3:20 PM Case Study: The Transparent Branch – Streamlining Operations with Real-Time Visibility

Branches play a critical role in delivering trust, service, and community—but behind the scenes, many institutions struggle with outdated processes, manual audits, and limited visibility into daily operations. In this case study, Katelyn Lau of VaultRight explores how leading banks and credit unions are creating branches that operate smarter, faster, and more securely with the help of real-time operational visibility. Katelyn will walk through real-world strategies that resulted in increased compliance, reduced operational burden, and greater tracking and accountability. This session will showcase: 

  • Replacing outdated tracking methods with digital, real-time solutions 
  • Streamlining daily processes to reduce frontline burden 
  • Gaining visibility into operational trends and risk signals 
  • Creating a culture of accountability and operational transparency
