Payment Fraud Detection and Prevention; What Banks and Financial Institutions Need to Know

A shared ledger, which could be relied on as the single source of truth for the existence and status of a bank guarantee, could resolve physical documentation management challenges, tracking and reporting issues, while acting as a catalyst for standardisation. In an ecosystem where three parties (i.e. the importer, the bank, and the exporter) participate in the creation,management and expiry of a common instrument, a blockchain solution could provide the optimal medium for facilitating the necessary flow of information, while balancing the competing needs of transparency and confidentiality.

Lunch and Learn Table 3
In Search of Efficiency: How Intelligent Process Automation Will Transform Trade Banks

In a drive to maximize efficiency within trade banks, the industry has begun embracing elements of intelligent process automation, including artificial intelligence, robotic process automation, machine learning, and natural language processing. Banks and FinTechs are combining these new technologies in innovative ways, creating new services from chatbots to intelligent data capture platforms. These innovations are also being leveraged for “RegTech” solutions, like the automation of red flags during a transaction and reduction of false positives using artificial intelligence. How is your bank taking advantage of these burgeoning technologies and what impact do you think they will have on the trade finance landscape?
