We understood AYA Bank’s specific operational requirements and onboarded them to our TLM OnDemand Digital Payments Control service within the agreed time and budget. In doing so, we not only achieved the expected results but also cultivated a strong, trust-based partnership. Implementing this project remotely for a new client underscores our team’s expertise and commitment. Our solution leverages an advanced reconciliations engine that automates transaction validation and replaces manual interventions with an automated exceptions management process. This ensures the prompt resolution of discrepancies, enhancing overall operational efficiency and future-proofing the bank with high levels of automation, enhanced risk controls, improved customer satisfaction and better scalability.”

Delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS), the solution eliminates the need for AYA Bank to manage and maintain IT environments and underlying systems related to reconciliations and exceptions management processes.
