Proof of Concept: Finance Agent Management for Digital Banking

From Reactive Support to Proactive Partnership: Elevating Customer Experience with Agentic AI and SAMA-Aligned Governance

Client Background

This Proof of Concept (PoC) profiles a representative Saudi Arabia-based digital retail bank serving 80,000–90,000 digitally native consumers. As a mobile-first institution aligned with Saudi Vision 2030, the bank operates under SAMA (Saudi Central Bank) regulations, delivering a modern alternative to traditional retail banking.

Business Challenge

Despite being digital-first, the bank’s engagement model remained reactive, leading to several operational and competitive friction points:

• Reactive Engagement: Interactions occurred only when customers faced issues, missing opportunities for deeper financial partnership.
• Human-Dependent Support: Routine tasks like transaction explanations and payment queries relied on manual teams, causing response delays during peak usage.
• The Scaling Trap: Growing the customer base required a linear increase in support staffing, threatening the bank’s digital-native unit economics.

The Solution

CodeNinja deployed a production-ready Finance Agent Management Framework integrated directly into the bank’s mobile application. Rather than a separate chatbot, this solution acts as an Embedded Intelligence Layer that understands individual customer context.

The system utilizes a Proactive Engagement Engine to initiate interactions based on real-time financial signals—such as detecting spending anomalies, upcoming subscription renewals, or cash flow optimization opportunities. This is governed by a Policy & Guardrail Engine to ensure every interaction remains compliant with SAMA consumer protection frameworks while providing context-rich handoffs to human agents for complex scenarios.

Measurable Outcomes

The 13–15 week deployment roadmap transforms the bank’s service model from a utility to an active financial partner:

• Instant Resolution for Routine Inquiries: Eliminates wait times for transaction explanations, payment status checks, and account inquiries.
• Decoupled Growth Economics: High-volume, routine interactions are handled autonomously, allowing the bank to scale its user base without proportional support hiring.
• Increased Engagement Frequency: Shifts the app from an "occasional utility" to a "daily partner" through proactive insights and personalized financial guidance.
• Strengthened Customer Retention: Reduces churn by matching the responsiveness and personalization of global fintech leaders.
