Real-life examples of implementation

Solutions offered by Solidity in cooperation with IBM help to significantly improve the efficiency and security of business processes in various industries, especially in the banking sector. Two vivid examples of such solutions implemented for Ukrainian banks demonstrate how technology can significantly reduce business risks and improve operational efficiency.

• Anti-fraud system for a bank

Solidity's partnership with an international commercial bank, one of the ten largest in Ukraine, was critical to ensuring security and reducing the risk of fraud. The task was to implement an anti-fraud system for a new online banking platform that would serve nearly 1 million users.

Challenges. The bank faced several key challenges, including the lack of a unified data structure, the need to combine transactions for each customer (identity) and to ensure the system's 99.999% fault tolerance. There was also a need to protect against fraud, particularly social engineering.

Solution. The Solidity team implemented a robust architecture that guaranteed continuous operation even in the event of a data centre failure. The implemented system enabled a rapid response to new types of fraud, reducing the time to apply countermeasures from 5 days to 5 minutes.

Results. As a result of the implementation of the anti-fraud system, the fraud rate decreased by 70%, reputational risks decreased by 90%, and the bank was able to ensure the continuous and secure operation of the platform for almost one million users. This project demonstrated the effectiveness of using innovative technologies, such as IBM solutions for data protection and process automation.

• Implementation of the KYC policy

Another example of a successful technology implementation for one of Ukraine's leading banks is the implementation of a Know Your Customer (KYC) policy. This solution has enabled the bank to significantly reduce fraud risks and improve the efficiency of customer and partner verification.

Challenges. In the initial stages, the bank faced the problems of a lack of an effective monitoring system, un-updated counterparty data and a large amount of time spent on manual customer verification. In particular, the bank was experiencing financial losses due to non-performing loans as a result of poor verification at the initial customer identification stage.

Solution. Solidity created a single, regularly updated database containing information on all target groups. The introduction of automated business process orchestration systems and a scoring solution significantly accelerated the verification process. In addition, customised interfaces were developed to enable each area of the bank to work with the data as efficiently as possible.

Results. The implementation of the solution made it possible to increase the speed of customer verification by 20 times, reduce the number of non-performing loans by 20% and reduce fines from the National Bank of Ukraine by 30%. Thanks to the automation of processes, the number of employees involved has decreased, resulting in lower operating costs.

The successful implementation of such cases confirms that the use of IBM technologies and Solidity solutions is extremely useful for companies seeking to improve security, optimise operations and reduce the risk of fraud. These innovative solutions not only help to improve business processes, but also increase customer and regulatory confidence, which is crucial for the modern banking sector.
