The Current Landscape and Challenges
Traditionally, CDN solutions are designed to accelerate the delivery of static content like images and videos for websites. While this is valuable, the FinTech industry has a different set of challenges. Banks and insurance companies deal with a high volume of dynamic, often sensitive files, requiring secure and rapid transfer. Traditional network infrastructure can struggle with these large file sizes and the frequency of transfers, leading to:
Slow Processing Times
Large files can take considerable time to upload and download, delaying critical processes like account opening or claims processing.
Network Congestion
The sheer volume of file transfers can clog network bandwidth, impacting overall system performance and slowing down other essential operations.
Security Risks
Sensitive financial data requires robust protection. Traditional transfer methods may not offer the necessary level of encryption and security, leaving data vulnerable to breaches.
Compliance Requirements
Financial institutions must adhere to strict regulatory requirements regarding data security and privacy. This adds another layer of complexity to file transfers.
Scalability Issues
As businesses grow and transaction volumes increase, existing infrastructure may struggle to keep pace, leading to performance bottlenecks.
This is where our CDN solution transforms the landscape, offering a smarter, faster, and more secure way to handle content delivery.
How Sybrin Addresses These Challenges
Our CDN solution is built on the robust foundation of the Sybrin Platform, it offers a comprehensive package that seamlessly integrates with existing systems. Designed to optimise the movement of critical files with speed, security, and efficiency, it acts as a smart intermediary between users and the central content repository, ensuring seamless and secure file delivery, including large documents and images, crucial for processes like customer onboarding, cheque capture, and claims processing.
Accelerating File Transfers with Smart Caching
Our solution introduces multiple caching nodes that store frequently accessed files closer to users. This reduces the need to retrieve files from a central repository repeatedly, significantly improving load times and minimising bandwidth usage. The workflow follows these steps.
A user’s device first checks the nearest cache server for the requested file.
If unavailable, the request moves to the next closest node.
If necessary, the request reaches the primary content repository.
Once retrieved, the file is cached at each node for future rapid access.
Enhancing Cheque Capture and Processing
With our CDN solution, scanned cheque images are compressed and transmitted faster, enabling financial institutions to reduce cheque clearing times while ensuring compliance with digital banking regulations.
Streamlining Case Management in Banking and Insurance
Case files in banking and insurance involve heavy documentation, including contracts, legal documents, and customer correspondence. Our solution ensures that case managers can retrieve critical files instantly, improving workflow efficiency and customer response times.
Optimising Claims Processing for Insurance Firms
Insurance companies handle vast amounts of claim-related documents, from policyholder information to damage assessments. With our CDN solution, these files are transferred and retrieved at lightning speed, reducing claim settlement times and enhancing customer satisfaction.
Key Features and Benefits
Accelerated Data Delivery
By caching frequently accessed files closer to users, our CDN solution drastically reduces download and upload times, improving the efficiency of critical processes.
Enhanced Security
Robust encryption protects sensitive financial data from unauthorised access. It supports symmetric, asymmetric, and hybrid encryption methods, providing flexibility and ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
Optimised File Sizes
Image-heavy files are optimised by reducing their size without compromising quality or functionality. This minimises network strain and further accelerates transfer speeds.
Reduced Network Load
By distributing files across multiple caching nodes, it reduces the load on the central server and network infrastructure, preventing congestion and improving overall system performance.
Improved Scalability
The distributed architecture of the solution allows financial institutions to easily scale their file transfer capabilities as their business grows.
Seamless Integration
Because it's built on the Sybrin Platform, it integrates seamlessly with other Sybrin offerings, simplifying deployment and support.
