The bank needed to centralize and automate its credit card servicing processes which were previously manual. Newgen provided an end-to-end solution to process the 50,000 monthly card servicing requests through automation and integration with the bank's systems. This reduced processing time from 2.5 days to under 2 hours, cutting costs by 6% monthly. Reporting and audit capabilities provided full visibility into card services. The bank aims to expand use of the system to more loan processes.
