Overview

The credit Card Offer compliance team is responsible for continuously ensuring the accuracy and integrity of Credit Card offers on the client’s consumer portal. The team manually reviews the offer information for 50+ cards across different Sources of Truth and updates the consumer website with the latest offer information.  

Failure to remediate information variations will result in SLA and Terms of Service breach with the partners, leading to penalties or worse, discontinuation of the partnership.  

It could also potentially impact customer satisfaction.

RPA Solution Summary

Equipped with a deep understanding of the client’s domain and processes, and given the repetitive and structured nature of the compliance tasks, Xalta team proposed Robotic Process Automation (RPA) as the automation tool.

The team demonstrated the quick value that could be derived from this automation, by building a POC in less than 2-weeks using Automation Anywhere platform as the RPA tool.

We further proceeded to automate the end-to-end Card Offers Data Compliance process by building an RPA solution comprising of unattended BOTs, that run on a daily basis and perform the following tasks

  • Extract the credit card offer data from 3 different Sources of Truth 
  • Clean, standardize and process the data so it can be compared across different sources 
  • Compare data and identify discrepancies 
  • Email the execution summary and deviations summary to the ops team.
