Sarcouncil Journal of Applied Sciences Aims & Scope

Abstract: Commercial banks face enormous challenges in providing unified customer experiences while ensuring regulatory compliance and operational effectiveness using classic Customer Information File management systems. Legacy architecture delivers huge operational drag by partitioning customer data silos that reside across multiple product lines, leading to delayed account verification processes, duplicate customers, compliance holes, and limited visibility into holistic client relationships. Modern CIF platforms use up-to-date integration technologies and service-oriented architectures to develop integrated customer data repositories that support real-time synchronization features and end-to-end consolidation of data through all banking points of contact. New account lookup systems utilize advanced search methodologies involving fuzzy logic matching, address validation, and relationship mapping to deliver complete account discovery functionality with geographic distribution that delivers low-latency responses. Extended operational advantages comprise streamlined customer acquisition using artificial intelligence-powered automation, end-to-end client relationship management using integrated dashboards, and advanced transaction history analysis, facilitating intelligent credit decisions and risk evaluation. Opportunities for revenue generation arise through API-powered service packages that charge for account verification functionality, premium analytical services offering actionable customer insights in subscription-based models, and cross-selling optimization initiatives using integrated customer views to determine untapped needs in product categories. The evolution of CIF systems from siloed data repositories to combined intelligent platforms is a paradigm change in customer relationship management and business development strategies.
