Quick Assistance to Merge CIF Profiles

Clearing the backlog of processing customer profiles in large quantities and speeding up M&A-associated activities.

Case Summary

The client, a regional bank based out of Ohio, USA, encountered significant hurdles due to a large-scale merger, leaving a backlog of processing 40,000 customer profiles. SLK’s fast, timely and proactive approach helped the bank clear the backlog within 2 months.

The Challenge

The bank faced the challenge of processing and merging a large quantity of Customer Information Files (CIF). The backlog of 40,000 CIF reviews impacted the M&A-associated activities and their cycle times. The CIF reviews were complex, multi-level and required individual attention. This left the bank with a need of skilled resources to accelerate the process.

  • Completed training within a week with SMEs’ assistance and documentation of the process
  • Got a sign-off from the client on a detailed delivery plan quickly to accelerate the overall process

 

Automation tools were also implemented for ongoing and future CIF review projects.

Business Impact

The implementation of SLK’s approach led to significant improvements in the bank’s situation mentioned below:

  • SLK team cleared the backlog volumes in less than 2 months
  • For ongoing ECIF review projects, automation tools were implemented to raise the flags for suspected mergers
