It's automatic: Robots assist OCBC operations

The two work in the secured lending and finance teams.

OCBC Bank launched two robots in October into its retail banking secured lending (CSL) and finance teams.

It said in an announcement that the robot attached to the CSL team assists with housing loan re-pricing.

The processing time for housing loan re-pricing has been reduced by 97%. The OCBC Bank robot can also process more than 100 re-pricing applications a day.

The robot checks on customers’ eligibility to re-price, recommends appropriate re-pricing options, and drafts the recommendation email for the customer.

Meanwhile, the robot attached to its finance team assists with sales performance reporting.

OCBC said the 120 minutes spent in preparing the report has been reduced to 12 minutes by the robot.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
