03

Payment Flow, Corridor & Revenue Radar

Explain which payment flows changed, why they changed and where value is being lost.

GrowthProductivity
Problem

Aggregate MIS shows payment volume movement but does not isolate the clients, corridors, channels, methods, failures or pricing behaviors driving it.

Optimize
Grow payment flows, fees and analyst capacity.

Direct Product teams to the highest-value commercial or operational action.

Payment growthFee yieldAnalysis time saved
How to implement
  1. Create a certified payment and billing layer by client, corridor, currency, channel, method and exception reason.

  3. Offer natural-language analysis and action queues for pricing leakage, lost flows, API migration and corridor growth.
04

Transaction-Led Next-Best-Solution Engine

Convert observable GTS behavior into qualified cash, payment and trade opportunities.

Growth
Problem

Clients may use one GTS solution while their payment, balance, reconciliation or trade patterns reveal a clear unmet need elsewhere.

Optimize
Increase qualified leads and GTS wallet depth.

Prioritize opportunities with transaction evidence and estimated value.

Lead acceptanceConversionIncremental revenue
How to implement
  1. Define product signals such as idle cash, manual reconciliation, cross-border growth and supplier-payment concentration.
  2. Compare clients with relevant peers and rank the solution fit by propensity, revenue potential and service benefit.
  3. Route an explainable lead to GTS Sales and Product campaigns; learn from acceptance, conversion and realized value.
05

Digital Banking Journey & Implementation Intelligence

Use DBS digital-channel data to remove friction from onboarding to daily transacting.

GrowthProductivity
Problem

Clients encounter friction across onboarding, entitlements, payment setup, file upload and API implementation, but the signals sit across separate systems and teams.

Optimize
Increase activation, digital adoption and completion.

Make GTS internet banking and implementation journeys easier and faster.

Journey completionTime to first transactionSupport contacts
How to implement
  1. Join privacy-approved clickstream, error, ticket, entitlement and implementation-milestone data by journey.
  2. Use funnel and process-mining analysis to identify abandonment, repeated errors and slippage drivers.
  3. Partner with Digital and Technology on guided help, proactive alerts and a prioritized journey-fix backlog.
06

Trade & Working Capital Opportunity Intelligence

Find financing demand and trade-flow shifts across buyers, suppliers and corridors.

GrowthRisk
Problem

LCs, guarantees, imports, exports, receivables and counterparty data are complex, making financing gaps and declining trade relationships hard to identify early.

Optimize
Grow trade assets, utilization and fee income.

Match observable working-capital needs to the right GTS solution.

Trade assetsUtilizationOpportunity conversion
How to implement
  1. Link trade instruments, transaction flows, counterparties, tenor, receivable days and approved external trade data.
  2. Forecast utilization and detect changes in buyer-supplier networks, corridors and working-capital gaps.
  3. Generate explainable opportunities for receivables finance, supply-chain finance, guarantees or invoice finance.
07

Intelligent Payment Routing, Repair & STP Optimizer

Improve how payments are routed and prevent avoidable rejects before submission.

GrowthProductivityRisk
Problem

Static routing and fragmented error intelligence create avoidable rejects, repairs, delays, correspondent costs and inconsistent client outcomes.

Optimize
Increase STP while reducing cost and delay.

Optimize the payment path within approved risk and routing rules.

STP rateCost per paymentRepairs per 10k
How to implement
  1. Combine payment lifecycle events, route, correspondent, cut-off, format, reject and repair data.
  2. Predict failure risk and evaluate eligible routes by speed, cost, acceptance probability and control constraints.
  3. Apply pre-submission validation and explain recommended fixes; keep routing rules and releases under human governance.
08

Trade Document Review & Discrepancy Intelligence

Accelerate document checking while preserving trade-examiner accountability.

ProductivityRisk
Problem

Trade teams manually compare letters of credit, invoices, bills of lading and certificates, creating long turnaround and discrepancy risk.

Optimize
Shorten review time without weakening control.

Focus specialist capacity on ambiguous and high-risk documents.

Review TATDetection recallReviewer capacity
How to implement
  1. Extract structured fields from approved trade-document types and validate them against a labeled test set.
