With the integration of the UiPath Platform,
leading Mexico financial services firm achieves unparalleled speed
and accuracy in processing high-volume tasks and boosts
productivity by 50 percent
UiPath (NYSE: PATH), a leading enterprise automation and AI
software company, announced today that Banco Azteca is transforming
its operations and achieving significant efficiency gains with the
strategic implementation of AI and automation from UiPath.
Banco Azteca is one of Mexico's largest financial institutions,
and a subsidiary of Grupo Salinas, which offers a comprehensive
range of financial services, including savings accounts, loans,
credit cards, insurance, and investment options. With an extensive
network across Mexico and Central and South America, Banco Azteca
serves millions of customers, focusing on financial inclusion and
empowering individuals and small businesses. The company’s AI and
automation initiative is revolutionizing business operations by
transitioning from labor intensive, error-prone manual processes to
streamlined, automated workflows.
“The transformation that we have achieved using the UiPath
Platform fortifies our competitive edge and underscores our
commitment to innovation, setting a new standard for excellence in
the financial sector,” said Kathia Barrios, Director of
Transformation Operations at Banco Azteca. “We have completely
overhauled batch processing, which took many hours to complete,
created drastic improvements in processing high quantities of
claims, and realized significant operational efficiencies. Our
transformation is enhancing customer experiences and employee
satisfaction.”
Banco Azteca incorporated AI and ML to tackle more complex tasks
and make smarter decisions. Initially, Banco Azteca built 15
automations to establish the foundation of its digital
transformation, but quickly realized the full potential of the
UiPath Platform within its Center of Excellence and developed more
automations to significantly improve customer service. The company
now has 190 automations designed to optimize diverse processes. For
example, 56% of banking transaction clarifications are now resolved
in under 24 hours and response times decreased from an average of
13 to 1 day. Business outcomes include enhanced service delivery,
heightened productivity, and increased shareholder value.
“AI and automation are revolutionizing the way we work by
empowering businesses to unleash innovation and tackle some of
their most time-consuming challenges to help people spend time on
more meaningful work,” said Brandon Deer, Go-to-Market Chief
Operations Officer and Chief Strategy Officer at UiPath. “The
results that Banco Azteca has achieved are truly inspirational not
only within the financial services sector, but to any business that
is seeking to modernize for the digital age with AI and automation.
This kind of success in operations and productivity is immediately
beneficial to customers, partners, and employees, all while
maintaining security and compliance with strict banking
regulations.”
UiPath Insights, which provides unparalleled visibility into
process performance and outcomes, is a fundamental pillar of Banco
Azteca's success. This, coupled with UiPath Automation Hub, enables
the company to identify and prioritize high-impact automation
opportunities. Additionally, the UiPath Action Center helps Banco
Azteca streamline validation processes, offering a user-friendly
interface that accelerates decision-making. The company is also
harnessing the power of UiPath Document Understanding to
intelligently extract information from structured and unstructured
documents, ensuring compliance with stringent banking regulations.
For instance, Document Understanding has been instrumental in
validating identification documents, a critical requirement for
Mexican and international banking standards.
In life insurance claims management, Banco Azteca has processed
18,400 folios and validated 237,000 documents in a single year,
leading to a remarkable savings of 7,300 working hours. In their
legal department, Banco Azteca has improved processing capacity and
generated over two hundred thousand dollars in savings per month.
Additionally, the bank’s financial document review process handles
1,300 documents daily, effectively eliminating human errors and
averting potential regulatory penalties. The capacity to perform
complex, high-volume tasks with unparalleled speed and accuracy has
not only boosted productivity by 50% but has also halved the
development time of complex bots.
Banco Azteca was also recently honored as a winner of the UiPath
AI25 Awards, which recognize companies that are using AI and
automation from UiPath to enhance productivity, transform
experiences, create substantial ROI, and deliver exceptional
business results.
