“This solution will enable the automated extraction and processing of backend routine tasks in order to more effectively meet the requirements of the Kingdom’s local authorities and regulatory bodies. This, in turn, will lead to an increase in efficiency, accuracy, and speed in terms of processing time. We look forward to the automation of other back-office processes in the near future as part of the bank’s agile three-year digitization strategy.”
Mr. Ali Al Khaja, Head of Compliance and Anti-money Laundering at Al Salam Bank, stated that the RPA solution will lead to operational excellence, better cost optimization, and significantly reduce risk, resulting in achieving better accuracy and transparency in meeting regulatory compliance requirements.
“In addition, the automation of routine tasks will enable employees to direct their focus towards other strategic initiatives and high-impact work,” Mr. Al Khaja added.
“Additionally, this step is in parallel with the bank’s guiding principle ‘Be Digitally Native’, which constitutes smart and efficient banking services through adopting a digital, solution-driven mindset in order to provide clients with an enriched banking experience characterized by convenience, simplicity, and efficiency,” according to the statement.
