Financial Services

Banks, insurers, lenders, and wealth managers process high volumes of regulated documents under strict verification, residency, and audit requirements. Staple structures and verifies those documents with the trust layer regulated institutions demand, so onboarding, credit, and reconciliation move faster without loosening control. The difference for a financial institution is not only accuracy, it is that every document-derived value arrives with the evidence a regulator will ask for.

The Regulatory Barrier

Across the region, supervisors increasingly expect explainable governance on every decision derived from a document, not just a correct answer. Singapore's MAS Notice 626, Hong Kong's HKMA AML and CFT guidance, Indonesia's OJK POJK 12/2017, and the Philippines' BSP rules all point the same way, and ISO 42001, the AI management-systems standard, formalizes the explainability expectation. A tool that produces a value without provenance leaves an institution exposed precisely where scrutiny is highest, which is why Staple records the reasoning behind each value rather than only the value.

Built For The Documents Regulators Actually Scrutinize

Western document-processing tools approximate on Asian-language financial documents, and those are exactly the files a regional supervisor examines. Staple's extraction models are trained on APAC financial document formats and read native Asian scripts and handwriting directly, reaching 99.6 percent accuracy where Latin-script language packs fall down. Coverage spans more than 300 languages, so a branch in any market runs on the same engine rather than a bolt-on translation step that loses fidelity.

KYC And Onboarding

Staple reads proof of address, bank statements, utility bills, and identity documents in any layout and more than 300 languages, and separates values it extracted from values it inferred, so a reviewer never mistakes a judgment for a fact. Cross-document matching flags a mismatch between an identity document and a proof of address on one screen rather than across three disconnected checks. See KYC and Identity Verification.

Lending And Credit

For credit and lending, Staple structures bank statements and credit reports and powers Lending Document Verification and Credit Assessment Support, extracting the figures an analyst needs, with the confidence and source behind each one, without making the decision for them.

Matching And Reconciliation Across Documents

Financial workflows rarely hinge on a single document. Staple matches values across the related files in a case, an invoice against a purchase order and a goods receipt, or an identity document against a proof of address and an account record, and surfaces every discrepancy in one reviewer view rather than as separate alerts a person has to correlate. Tolerances absorb rounding and timing noise, and each exception is labeled with the line, the source, and the rule that broke, so an analyst spends time on the genuine mismatches instead of hunting for them. See Cross-Source Reconciliation.

Instant Audit Evidence

The cost most institutions underestimate is audit reconstruction. When tools produce data without provenance, assembling the trail behind a decision can take three to five days per request. Staple inverts that: every value carries a per-field audit trail recording source, model version, and reviewer, so answering an examiner becomes a query measured in seconds. For data that leaves the platform, Metastructured Data embeds a cryptographically signed proof into every field, so the evidence is instant and satisfies the explainability that ISO 42001 requires. The Trust Layer keeps versioned models and rules, so a result is explained against the logic in force when it was produced.

SAP Concur And Data Residency

For expense and invoice flows, Staple integrates with SAP Concur, including a dedicated China instance for data residency, and can retrieve travel and eFapiao data, validate against the China State Tax Administration, and post validated data and images back into Concur without middleware. Residency is enforced at the egress boundary across regional environments in Singapore, the EU, the US, and China, so data is processed and held where the jurisdiction requires rather than left to a configuration flag.

What Staple Does Not Do

Staple verifies and structures the documents behind onboarding, lending, and claims. It does not make the credit, underwriting, or coverage decision, and it does not perform biometric identity proofing. It gives your teams clean, evidenced data to decide on, and the record to defend the decision later.

Proven In Production

One financial-services deployment eliminated more than 450 employee hours a month spent processing multilingual financial documents, saving over 270,000 dollars a year, and Staple was a top-19 finalist in the Monetary Authority of Singapore's Global FinTech Challenge. A global investment bank running back and middle office processing across five countries integrated via API and SSO, reconciled quantities and values in real time, and reached 99.6 percent accuracy while eliminating more than 800 document templates.
