Case Study: Canada’s Largest Bank achieves accurate, faster commission payments with NICE Systems' Sales Performance Management

Making Financial Sector Sales Compensation Less Complex

One of Canada’s largest banks, with more than 1,000 investment and retirement planning agents selling mutual funds and GICs, struggled with highly complex, manually administered commission rules—shared and split payouts, tenure- and retention-based rates, and retroactive recoveries. Self-reported sales and slow validations produced inaccurate payments, commission leakage and clawbacks, two-month payment delays, poor reporting transparency, and lengthy dispute resolution.

NICE Sales Performance Management automated and validated sales submissions, pre-populated data fields, ran intraday calculations, and provided configurable dispute workflows and performance dashboards as a single source of truth. The implementation reduced overpayments, enabled commission payments within two weeks, improved reconciliation and reporting visibility, and streamlined inquiry management with a full audit trail.
