The financial services industry faces a critical “capacity gap,” with AutoRek’s 2025 research revealing that 79% of asset management and capital markets firms struggle to manage growing data volumes, compounded by a projected 39% annual surge in transaction volumes. Additionally, 90% of organizations still rely on error-prone spreadsheets for critical operations, increasing risks and compliance challenges. “The surge in transaction volumes and data hasn’t just created a gap in what the human professional can handle—it’s a chasm,” said Chris Livesey, CEO of AutoRek. “AutoRek ARIA doesn't just automate processes – it creates intelligent systems that reason, learn, and adapt while maintaining the control and compliance frameworks our clients expect.”
Unlike traditional robotic process automation (RPA), which relies on rigid rules, AutoRek ARIA leverages AI to analyze patterns, recognize complex contexts, and provide actionable insights. “We're witnessing a fundamental shift in financial operations – the point where human effort and rules driven software are no longer sufficient to move money, reconcile breaks, and satisfy regulators fast enough,” said Jim Sadler, Chief Product, Technology and Operations Officer at AutoRek. The platform enables predictive, scalable workflows that reduce operational overhead without sacrificing control.
AutoRek ARIA offers advanced features to enhance reconciliation processes:
Dynamic Learning: Continuously improves matching accuracy by learning from reconciliation patterns.
Intelligent Exception Management: Proactively triages and resolves breaks with sophisticated escalation protocols.
Real-Time Coworking: Provides contextual guidance and side-by-side support for users.
Assisted Solution Development: Helps build automated reconciliation solutions by analyzing data feeds.
AutoRek ARIA addresses unique challenges across financial services:
Capital Markets: Supports T+1 settlement and 24-hour trading by eliminating spreadsheet reliance and reducing reconciliation times while maintaining audit trails.
Payments: Enhances monitoring and compliance with emerging FCA safeguarding regulations effective in 2025.
Insurance: Accelerates settlement processes, reducing typical 56-day B2B settlement periods with improved transparency.
Built within the AutoRek platform and leveraging Microsoft Azure, ARIA integrates seamlessly with existing systems, ensuring compliance and scalability. It will be available as an add-on to AutoRek v6.18 and Mion v1.2, enabling firms to adopt intelligent automation without disrupting operations.
