Canadian Bank Automates Bilingual PDF Validation with GenAI
At a glance -
the essentials
Tier-1 Canadian Bank
- A Tier-1 Canadian Bank faced a critical bottleneck in its Core Banking & Payments Portfolio: the manual validation of 600+ bilingual (English/French) print forms. Frequent specification changes caused validation cycles to stretch into months, severely slowing release pipelines and straining QA teams with repetitive, error-prone work.
Kumaran developed a custom GenAI-powered validation engine to automate the entire PDF QA lifecycle. The solution leveraged Generative AI to interpret evolving Print Specifications and auto-generate bilingual test cases, integrated custom Machine Learning models for PDF data and metadata extraction, and provided a Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) UI for rapid rule refinement. Automated execution delivered instant, detailed discrepancy reporting with full traceability via Excel exports.
- 80% acceleration of the QA lifecycle
- Validation timelines reduced from months to days
- 100% automated coverage for delta (incremental) changes
- Full bilingual support across English and French forms
- Eliminated human fatigue in high-volume content verification
From manual bottleneck to automated precision
A Tier-1 Canadian Bank partnered with Kumaran to transform its legacy PDF validation process, achieving an 80% acceleration in QA cycles and reducing validation timelines from months to days. What appears as a single headline metric is the result of a focused engagement spanning AI engineering, ML model development, and change management. For this bank, the goal was never automation for its own sake - it was the ability to release faster, maintain compliance with evolving print standards, and eliminate a chronic bottleneck in their Core Banking & Payments release pipeline.
The Background
Like many large financial institutions, the bank had accumulated a library of 600+ print forms developed over years. With print specifications evolving frequently and bilingual compliance requirements in both English and French, manual validation had become unsustainable. Each release cycle required teams to comb through hundreds of forms for pixel-perfect accuracy - a process that took months and was highly susceptible to human error and fatigue. The need was clear: deliver a measurable improvement in speed and accuracy without disrupting ongoing operations.
