Bank of Montreal (BMO) has implemented a new payment analytics, intelligent automation and straight-through processing (STP) solution developed by AI technology solutions provider Pelican.

Dubbed Pelican Intelligent Financial Hub – STP, the new solution will offer enhanced infrastructure and operational payment capabilities to bank and its customers.

BMO’s customers will now benefit from higher STP rates enabling payments to be processed more quickly and reach beneficiary accounts faster, Pelican said.

Pelican founder and CEO Parth Desai said: “With the ever-increasing processing volumes and innovation in payments, banks need the right mix of technology to offer advanced and intelligent payment processing, as well as innovative solutions to improve their unique capabilities.

“BMO made the right decision for its customers by choosing to invest in its core payment infrastructure. The benefits will be seen for years to come.”

Pelican was selected BMO as a part of its North American payment modernisation initiative which also looks to shift payment industry to high-value payments.
