As regulatory deadlines intensify and data volumes surge, Duco is equipping financial institutions with intelligent, streamlined automation solutions. At Sibos, the company unveiled three key innovations: the Agentic Rule Builder for effortless rule creation, enhanced AI-Native Data Prep for resilient ingestion, and T+0 Assurance Controls for real-time settlement readiness in the UK and EU.
Duco’s Agentic Rule Builder advances no-code capabilities beyond traditional systems, which often demand extensive training for complex data and processes. Users can now describe desired actions and outcomes in plain English, prompting the tool to map a plan, generate NRL rules, validate them, and display for review. This ensures full transparency while accelerating development, with early client feedback indicating halved rule-creation times and 60-75% faster automation deployment, ultimately shortening time to market for financial workflows.
Extending its Adaptive Intelligent Document Processing (AIDP), which extracts data from PDFs, images, Word files, and emails, Duco's enhanced AI-Native Data Prep incorporates contextual learning for superior resiliency over conventional parsing methods. By adding flexible ingestion, low-training extraction, and seamless Agentic Rule Builder integration, the solution automates more processes with greater precision than OCR, IDP tools, or standalone LLMs. Fully embedded in the Duco platform, it minimizes reliance on disparate technologies, boosting straight-through processing and accuracy in handling unstructured financial data.
In response to the T+1 settlement transition's demands, Duco's T+0 Assurance Controls offer the market's first cloud-native, AI-native, no-code solution for UK and EU clients, building on 2024 North American implementations. These tools facilitate intra-day reconciliations and exception management, countering evidence that headcount increases—up to 18% in some cases—fail to reduce fail rates significantly. With over 80% reductions in post-trade processing times, the controls promote scalable models where manual interventions become obsolete, ensuring firms meet compressed timelines without operational bloat.
“AI-powered automation is moving beyond task support to shape how businesses operate,” said Justin Hingorani, Managing Director, AI and Data Prep. “This evolution is not just about speed or efficiency. It is about empowering organisations to respond to client needs and market challenges with agility and confidence. Intelligent automation and industry know-how turn complex post-trade processes into simple, transparent workflows. OCR and IDP were built for static formats. They break the moment data shifts. Our AI-native approach adapts in real time, making it the only sustainable path forward.”
“The move to T+1 settlement is one of the most significant operational shifts our industry has faced in decades,” said Steve Walsh, Managing Director, Reconciliation. “We’re using critical lessons from North America to ensure the transition in Europe does not require additional headcount. Instead by cutting reconciliation time, firms also create a scalable, future-proof operating model for post-trade processing.”
James Maxfield, Chief Product Officer at Duco, said: “We are moving into an era where automation is not just faster or easier, but smarter and adaptive. Today, our AI agents support rule creation and reconciliation. Soon, they’ll help with anomaly detection, exception management and orchestration of entire processes – always with human oversight where clients need it. This is how firms can build resilience, cut complexity and stay ahead of compressed regulatory deadlines.”
