Case Study: Large European Bank achieves fast, compliant trade finance and 15% payroll cost avoidance with Tungsten Automation

Large European Bank Delivers Fast, Compliant Trade Finance Services

A large European bank serving millions of retail, business and corporate customers faced a sharp rise in trade finance compliance requirements that forced staff to review hundreds of data fields per transaction. The increased sanctions and embargo screening threatened turnaround times and would have required roughly a 15% increase in headcount and operating cost to maintain service levels.

The bank deployed Tungsten Trade Finance Solution Framework on the Tungsten TotalAgility platform to automate data capture, workflows and AI-driven checks. The digital workflow now extracts about 80% of compliance data automatically, avoids the ~15% payroll/headcount increase, preserves fast customer turnaround and reduces regulatory risk while freeing employees for higher-value tasks.
