Unveiling Summary:
Rabobank, a leading Dutch financial institution, has embraced Camunda's Self-Managed platform to transform its Financial Economic Crime (FEC) operations, focusing on workflow and process orchestration, automation, and integration with advanced technologies.
The partnership was showcased at CamundaCon 2025 in Amsterdam, where Daan Wijfje and Andrés Lara Buendia from Rabobank spoke about the bank's journey with Camunda.
Orchestrating FEC Operations for Improved Efficiency and Compliance
Camunda's platform is instrumental in end-to-end process orchestration for Rabobank, covering complex workflows in financial crime compliance. It automates key operational tasks in the payments domain and related areas, where quick, secure decision-making and compliance checks are crucial.
The integration potential with technologies such as Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Intelligent Document Processing (IDP), and AI allows Rabobank to build scalable, best-in-class automated solutions around the Camunda platform.
Achieving Operational Efficiency and Enhanced Customer Experience
Rabobank's adoption of Camunda has yielded significant benefits. Internal efficiency has improved due to reduced manual processing and fragmentation across compliance operations. The streamlined processes lead to quicker and more reliable service delivery, enhancing the customer experience.
Moreover, robust compliance and security are ensured with process orchestration, maintaining tight control over data and adherence to regulatory requirements.
Managing Risks and Ensuring Regulatory Compliance
While the focus is on improving internal efficiency and customer-facing workflows, the strategic role of Camunda's automation and process orchestration in managing risks and ensuring regulatory compliance in financial operations cannot be overlooked. This positions Camunda's Self-Managed platform as a key component in Rabobank's digital transformation journey around FEC and related domains.
Rabobank's FEC Operations
Rabobank's FEC operations encompass transaction monitoring, customer due diligence, real-time sanction screening, and more. The bank heavily relies on automation to manage the volume and complexity of these operations.
Before Camunda, Rabobank's FEC workflows were isolated across various platforms. However, with Camunda, these workflows are now connected through a single orchestration layer, which has resulted in a more cohesive and efficient FEC system.
In the last cycle, 25,000 sanction-related signals surfaced, resulting in 79 matches. Meanwhile, 56,000 signals were processed related to Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), flagging 1,609 customers. Additionally, 65,000 signals were tied to adverse information (adverse media, or AM), with 630 cases flagged.
Rabobank aims to achieve a modular, responsive, and transparent FEC platform that scales with its needs and stays ahead of financial crime. The bank processes over 4 billion transactions annually, making the need for an efficient and robust FEC system crucial.
