Intelligent Credit Analysis

Major Commercial Bank

A leading commercial bank struggled with lengthy credit approval cycles that were losing business to faster competitors. Their credit analysts spent 3-5 days compiling due diligence reports for each corporate loan application, manually extracting data from financial statements, verifying information across multiple sources, and writing risk assessments.

The Challenge

  • Financial statement analysis required 6-8 hours per application
  • Due diligence reports took 3-5 days to complete
  • Inconsistent risk assessment quality across analysts
  • High-value customers defecting to faster competitors

Orion AI deployed an intelligent credit analysis system that automatically ingests financial statements, extracts key performance indicators, cross-references data across multiple documents, and generates comprehensive due diligence reports. The system provides risk scores with full explainability, allowing credit officers to focus on judgment calls rather than data gathering. Human-in-the-loop workflows ensure final decisions remain with experienced bankers while AI handles the analytical heavy lifting.

Compliance Review Automation

Regional Banking Group

A regional banking group operating across multiple jurisdictions faced mounting compliance challenges. Their compliance team struggled to keep pace with rapidly evolving regulations, relying on manual review processes that could only sample a fraction of transactions and documents. Regulatory penalties and audit findings were becoming increasingly frequent and costly.

The Challenge

  • Regulatory updates across 5 jurisdictions impossible to track manually
  • Only 15% of transactions reviewed for compliance
  • Internal policy documents outdated and inconsistent
  • Audit preparation required weeks of document gathering

Investment Research Platform

Asset Management Firm

A mid-sized asset management firm was losing competitive edge as their research analysts spent more time gathering and organizing information than generating investment insights. With research reports scattered across multiple systems and no efficient way to synthesize analyst viewpoints, portfolio managers lacked the timely intelligence needed for confident investment decisions.

The Challenge

  • Analysts spent 60% of time on data gathering vs analysis
  • Research reports siloed across 8 different systems
  • No efficient way to compare viewpoints across sources
  • Morning briefings required 4+ hours to prepare

Intelligent Customer Service

Digital Banking Division

The digital banking division of a major financial institution was struggling to scale customer support alongside rapid user growth. Call volumes were increasing 40% year-over-year, customer wait times were climbing, and quality assurance could only review a small fraction of interactions. Customer satisfaction scores were declining despite increased staffing costs.

The Challenge

  • Average wait time exceeded 8 minutes during peak hours
  • Quality assurance reviewed only 3% of customer interactions
  • Inconsistent responses to common product questions
  • Agent training took 6 weeks for full productivity
