SurFIN®: Foreign Remittance Processing Workflow Solution

SurFIN is a smart workflow solution designed for financial institutions, simplifying the entire foreign remittance journey—from initial customer request to final transaction—through automated MX message generation.
The system reduces administrative burden, especially for anti-money laundering (AML) checks, by managing all remittance data digitally. It can be seamlessly integrated with core banking systems to enable precise control over debit and credit instructions.

An optional service called “Ouchide-SurFIN" (Home-Use SurFIN), allows customers to submit remittance requests and schedule visits to the branch from their personal devices. This enables faster in-branch processing and significantly reduces workload for branch staff. It replaces handwritten forms with a browser-based interface, allowing customers to input remittance details directly and enabling efficient digital processing.
