Global regulatory requirements and constantly increasing transaction volumes demand greater operational efficiency and risk management. Financial institutions need efficient Reconciliation and Investigation capabilities to reduce financial risk. These capabilities help identify payment errors, discrepancies, or irregularities early in the payment process.

Relying on manual spreadsheets for reconciliation, despite the prevalence of automated tools in the industry, seems to be an unconventional decision. This choice may be attributed to factors such as not having taken the time to transition to a reconciliation platform, a belief that the current system is functional, a preference for the familiar spreadsheet interface, or simply adhering to established practices where reconciliation is not considered a top priority.

As financial institutions navigate the complexities of data privacy, stringent regulatory compliance, and the constant demand for high-quality data for testing and development, the emergence of synthetic data has proven to be a game-changer. Synthetic data’s innovative approach not only streamlines testing processes but also serves as a robust safeguard for sensitive information. For banks and financial organizations, the utilization of synthetic data represents an opportunity, providing efficient, compliant, and top-tier data solutions.

In today's data-driven world, organizations are constantly seeking ways to harness the power of data to drive innovation, improve decision-making, and deliver exceptional customer experiences. Traditional monolithic data architectures, however, often prove to be cumbersome and limiting in the face of evolving business requirements.

Banks and Financial institutions need to deliver better quality software to the business faster and at less cost. No bank can afford the time, the cost or the risk of employing an army of manual testers. They need to be able to respond to changing requirements by provisioning fit for purpose test data to the right place at the right time to accelerate and improve test cycles.

If not, it’s because the privacy fears and data leaks risks put decision makers in financial sector in a fake dilemma: Protecting the privacy of your customers and keeping their sensitive data secure or getting agile through privacy innovation? Is there a way to get the best of both sides without sacrificing on privacy and security?

An organization’s data is its most important and valuable asset and is the foundation for basically everything in today’s complex IT environments.

85% of organisations consider data as one of their most valuable assets, but face challenges in understanding this data and unlock value from it.
