Product Overview

The global payments landscape is changing dramatically following the adoption of ISO 20022 and the standardisation of message structures for all types of payments, including low-value, high-value, cross-border, and instant payments. It is expected that by 2026 most of the large global currencies and economies will be transacted using ISO 20022 standards. These ISO-based messages will simplify transaction processing with greatly reduced format translations and associated friction in processing payments.

However, they do enable the sending of much larger amounts of data compared to the various current proprietary formats, with banks now being able to access more information and data - to read, understand, interpret, leverage, and monetise. Unfortunately, a lot of this data will remain unstructured and in free text format, which legacy applications can struggle to adapt to. 

With the new standardised message formats, payment transaction processing will become a commodity and the only way banks can compete with fintechs and other banks would be through ease of use, new products and services, less friction in processing payments and better customer service (i.e. delight to customer). That’s why getting a grip on transaction data - and the ability to offer innovative and value-added products and services using this data - will be key to fight the competition, gain market share and increase revenues.

The Solution

Pelican AI's Financial AI Hub is an advanced component-based solution using various Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning (ML), and Knowledge Base techniques to read, understand, normalise, interpret and analyse huge volumes of structured and unstructured data.

This in turn generates business insights and recommendations on customers, products, and operations to improve payments operations such as significant reductions in manual efforts, improved automation and very high STP rates. You can then use normalised data to tag or categorise various payments such as salary, remittance, trade, F/X, vendor payments and compare it against its peer to provide additional insight to customers via personalised recommendation. In addition normalized data will also allow better compliance with low false positive rate.

This enables the monetisation of data by offering new products and services with new or increased revenue, and makes significant operational efficiencies which leads to better customer service and growth.
