Delivering compliant and customer focused processes in Corporate Banking

With the imminent introduction of new regulation, a major Irish bank recognised that it was at serious risk of non-compliance.   

Concerned that substantial fines could result, the bank asked us to develop a standard way of working that could be adopted across all regions.

The project scope covered 44% of all core customer-facing activity and 70% of the employees within the business.

In order to sustain new processes, involving employees is vital.

• We worked with front-line employees from all territories and the regulatory and operational risk team to get their input on what needed to change.
• Current compliance guidelines were causing confusion between teams

Creating one best way

• We engaged staff in designing a standard process with clear User Guides
• We also made key metrics highly visible, allowing managers and teams to quickly see how deals were progressing

These changes allowed the organisation to transition from retrospective quality checking to in-built process quality assurance, reducing costs and saving time.

• Clear process guidelines with documentary evidence to meet current and future regulatory requirements
• Introduction of a collaborative approach, among all the teams based on greater openess.
