Description
As part of this project, I worked towards improvement of the STP rate of transaction processing for EMEA system. My piece of work involved enhancing cut-off processing to deliver 60% improvement in the way we handle cut-off related repairs today. SWIFT Standards 2018 and GPI – This project included implementation of Swift Standards and GPI guidelines for 2018. As a Test Manager, I helped enable all the EMEA branches of JPMC for GPI functionality with no impact on banks GPI compliance status. FTS to FX via MQ – This project involved migration of the existing batch mode of processing FX (Forex) transactions to online MQ process wherein transactional data would be sent and received in real-time.

This is part of wider Anti-Money Laundering (AML) initiative and enabled bank to comply with FATF regulations.

Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) - Payment Services Directive: The project PSD included redesigning of the existing Account Cancellation procedure to make it process compliant and more transparent to the customers. Mexican Enhancement: The project included splitting of buckets of the General Ledger file, AM6D, to split the penalty components from the normal fee components. This was required by the Finance department to track the penalties applied on a particular account. Slovak Selloff: GE Money Bank decided to sell off its business in Slovak Republic in the year 2008. In this project, our responsibility was to make the necessary changes in the system to remove Slovak related data from the all the files and different components of the VisionPLUS system. MIS Extracts for OK Premium Product Transfer: The bank decided to extend the functionality of Product Transfer (PT) for the extracts which are sent to third party, MIS. The requirement was to send data for the OK Premium cards with the new account number which is generated once product transfer is done in the system. Bene+ for Debit Cards: GE Money Bank wanted to introduce loyalty system for the Debit Cards for their Czech Republic business. This required changes in the existing setup of the loyalty programs. We introduced separate loyalty programs for the debit cards. The programs were set up in the system with appropriate parameters so that the debit cards were included in scope while calculating the loyalty points. Payment to Minimize Interest Functionality: This included providing Interest benefits to the Gem Visa customers who used their credit cards in certain merchant stores. If the customer makes a payment equal to a certain pre-decided amount, the interest on purchases done will be waived off if the payment is made within the expiration of the offer period. As a testing analyst, my role was to prepare a detailed test plan and test strategy to validate the changes done by the development team.
