THE PROBLEM
Manual, Time-Consuming Transaction Monitoring Held Back Growth
Sila, a leading aggregator in the fintech industry, partnered with Unit21 to streamline its compliance processes.
Before Unit21, Sila dealt with manual transaction monitoring with heavy reliance on spreadsheets and database queries. This process was not scalable and required significant manual effort.
Sila struggled with maintaining full visibility into transactions, creating their own tracking systems without an automated solution, which was not sustainable as they grew.
“We needed a transaction monitoring system that eliminated the manual effort and would grow with us.”
TLDR: Problems
Manual Workload: Sila initially handled compliance through labor-intensive manual processes.
Scalability Challenges: The existing manual system was incapable of supporting customer growth.
Compliance Visibility: Limited visibility with banking partners heightened operational workload.
