With the implementation of TCS BaNCS for Reconciliations, the CEB will be able to automate the entire reconciliation lifecycle—from transaction matching and exception handling to investigation and reporting. The product will provide real-time visibility and greater transparency while reducing manual effort and turnaround times. Its integration with the bank’s core systems will allow better control and faster daily reconciliations. The bank will also be equipped with tools to automate critical tasks such as file loading, extraction of PDF statements, and reconciliation of unmatched entries.
