and compliance requirements.
Enter artificial intelligence (AI), a game-changer for compliance processes. AI solutions offer significant potential to transform how banks and financial institutions manage their compliance activities.
AI in Banking
According to a McKinsey report, the banking sector stands to gain substantial benefits from advanced AI and Generative AI (GenAI) technologies, with opportunities valued between $200 billion and $340 billion.
AI is making a profound impact in several areas of banking:
AI Chatbots: The development of Large Language Models (LLMs), Neural Network Computing, data democratization, and automation has enabled the introduction of AI chatbots. These chatbots provide a wide range of information and solutions to customers, reducing the need for human intervention.
Risk Management: AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data to detect patterns and anomalies that might be missed by human analysts. AI-powered Know Your Customer (KYC) systems reduce onboarding time and enhance policy management by identifying potential risks. Additionally, AI improves IT risk control through automated data integration and analytics.
Wealth Management: With the rise in high-net-worth accounts, wealth management in India is expected to reach $565.20 billion by 2026. AI enables banks to offer personalized investment solutions and algorithm-based profile management. GenAI analyzes data, summarizes reports, and provides tailored recommendations based on customer profiles.
AI's influence extends to regulatory compliance as well. The dynamic regulatory environment and the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) stringent oversight necessitate constant adaptation within the industry. AI offers several use cases for enhancing regulation and compliance processes.
Automating Compliance Processes
AI can automate manual and time-consuming tasks. For instance, over 2,000 state and local government websites provide updates on legal and regulatory requirements. AI and Machine Learning (ML) tools can interpret, consolidate, and categorize these updates to keep banks informed. Additionally, AI can digitize compliance documents, such as XBRL filings and RBI mandate forms, improving accuracy, streamlining workflows, and reducing costs.
Predictive Analysis
In the rapidly changing legal and compliance landscape, AI-driven solutions with natural language processing (NLP) capabilities are crucial for monitoring and predicting regulatory changes. Generative AI can identify potential areas of concern and generate relevant solutions, offering critical insights to enhance organizational compliance processes and strategies.
Effective Screening and Real-Time Monitoring
AI streamlines compliance screenings with precision and efficiency. Banks receive numerous alerts and notifications, making it challenging to filter through them. AI helps assess alerts, identify patterns, and provide solutions. It aids in swiftly screening customer profiles for fraudulent activities, essential for the KYC process, and in detecting potential money laundering transactions. AI tools also offer real-time transaction monitoring, flagging anomalies or suspicious patterns to prevent compliance breaches.
