Remittance
Analytics

Manual reconciliation of every remittance against shifting SBP rebate criteria is slow, audit-fragile and labour-intensive. We turn the whole cycle into a query, not a rebuild.

Home remittances are a strategic priority for Pakistani banks, but the manual rebate cycle produces compliance, not competitive advantage.

The manual rebate-claim cycle ties up Finance and Audit teams every month: checking eligibility against complex SBP criteria, downloading FX rates by hand, hand-preparing SBP annexures: without producing the data needed to grow market share. It satisfies a regulator, and nothing else.

Remittance Analytics came out of that same monthly grind: SBP requirements change “from time to time,” and every new circular used to force a fresh MIS rebuild. We built the layer that turns a circular into a query instead.

How the platform works

Two stages, run on top of the raw transaction data your core banking system already has. Settle turns it into a certified claim; Understand turns the same data into a view of the business behind it.

Settle

Raw transaction data in, a certified claim out
01

Check eligibility

Every transaction is filtered against SBP eligibility criteria: threshold, split-transaction detection, and the monthly cap per remitter-beneficiary-OCE pair.

02

Calculate the claim

Claim value is computed per transaction against the applicable rate, consistently, with the working preserved.

03

Certify & settle

A CBS-ready settlement file is produced, gated by an “Audit Certified” status before it ever reaches submission.

Understand

From a compliance filing to a view of the business behind it
01

Answer

SBP’s ad-hoc reporting requests are met through natural-language queries: every new circular becomes a question, not a rebuild.

02

Illuminate

Corridor performance, OCE share and inflow patterns are surfaced from the same underlying data.

03

Advise

Those patterns feed FX advisory back to the corporate book, turning a compliance process into a source of strategic insight.

Where the effort goes today

The problem, the way it’s handled today, and what changes once Remittance Analytics is running.

The problem

  • Complex SBP eligibility criteria: a USD 200 threshold, split-transaction detection, a 5-per-month cap per remitter-beneficiary-OCE, accurate identity checks.
  • SBP requirements change “from time to time”: every new circular forces a fresh MIS rebuild.
  • OCE tie-up agreements scattered across files: no enterprise repository to evidence the zero-charge clause at audit.
  • A tight monthly deadline: claims due to SBP by the 20th of the following month, with head-of-audit certification.
  • Strategic data buried: no view of corridor performance, OCE share, or FX-advisory potential.

Current state

  • Finance manually re-keys approved monthly rebate amounts for disbursement to overseas OCEs.
  • Split transactions removed by visual inspection: slow and inconsistent.
  • Daily FX rates downloaded from the SBP website by hand, then averaged in a spreadsheet.
  • Annexures II, IV and V hand-prepared each cycle for SBP submission.
  • Internal Audit reviews samples, not every transaction.

What ALP delivers

  • End-to-end automation: raw data through an SBP eligibility filter to a CBS-ready settlement file, gated by an “Audit Certified” status.
  • An AI Audit Agent: 100% transaction coverage of every submission, replacing sample-based checks.
  • AI split-transaction detection: handles transliteration variants, superficial name differences, account-level corroboration.
  • A digital repository of OCE agreements with natural-language query and new-agreement benchmarking against the SBP standard.
  • Auto-populated Annexures II, IV and V: ready for the SBP Data Acquisition Portal.
