Announcements from Accrual Retail, Capital, and Services. For interview requests or to verify that we are, in fact, a fictional bank, see the press contact at the bottom of this page.
The Services unit has completed the migration of its HR onboarding experience off a deprecated vendor API. The new pattern uses a resilient automation layer that falls back to UI automation when upstream APIs change, reducing new-hire time-to-productivity by 41 percent.
"We were tired of waking up to red pipelines whenever a vendor shipped a silent breaking change. The new pattern shrugs and keeps going." Marcus Keller, COO.
Accrual Capital has finished rolling out a case-based credit workflow across its SME and mid-market commercial lending books in APAC and EMEA. Average time-to-decision dropped from 11 business days to 2.9. The rollout touched 4,200 relationship bankers across 12 countries.
"Credit is not a straight line. It never was. We stopped pretending it was and the cycle time collapsed." James Okafor, VP Commercial Lending.
Platform Engineering has published an internal reference architecture for running agentic orchestration flows alongside the bank's existing Maestro BPMN estate. The pattern allows developer teams to build on the same product backbone using a newer, agent-native experience.
"Same product, new front door. That is the short version." Rohan Deshmukh, Head of Platform Engineering.
Net interest income up 8.2 percent year over year. Cost-to-income ratio at 41.3 percent. Board approved a modest dividend increase and named AI ROI a standing agenda item for 2026.
The bank has published its responsible AI principles, covering transparency, human oversight, data governance, and model risk. The full document will be available on our legal pages soon.
The flagship retail checking product passed 4 million active accounts, making it the fastest-growing checking product in the bank's history. Average balance per account: S$12,420.
The Automation COE marked a round number this quarter. The team celebrated with a cake shaped like a BPMN start event. No bots were harmed.
Lin Xu joins the executive team as CIO. She will lead platform strategy and oversee the continued modernization of the bank's workflow, data, and AI infrastructure.
For interview requests, commentary, or sincere questions about whether we are real: we are not. But we are fun at parties.
