The Problem Banks Face Today

The Regulatory Notice Burden Is Outpacing Every Manual Process

Banks across AP+ME are receiving more regulatory notices — across more jurisdictions, formats, and languages — than their operations teams can handle at safe SLA compliance rates.

March 31 2026
AUSTRAC AML/CTF Reform — Australia
The biggest AML compliance overhaul in 20 years. Automated processing of notices is no longer optional — it is the expected operating model. First-mover window: 12 months.
July 2025
APRA CPS 230 — Operational Resilience
Operational risk regime demands documented, measurable response timelines on regulatory and legal notices. Manual workflows cannot produce the required audit evidence.
Live Now
CBUAE Federal Decree No. 6 — UAE
Fines of up to AED 1 billion now active. AED 370M+ already imposed in the UAE. 7 emirate court jurisdictions, each with different formats and escalation paths, processed manually.
2024–2025
POJK 12/2024 & OJK Enforcement — Indonesia
New AML framework creating 4-agency notice complexity across OJK, PPATK, National Police, and Courts. Zero shared routing infrastructure. Manual SLA compliance is impossible at scale.
"Compliance costs in Asia-Pacific financial institutions have grown 3× faster than revenue since 2019 — and the primary driver is notice and regulatory response workflows that have not been modernised."

The LEANM Solution

One Platform. Two Integrated Modules.

LEANM combines active notice operations with a continuous intelligence layer — two modules that work together so banks never miss a deadline and never lose sight of what's coming next.

Module 1
Notice Operations

End-to-end workflow automation: classify → route → draft → CBS action. Each step logged, explainable, and auditable. Response time drops from days to minutes — with a full audit trail that satisfies any regulator, in any market.

1

Ingest

20+ regulatory portals. Email. Court systems. PDFs. APIs. Any format, any language, any jurisdiction — unified inbox.

20+
Portals monitored
2

Classify

AI classifies notice type, urgency tier, responsible team, and SLA deadline in seconds. Zero manual triage.

<4 min
Full classification
3

Route

Automated routing to the correct team, CBS system, and escalation path. Jurisdiction-aware. CBS-native.

100%
Correct routing
4

Draft & Benchmark

AI drafts the compliance response. Benchmarks against peer SLAs. Approval gate before any action.

72 hrs
SLA met every time
5

Act & Report

CBS action triggered directly: account freeze, garnishee, funds transfer. Full audit trail, regulator-ready in one click.

Fines since go-live
Module 2
Notice Intelligence

Notice Intelligence turns compliance cost into competitive advantage. It monitors all regulatory portals continuously, tracks the notice patterns your peers are receiving, and delivers actionable intelligence — so your board and ops team always know what's coming before it arrives.

🔭

Watchlist

Monitors 20+ regulatory portals continuously. Detects new notice types and enforcement patterns before they hit your inbox. Country-specific coverage across every AP+ME regulator.

20+
Regulators tracked

Addressing Every Bank's AI Adoption Risk

Banks Move Slowly on AI for Good Reason. We Built the Architecture Around That.

Every concern a CTO, CCO, or risk committee raises — we have answered it before it was asked.

Zero Egress
Concern: Data Sovereignty
Customer data cannot leave our technology perimeter.
Bank-Grade VPC: Docker container deploys inside the bank's own cloud (Azure UAE, AWS AP, on-prem). Zero data egress. Local inference engine. Passes data residency requirements in every AP+ME market.
Full Audit Trail
Concern: Regulatory Explainability
"The AI did it" is not accepted under CBUAE or AUSTRAC.
Full decision log: every classification, routing decision, and draft action — timestamped and explainable. Single-click regulator report. ISO-aligned audit trail. No black boxes.
Pre-Built Connectors
Concern: Integration Risk
We've had 18-month integration projects fail on CBS connectivity.
Pre-built, tested connectors for Finacle, Temenos T24, and Oracle FLEXCUBE — the CBS systems covering 85%+ of target AP+ME institutions. Day 1 CBS connectivity, not Month 18.
30-Day Value
Concern: Time-to-Value
AI pilots at our bank take 12–18 months to reach production.
LEANM goes from pilot to production in 30 days. Standard deployment playbook. Finacle and T24 connectors are pre-validated. Crayon's Catalyst service guarantees production in weeks, not quarters.
Model Agnostic
Concern: AI Model Lock-in
We don't want to be locked into one LLM vendor.
LEANM is model-agnostic. Works with GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, or the bank's own on-prem LLM. If a better or cheaper model emerges, swap it in — no reintegration, no retraining.
Proven Platform
Concern: Vendor Track Record
Can a startup really support a tier-1 bank's compliance ops?
Crayon Data has operated AI systems at HDFC Bank for 8+ years across 70M+ customers, and at ADIB with 100+ AI use cases in production. LEANM runs on that same production infrastructure.
Any Bank Stack

Works with Any Bank Stack — Including the Bank's Own AI

LEANM plugs into what the bank already has. No rip-and-replace. No proprietary lock-in. CBS-to-cloud neutral.

Partnership Ask

The McKinsey Partnership Ask

Three specific asks · Clear McKinsey value on each · A joint narrative McKinsey can own and publish

McKinsey published "Agentic AI is redefining banking operations" (2025). LEANM is the first production-grade deployment of that thesis in Asia-Pacific and Middle East compliance workflows.
01

Client Introductions

The Ask

Warm introductions to McKinsey FS practice clients in UAE (FAB, Emirates NBD), Australia (CBA, NAB, ANZ, Westpac), Indonesia (BCA, BRI, Mandiri), Japan (MUFG, SMBC, Mizuho via kAIgentic), and India (HDFC, SBI pipeline).

McKinsey Value

McKinsey validates LEANM at the CXO level — converting a 6-month sales cycle to 6 weeks. McKinsey receives placement advisory credit. No cost to McKinsey.

Target: Q2 2026 — Wave 1 markets
02

Co-GTM & Thought Leadership

The Ask

Joint McKinsey–Crayon publication: "Agentic AI for AP+ME Banking Compliance" — co-authored perspective featuring LEANM as the first live AP+ME deployment case study. Shared at McKinsey FS events.

McKinsey Value

McKinsey's FS practice is positioned as the region's leading advisor on the most deployment-ready AI use case in banking compliance in 2026.

Target: Q3 2026 — aligned to Wave 2 launch
03

Transformation Playbook Embedding

The Ask

Include LEANM AI in McKinsey's compliance transformation playbooks for AP+ME FS engagements. Co-sell LEANM as the operational AI layer alongside McKinsey strategy consulting.

McKinsey Value

Creates a recurring, McKinsey-sourced enterprise deal pipeline. Revenue share arrangement on McKinsey-originated LEANM contracts. Deepens McKinsey's AI-native toolkit for AP+ME.

Target: Ongoing from H2 2026
NEXT STEPS

McKinsey + Crayon / Tangram

The Agentic AI Partnership for AP+ME Financial Services Compliance

Let's start with one introduction in Wave 1

🎯

McKinsey has the relationships

CXO access at every target bank in UAE, Australia, Japan, Indonesia, and India. LEANM has the product, the production proof, and the regulatory precision.

🚀

The window is now — not 2027

AUSTRAC March 2026. CBUAE law live. POJK Indonesia. FSA Japan AI paper. This is a 12-month first-mover window that won't repeat itself.

📊

Proven thesis meets live product

McKinsey published the agentic AI banking thesis. LEANM is the live deployment — at HDFC and ADIB — today. A joint case study is the most powerful go-to-market tool either party has.

💰

Mutual, structured upside
