When Mario was first launched in 1983 no one could have guessed that Nintendo’s plumber would end up becoming one of the most famous cartoon characters ever. But he has, and it is not due to his ability to flex his muscles, but his infinite avatars, steady evolutionary graph, and the creative ability of the franchise to be ahead of the times.
As the Super Mario Bros Movie sets new records at the box office – earning a massive $58.23 million in its third weekend of release, a shout out to all Financial Institutions and FinTech’s to ingrain Super Mario’s characteristics and topple the Minions (the disruptions) with smart work, intelligent processes, and a partner like Magic FinServ.
Here is how to be like Mario and out run the Minions.
# 1 Have a trusted and loyal ally
The reason Mario survives all the escapades is because he has allies. Princess Peach, his twin brother, and many others who help him in his multiple adventures.
DeepSightTM – the trusted ally for fintechs
FinTechs need allies as well. They need an ally that understands their specific needs and provides them with customized solutions. Whether it is the automation of long-winded, repetitive, and mundane tasks or streamlining processes and ensuring STP, or ensuring ROI on the new tool that they have purchased, or simply amplifying the customer experience, DeepSightTM can do all of that for fintechs. DeepSightTM AI Optimization framework integrates process workflows and utilizes structured and unstructured data to build tailored solutions that reduce the need for human intervention. This promotes upto 70% efficiency in Front & Middle office platforms & processes. It provides their legacy systems with a new lease of life by integrating with the existing workflows and architectures seamlessly and ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and productivity.
# 2 Adapting and overcoming obstacles with least possible resources:
The reason the Mario franchise has thrived all these years is simply because they have been extremely agile and adaptable. Mario always gets his girl- Princess Peach. He always manages to rescue her from the Browser making up new tools and overriding the obstacles with a new imaginative approach.
Magic FinServ’s winning deals: Helping fintechs adapt to changing times and customer preferences
Financial services have undergone a massive transformation in recent times. The need to provide an enriched customer experience in KYC is greater than before, however considering the flux that markets, fintechs must also measure the ROI when it comes to any new investment. In this catch 22 kind of situation, an AI and ML powered solution that can be planted and baked into existing applications to better it, while reducing the cost of ownership, and eliminating the overhead of paying for recurring subscriptions holds an edge over an off-the-shelf product. That solution is DeepSightTM
True digital transformation or modernization comes when organizations and processes are agile and adaptable to changing circumstances, because not everyone can build from scratch. Fortunately, fintechs have the advantage of a partner like Magic FinServ. Magic FinServ’s financial services solutions, like Mario’s trusted power-ups and tools, are built to scale and to be agile as per circumstances. We have a three-fold strategy for creating value, which begins with building a partnership – understanding the challenges, with the focus always on data management and technology, and pursuit of digital transformation.
#3 Evolve continuously and constantly! Only the fittest survive
The secret of the FinTechs success story is their ability embrace any disruption quicker than the rest and ensure faster, smoother, and richer engagement with the customer compared to the monoliths or the banks and legacy FIs. In 2023, as the businesses (capital and financial markets) demands greater levels of personalization and engagement, Magic FinServ assures that fintechs stay on top of the game, here’s how.

# 5 Customizing response to different environments
Lastly, in each of his journeys, Mario navigates through different worlds and environments, each with their own unique challenges and obstacles, by smartly adapting as per need and using resources that are readily available.
Magic FinServ: How our rules-based solution is an ideal solution for meeting compliance and regulatory needs for different jurisdiction
In the fintechs world, there is increasing pressure to confirm rules and regulations. When you are operating in multiple geographies this can be cumbersome, as each region has its own set of rules, timelines, disclosures, etc., related with KYC, shareholding disclosures, ESG disclosures, AML, etc., and violations are severely punished with fines and penalties.
We address the key requirements according to geographies with an AI and ML powered approach that takes the rules governing that data for the jurisdiction and updates their impact on the value of key information, thereby ensuring that critical information is up to date. Our unique “rule-driven” solution with Data Management, Document Record Management, AI, ML, API Integration, and Reporting and Dashboard are powered to ensure that funds and wealth managers are kept up to date with the latest developments.
