Key Findings & Highlights:
TCS started in M&L BPO services in 2002, with originations processing for Citibank. At that time Citibank wanted to expand lending in mortgages (both first and second mortgages), but did not want to invest in permanent originations processing capacity to support that line of business. By 2004, Citibank wanted to increase its value from the engagement beyond capacity to cost savings; to support that effort, TCS started delivering M&L BPO (in 2004) to support retail, commercial, and correspondent mortgage originations for first and second mortgages. By 2008, TCS had expanded its service delivery for M&L BPO outside of India, by acquiring onshore U.S. delivery capacity.
TCS M&L BPO delivers service from seven delivery centers:
- Mumbai
- Chennai
- Gandhinagar
- Kolkata
- Cincinnati
- Guadalajara
- Manila.
TCS' primary targets for M&L BPO are:
- Global retail banks headquartered in the U.S., Canada, India, Australia, and Europe
- Mortgage service providers in India, the U.S., and Europe
- Regional banks in the U.S., LATAM, Middle East, and Australia.
In future, TCS will continue to target global institutions, while expanding its targeting to lenders which are regional in scope. The current focus in M&L BPO is on default management, and originations.
TCS' strategy is to offer M&L BPO where it can provide re-engineering services to reduce costs and increase flexibility. This allows clients to:
- Address the challenges and costs of increased regulations
- Introduce new offerings to market or enter new markets
- Exit offerings and markets with little cost.
