Automated and integrated Exceptions and Investigations handling with SWIFTNet E & I
The Issue
Impressive STP rates are achieved by many market participants but the real costs of back office operations are buried in exception handling and investigation. While STP transactions cost cents, manual interventions and exception handling cost 100 or 200 Euros.
- Management and handling of exceptions and investigations are resource-intensive activities, based to a large extent on manual interventions
- Exceptions and investigation processes are often unstructured and non-standardized
- Business processes and communication flows remain unautomated
