Use Cases—

AI impact by function

Validated AI applications across critical banking functions—from fraud detection to credit underwriting. We conduct rigorous research, validate business impact, and enable scalable implementation of proven methodologies.

Fraud Detection

The Problem

Your team manually reviews 40,000+ alerts per month. 95%+ are false positives. Real fraud hides in the noise while analysts burn out.

What AI Does

  • Cuts false positives 20-90% by learning patterns your rules miss (verified at JPMorgan, HSBC, DBS)
  • Works 24/7 flagging anomalies the second they appear
  • Explains every decision with audit-ready reasoning
  • Learns from your analysts without replacing them

Business Impact

  • Reduce cost-per-alert from $57 to $4-8
  • Free up 8-12 analyst FTEs for complex cases
  • Catch fraud your current system misses
  • Deploy in 6-8 weeks, not 2 years

Proof: HSBC: 60% false positive reduction, 2-4x more crime detected. DBS: 90% reduction in false positives, 75% faster investigations.
