Banking & Finance.

Cognitive customer service, data-driven decisions, and resilient operations for banking and financial services —on top of your core, with compliance and security.

Why SUMāTO in this sector
In banking, every second and every data point matters.

Customers demand immediate answers, regulators demand control, and fraud never rests. SUMāTO brings AI, analytics, automation, and security to your financial operation without replacing your core.

Use cases

12 ways Banking & Finance leverages our portfolio.

Assisted collections

Contacts the customer who has fallen behind through the channel they answer, offers the payment options your policy allows and records the agreement in the portfolio system. The agent steps in only where there is something real to negotiate, with the history in view.

Credit file analysis

Reads payslips, financial statements and deeds, and pulls out the data the analyst needs to decide, flagging what is missing or does not add up. The analyst spends their time assessing risk, not keying figures out of a PDF.

Fraud prevention

Learns how each customer normally operates and raises an alert when something departs from that pattern: an unusual amount, hour, place or device. The alert arrives while the transaction can still be stopped, with the reason explained.

Risk and credit decisions

Combines internal history with external information to rank applications by real risk, not only by what a bureau reports. Every decision keeps the factors behind it, which is what gets asked for when it is challenged.

Customer onboarding and verification

Onboarding moves without anyone pushing it: identity documents validated, the lists the rules require checked, the full file assembled. If something does not add up it stops and alerts, leaving a record of every check.

Reconciliations and regulatory reporting

Cross-checks movements between systems, sets differences aside with their reason, and builds each regulator's report in its format and on its schedule. The close stops depending on someone staying late.

Capacity for the peak and the new channel

Payday, a sales season or a digital channel launch stop requiring infrastructure sized for the worst day of the year. Capacity follows actual movement and spend follows demand, with the controls the sector requires.

Verified access and audit evidence

Nobody has access by default: every person and device is verified at each access, and all of it is logged. When an audit or a regulator's request arrives, the evidence of who did what and when is already gathered.

A secure desktop in branch and remote

The adviser opens their desktop from the branch, from home or from a contact centre, and customer data never rests on the machine. Joiners and leavers are provisioned in minutes, which is what an operation with turnover needs.

Running and monitoring the critical systems

Core, channels and payment rails watched continuously, with incident handling and maintenance windows agreed in advance. An outage during trading hours is resolved before it reaches the branch queue.

Architecture and a modernisation roadmap

We set out where the core is modernised and in what phases, what is integrated and what is left stable. The output is a plan the committee can approve, with the cost and risk of each stage visible.

What to modernise first, using the bank's own figures

We measure the real state of process, data, platform and governance before budget is committed, with the baseline taken from your systems. It ends with opportunities ordered by what they save and what they demand, and with what is better left for later.

Anti-money-laundering monitoring

Segments customers by actual risk rather than by product type, watches activity against that profile, and documents every alert with its outcome. The compliance officer reviews prioritised cases instead of emptying a queue of name matches.

Instant payments and their reconciliation

Immediate payment schemes move volume outside banking hours and their reconciliation does not wait for close. It automates matching against the scheme, classifies rejections by cause, and keeps refunds inside the window the regulation requires.

Continuous evidence for the supervisor

Regulatory reporting and control evidence are assembled today against the deadline. Gathering them continuously turns a review into a query, and stops it depending on two people remembering where each supporting document was.

Frequently asked questions

What Banking & Finance teams usually ask.

How can AI improve customer service at a bank without losing control?+

At SUMāTO we design conversational experiences that handle common inquiries, guide transactions, and escalate to a human advisor when the case requires it, always with traceability. We combine intelligent workflows with process automation in the back office to reduce response times. Analytics on every interaction let you understand customer intent and refine service continuously and under governance.

What approach do you take to fraud prevention in financial operations?+

We address fraud by combining business rules with analytics models that detect anomalous patterns in real time and prioritize alerts by risk. We integrate these signals with your transactional systems and with cybersecurity controls to act before the transaction settles. The goal is to reduce false positives, protect the end customer, and sustain trust across every channel of your institution.

How do you help meet the sector's regulatory and audit requirements?+

We start from an enterprise architecture that organizes data, processes, and controls so that compliance is verifiable rather than a manual burden. We record traces, evidence, and access logs that streamline reporting to regulators and internal audits. Our team works alongside your risk and compliance areas to translate current regulation into concrete, documented operational controls that are sustainable over time.

What does ensuring operational continuity of financial services involve?+

Continuity requires that your services remain available in the face of failures, attacks, or disasters. With Continuity & DR (DRaaS) we establish disaster recovery and data replication that reduce downtime. We define recovery objectives per service, test the plans periodically, and monitor the state of the infrastructure, so your institution responds in an orderly way to incidents and protects the operations of customers and partners.

How do you strengthen cybersecurity against today's sector threats?+

We treat cybersecurity as an ongoing practice: we assess your posture, harden configurations, manage identities, and monitor threats continuously. We align these controls with your risk strategy and regulatory requirements, so protection covers every channel and application. At SUMāTO we prioritize measures by business impact, to invest where it truly reduces exposure and protects your customers' information.

Where should banking core modernization begin?+

We recommend evolving the core in stages, avoiding full replacements that raise risk. With a clear enterprise architecture we decouple services, expose capabilities through interfaces, and modernize the highest-value areas first. Our AI Contact Center engagement model integrates consulting and technology in a single point of accountability, so your institution moves forward with visibility, without disrupting daily operations.
