Case Study

STATE BANK OF INDIA

At a Glance:

State Bank of India desired to have a path-breaking transformation of its Trade Finance operations by centralizing 95% of the processing activities and retaining branch-centric 5% of the activity with the branches through a fusion of branch banking and centralized processing:

The Challenge The Solution The Benefits
The legacy software of SBI has been restricted to branch banking which had the following restrictions: It was proposed to have a mechanism whereby the branch will only receive the documents from customer, input minimum data and send to Centralized hub. However, customer/other bank interactions and correspondence should be done by branches and the profit centre should be the branch itself. It is neither Unit Banking nor Centralized banking. This called for hybrid-model of process flow. This was achieved by developing the following solution.
  • Huge reduction in deployment of Trade Finance specialists
  • Each branch of the bank could cater to trade finance needs of its own customers.
  • Customer visits the branch and delivers documents
  • Speedy disposal of transactions improving customer service and resulting in increased business.
  • Required positioning Domain specialists at all branches
  • Branch does KYC verification and checks eligibility for transaction
  • Burden on branch staff reduced helping them to concentrate on other business development
  • Acquiring domain intensive resources was a challenge
  • Branch inputs minimum data, uploads documents and sends to CPC.
  • Branch-Customer relationship is still maintained with personal touch
  • Each branch was handling the same work repeteadly
  • CPC processes the transaction thoroughly and completes the transaction.
  • Efficiency of operations improved substantially since CPC staff are well-informed and perform operations regularly
  • Bank needed to take numerous forex category B
  • CPC refers exception records to Specialists and for Compliance validations.
  • Centralized activities are done by CPC itself while Branch specific activities are routed to Branches seamlessly without the involvement of mails/ telephone callsl
  • CPC triggers Swift messages & accounting entries on behalf of branch and completes the transaction
  • Perfect communication history maintained
  • Branch would then dispatch / hand-over documents to other banks / customers
  • Accountability for delays, if any, can be easily detected.
