Banks are now under constant pressure to make the entire banking process easier and more accessible to the public while also improving internal controls and complying with stringent regulations; all the while maintaining or decreasing costs. As a result, financial institutions and their account reconciliation processes are now under close scrutiny.

The effective management of the reconciliation process is essential to the success of any organisation and this is particularly true in the case of financial organizations. The main objective of performing reconciliation is to identify incompatibilities in data and achieve resolution because, when done in the right way, it draws attention to issues early in the process which reduces downstream effects, offers visibility into the processes, and reduces costs by at least 20%.

Elaborating on the partnership, Mani Mamallan Founder, Chairman & Managing Director of Electronic Payment and Services (P) Ltd said, “Since our inception, EPS has been a pioneering secure payment in the banking industry. We continue to pursue innovative solutions to the ever-growing needs of the banking industry and this tie – up with M/s Ascent Technology Consulting, a renowned global company proves that we are committed to offering a secure and seamless customer experience to our customers. It is a significant part of our growth strategy, since we have always believed in expanding our horizons by stepping into mutually beneficial partnerships.

Initially, EPS was primarily addressed as an end-to-end Automated Teller Machine (ATM) Operations & Outsourcing Services, but they intend to soon become an end-to-end Technology Solutions Provider for banks.

Commenting on the tie – up, Kundan Shekhawat, Founder & CEO of Ascent Technology said, “We have worked with some of the best teams in the world, and EPS is definitely one of them. Both companies share a very customer – centric mission with our biggest focus is on offering clients the flexibility to choose an engagement model which suits their needs.

The drive for financial inclusion and improvements in technology have both been a positive aspect for banks, however they also face a whole new set of challenges. The reconciliation process has and will always remain one of if not the most important process in a bank’s day to day working and we will utilize technology and our talented workforce for our client’s optimum benefit. This is our first partnership with an Indian company and we are glad that it happened to be EPS.”
