Testimonials

“A Job Well Done”
Carretek from a Client’s Perspective

2005, Carretek worked with a large US-based financial institution to help it transfer selected back office check processing functions to Carretek’s offshore outsourcing facility in Mumbai, India.  Choosing an offshore outsourcing partner was no small decision, as the bank wanted to ensure, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that security, quality and customer service would never be compromised in the name of cost savings. 

Today, this offshoring partnership has gone from concept to quantified success, with overall savings for 35-50 percent and efficiency gains that will offer additional, long-term expense control.  As important as “Cheaper”, the offshored functions are also becoming “Better” and “Faster,” with reports of 98-100 percent accuracy, fraud detection and the ability of the offshore team to meet or beat the bank’s production targets despite a natural disaster. 

The following testimonials were gleaned from Carretek’s daily correspondence with its client regarding performance at the Carretek Operations Center in Mumbai, India.

“Today, one of your staff inquired about an unusual situation in which there were many PNIs showing on Exceptions Express, but research into ARIN revealed the same number as a Paid.  Bringing this to our attention allowed us to find and correct the error and avoid impacting an important customer of the Bank - thank you for your identification and communication of this event. Excellent Job!”

Managing the client’s risk

Your staff has demonstrated their commitment to getting the job done under very difficult circumstances, and this effort has not gone unnoticed by the upper management of the bank.”

To the Carretek team:

Thanks to all for your help in preventing today's systems' issues from delaying production.  In the face of a possible crisis, your team rose to the challenge and completed all of our work on time.”

“The Exceptions Processing is on 100 percent accuracy for the past month, an outstanding achievement.  In addition, the Carretek team at our offshore facility recently stopped an exception item with a missing image, and found that the item had ‘0000000000’ in the serial number field.  The item turned out to be fraudulent and was returned.  Congratulations, Carretek…Good Catch!”
