The challenge

KYC and credit packs still moved through email and shared drives. Relationship managers spent evenings chasing documents, and WhatsApp enquiries piled up outside branch hours — with no clear audit trail for what the bot or staff had already answered.

What we did

Placed a 9-month AI Implementation Team (lead + two automation specialists) to map document flows, deploy extraction and checklist tools inside the bank’s controlled environment, and stand up a Tier-1 WhatsApp assistant with human handoff. Later converted one outsourced ML engineer to permanent on the bank’s payroll.

How it ran

  1. 1

    Discovery (weeks 1–3): process walk + data access review

  2. 2

    Pilot on two product packs and one WhatsApp queue

  3. 3

    Scale to three more desks after policy sign-off

Risks handled

  • Customer data stayed in-bank
  • Change workshops for RMs
  • No single-vendor lock-in — models and prompts versioned in the bank’s repo
