HONG KONG & SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Moody’s Analytics and United Overseas Bank (UOB) today announced that they have won The Credit Risk Technology Implementation of the Year award at The Asian Banker’s Risk Management Awards 2018. This award is in recognition of UOB’s successful rollout of the Moody’s Analytics RiskAuthority™ solution to automate its data consolidation and computation processes for compliance reporting.
The RiskAuthority solution is a regulatory technology (regtech) solution that helps to streamline and to automate regulatory compliance processes in the areas of data management, regulatory capital calculations and financial reporting.
UOB was the first bank in Singapore to adopt the RiskAuthority™ solution, which also enables more timely risk-weighted asset (RWA) calculations and in turn increased productivity. UOB anticipates that it will be able to generate regulatory reports using less than half the time needed previously for the manual process. The solution is also part of UOB’s continual system enhancements to be better equipped when addressing new or changing regulatory requirements.
Mr. Lim Ann Liat, Head of Markets and Enterprise Technology, Group Technology and Operations, UOB, said, “At UOB, technology is an enabler for us not only to enhance the experience and connectivity for our customers, but also a way for us to drive performance. The RiskAuthority solution is one such example of how we are tapping the benefits of digital solutions to enhance the efficiency of our compliance reporting processes. The scalability of the solution also means that we are able to achieve consistent regulatory reporting standards across multiple jurisdictions, including our key markets such as Thailand and China.“
“We are honored to receive this award from The Asian Banker and delighted to share it with our long-time partners at UOB,” said Mr. Wael Jadallah, Managing Director at Moody’s Analytics. “Moody’s Analytics is committed to helping financial institutions meet their business and regulatory challenges. Increased efficiency and a sizable reduction in infrastructure costs are among the benefits UOB has gained from our RiskAuthority solution.”
