Customer Story

Challenges

Before adopting Xoxoday, the fintech’s compliance and operations teams worked in a high-pressure environment with strict timelines, increasing transaction volumes, and minimal acknowledgment for their accuracy-driven work. Most workflows were manual, fragmented, and time-consuming. This not only increased the risk of errors but also led to operational fatigue and low morale.

The leadership needed a systematic way to reinforce accuracy, streamline compliance tasks, reduce manual overhead, and celebrate the high-impact work performed by back-office teams that often goes unnoticed.

Key challenges included:

• High manual dependency: Risk and processing teams spent long hours reconciling data and preparing compliance reports manually.
• Error rates: Frequent inaccuracies in data validation and transaction tagging impacted SLA performance and escalations.
• Limited recognition: Back-office teams received little acknowledgment for accuracy, fraud prevention, or timely submissions.
• Compliance pressure: Rapidly growing transaction volumes raised the risk of audit lapses and missed timelines.
• Low morale: Minimal visibility into team achievements reduced engagement, motivation, and a sense of ownership.

Personas Involved

• Head of compliance: Oversees risk controls, audit readiness, and regulatory alignment.
• Risk operations managers: Track accuracy, fraud detection metrics, and SLA performance.
• Compliance officers: Validate transactions, prepare audit reports, and conduct AML/KYC checks.
• Processing and reconciliation teams: Handle day-to-day validation, settlement, and exception management tasks.
• Fraud monitoring teams: Detect suspicious activity and escalate high-risk cases.
• HR and engagement teams: Manage reward programs and recognition governance.
• Leadership and audit teams: Use dashboards to track compliance health and operational efficiency.

Platform Setting and Implementation

The company adopted Xoxoday’s compliance and process recognition platform to automate recognition workflows, improve accuracy tracking, and strengthen motivation across risk, reconciliation, and back-office teams. The rollout followed a structured, compliance-first framework tailored for multi-region operations.

2. Process mapping: Aligned reward triggers with workflows for reconciliation, AML screening, fraud checks, and regulatory reporting.
3. Role-based access: Defined visibility and access levels for operations, compliance, and management teams to protect sensitive data.
4. Recognition framework: Introduced categories such as “Accuracy Star,” “Risk Defender,” and “Audit Hero” tied to measurable performance indicators.
5. Multi-currency payouts: Enabled USD and CAD reward options—digital vouchers, prepaid cards, and merchandise—for cross-border teams.
6. Compliance dashboard: Activated real-time dashboards to monitor accuracy, SLA performance, and recognition frequency.
7. Data insights and reporting: Introduced analytics to track fraud detection trends, task efficiency, and readiness for internal and external audits.
