Business Activity Monitoring: Optimization of Payment Flows
Proactive Oversight:
Safeguarding Payment Flows to Prevent Costly Disruptions
Monitoring payment flows is vital to preempt anomalies and bottlenecks that can escalate into customer dissatisfaction and financial losses. Early detection allows financial institutions to take swift action, ensuring seamless transactions and preserving client trust.
Consider these real-life scenarios that highlight the risks of inadequate business activity monitoring:
- Forex Payment Delay Due to System Restriction: A corporate client’s cross-border forex payment was delayed due to a system limitation requiring the transaction to be split into three parts. The delay risked loss claims, with customer service unaware and unable to inform the client.
- Container Ship Payment Issue: A container ship remained stuck at its harbor of origin, awaiting clearance due to a payment flow issue. The delay disrupted the client’s operations, leading to financial losses and a compensation claim.
Achieving Proactive Oversight with End-to-End Payment Flow Transparency
Financial institutions struggle to identify blocked transactions, system bottlenecks and impacted payments in real time, leading to delayed issue resolution and increased operational risk.
Without immediate insight into Value at Risk or continuous SLA monitoring across internal systems and external partners, Financial Institutions are left reacting to problems instead of preventing them. End-to-end payment flow transparency is essential to shift from a reactive to a proactive approach, ensuring real-time issue identification, drill-down insights and enhanced Business Activity Monitoring.
Real-Time Payment Flow Monitoring
For Financial Institutions to guarantee seamless, effective transaction processing, real-time payment flow monitoring is crucial. It gives visibility throughout the whole payment lifecycle, including business activity monitoring and technical performance monitoring (which monitors how long each step in the flow takes to execute).
Financial Institutions are able to monitor every stage of the payment process, meet SLAs and quickly identify any performance or stability bottlenecks thanks to this thorough oversight. These capabilities are essential as banks transition to instant payments, where accurate and prompt processing is essential to maintain operational resilience, customer trust and compliance.
The Vyntra Transaction Track & Trace solution offers this end-to-end payment flow tracking.
