Case Study: Standard Bank achieves thousands of hours saved and reduced regulatory risk with Alteryx

Standard Bank - Customer Case Study

Standard Bank, an Africa-focused, client-centered and digitally enabled financial services group, faced pervasive manual processes across a complex system landscape. Finance teams spent hours collecting, standardizing and blending data from many systems, creating key-person dependencies, limiting analysis time and driving high operational risk and regulatory exposure.

By empowering business users to build Alteryx workflows, Standard Bank automated tasks from email-to-database transfers and SAP extracts to reconciliations with Pershing, cutting processes that once took hours or days down to seconds or minutes. The automations delivered thousands of hours saved annually, faster delivery with less IT reliance, improved regulatory compliance and risk reduction — e.g., 8 hours/month saved on static data updates, 24–30 hours/month on margin analysis, and 75 hours/month plus risk reduction on regulatory returns.
