Digital Banking Trends Survey Identifies Robotic Process Automation Software as a Promising New Technology

Respondents Expect 30%+ Increases in the Use of RPA Across Numerous Compliance Functions

Irvine, CA, June 6, 2018 – Kofax®, a leading supplier of software to automate and digitally transform information intensive processes, today announced the results of a global survey of 100 leading financial institutions conducted in conjunction with Digital Banking Trends, the banking industry's innovative resource providing news, analysis and opinion on the business of digital banking, fintech and financial services.

The 2018 Financial Services Industry Survey Report confirms numerous compliance functions, from initial inquires through customer off-boarding, as key challenges for financial institutions, with 91% citing the “time/cost required from concept to reality” and 86% pointing to “budget constraints” as primary impediments. To combat these challenges, respondents expect substantial increases in the use of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) software across numerous compliance functions, from 41% in document gathering to 32% in customer off-boarding.

Today’s regulations require comprehensive Customer Due Diligence (CDD), Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and other compliance requirements from the moment a customer applies for a new account, throughout the lifetime of that account and beyond. This has led many financial institutions to experience considerable delays in bringing customers on board—in sharp contrast to consumers demanding a frictionless, anytime / anywhere experience via mobile devices and other self-service options.

Additional compliance challenges were also identified in the survey. Institutions said they were challenged by maintaining and updating their existing IT infrastructure in order to deploy and administer new compliance requirements. They also reported they had difficulty gaining access to the information required to comply with CDD, KYC and AML mandates.

Respondents identified RPA as one of the most promising new technologies for automating compliance processes, saving staff time, reducing errors and improving the customer experience.

Additional survey highlights include:

  • 32% of respondents said they expect a 20–29% increase in AML compliance costs in 2018, while only 5% expect a decrease
  • 68% obtain the information required to comply with CDD, KYC and AML mandates from up to five third party sources
  • 36% anticipate up to a 10% increase in spending for CDD, KYC and AML technology over the next 12-18 months

The 2018 Financial Services Industry Survey report, including the Top 10 Tips for Building an RPA Center of Excellence, real-world use cases and other useful resources, is now available for download on Kofax.com.
