Grasshopper Bank Cuts Due Diligence Time by 70% with Greenlite AI

Grasshopper Bank uses Greenlite's generative AI platform to gain operational efficiency while raising the bar on customer due diligence.

Introduction

Grasshopper Bank, a federally regulated bank catering to the innovation sector, faced the challenge of maintaining thorough due diligence amidst rapid client growth. To uphold their high compliance standards without compromising growth, they adopted Greenlite’s Diligence AI. This generative AI solution streamlined enhanced due diligence process (EDD) by automating in-depth reviews of business activities, customer documentation, and transaction histories.

The adoption of Diligence AI led to a 70% reduction in the time needed for enhanced due diligence, enabling the bank to scale its client intake without diluting due diligence quality. It bolstered compliance standards, ensuring Grasshopper Bank's adherence to regulatory requirements.

Chris Mastrangelo, Chief Compliance Officer of Grasshopper Bank, highlighted the AI's impact in allowing the compliance team to focus on nuanced risk assessments, significantly enhancing operational efficiency and compliance insight.
