Client story

Streamlining the onboarding of complex funds


Discover how a leading bank transformed its complicated fund onboarding process from an expensive burden to a significant business growth accelerator.

Streamlining the onboarding of complex funds

Challenge

Accessing and streamlining data reconciliation

The bank's goal to expand its fund business was hindered by a complex onboarding process for new funds. This process demanded specialized skills and relied on in-house tools developed using Excel, with each new fund requiring a unique approach.

The bank needed a consistent, repeatable best practice to standardize the onboarding process. 

Pain points

The onboarding process necessitated reworking the previous administrator's data, relying heavily on Excel formulas, v-lookups, and mappings.

It required a high level of manual intervention which led to keying errors. The process depended on specialists and contractors for successful onboarding. High operation and maintenance costs were incurred with each process, representing a recurring sunk cost.
