Digital Payments Hub

Next-generation payments and compliance suite

SMALL01-digital-payments-1

Payment systems worldwide are undergoing significant transformation due to ISO 20022 and the introduction of real-time (or Instant or Fast) payments.

Cross-border payments, High value (RGTS) payments, and instant payments along with many ACH systems like SEPA, will all be using ISO 20022 based message formats, globally. This means by 2026, 80% of global payments will be in ISO 20022 format, especially for major currencies. This will significantly transform the payment landscape. All banks and vendors will be able to provide SWIFT, faster or instant, RTGS, and ACH payments in ISO standard formats. With popularity of scalable cloud technologies, containerisation and microservices, scalable payment platforms will be “standardised” and commonplace.

In addition, due to increasing fraud and financial crime, regulators are increasing the number of checks for sanctions screening, AML, KYC, and fraud. This means an efficient, integrated, and seamless financial crime compliance check is now a mandatory requirement within any payment solution – on-cloud or on-premise. 

Pelican AI provides one component-based integrated system to manage payments, compliance, and fraud checks. This allows for a single view of all data, enabling corrective action to meet strict processing times, along with the ability to have one common view of the customer transactions for both payments and compliance. (Essential for Faster or Instant payments.)

Pelican AI’s Digital Payments Hub allows banks to be highly efficient in their processing environment and compete with Fintechs and other banks at the same time as effectively meeting regulatory requirements with very low false positives and all within one single instance of Pelican.

Instant Payments

Pelican AI Digital Payments Hub can also provide a standalone Instant Payment processing platform for built-in real-time payments and compliance. It allows banks to add immediate payments functionality to their current infrastructure while retaining existing investments in legacy systems, providing quick access to the liquidity and service benefits of real-time transactions - without the traditional implementation challenges and costs.

Financial AI Hub

Payments optimisation and monetisation

SMALL02-financial-ai-ready

Payments analytics and monitoring: AI can significantly improve monitoring. From providing better customer service to categorising payments and statements through to intelligently matching them.  Providing insight into customer behaviour as well as improving fraud detection and prevention.

Insight and recommendations: In addition, through valuable data insights, led by historical information and ISO 20022 payments data, a business can improve profitability, optimise revenue, and cut costs. 

Improve process optimisation and reduce friction and associated costs: By using AI to perform continuous learning, machine readable data can then be used to update models dynamically. This can support operational efficiencies by reducing manual effort (e.g., auto repair and enrichment).

Data monetisation: Leading firms are now using various AI techniques such as machine learning and NLP to monetise the data itself by detailed insight into customer payments and statements. 

 

Improved customer experience across the banking journey: With the use of various AI techniques, banks can reduce friction in payment processing, search rapidly and efficiently through this data beyond the standard set of factors like time, velocity, currency, beneficiary, types of transactions, country and amount. They can then analyse this data in new and innovative ways to vastly improve customer experiences.

Most critically, systems can learn from each transaction, constantly improving and becoming more effective — something unique to machine learning and AI. 

The solution offers an intelligent repair, routing, reporting, and revenue generation platform that drastically increases capacity and reduces costs. AI technology transforms STP, fuelling the matching of unstructured text with speed and precision. 

The unique AI foundation of the PelicanPayments platform enables intelligent contextual understanding along the payments chain, elevating automation above the capability of standard rules-based systems.

Key Features

  • Data normalisation allows better understanding of data for payments optimisation, enrichment and better financial crime compliance with low false positive rate.
  • Highest STP rates using Natural Language Processing (NLP) for complex payment repairs.
  • Auto-routing, based on content and business objectives.
  • Self-learning - learns from an operator for high STP rates.
  • Increased correspondent banking revenue using AI to integrate billing and payments systems.
