Automating authority signing with agentic AI for a fintech company

Ambition

A global fintech company wanted to modernise authority signing across the organisation. Employees working with contracts faced delays waiting for corporate legal teams to confirm the correct signatory level, creating bottlenecks and inconsistent decision-making. The goal was an intelligent solution that could determine signing authority based on contract type, value, risk and organisational delegation policies.

Solution

We designed and implemented an agentic AI orchestration solution combining authority-signing policies, enterprise workflows and AI-driven decision support into a single process. The solution integrated contract metadata, delegation rules, organisational hierarchies and policy logic to identify the appropriate signing authority for each agreement automatically.

Rather than relying on manual legal guidance, employees could retrieve validated signatory recommendations directly within the contract process. Governance, auditability and approval controls were embedded in the workflow.

Outcome
  • Reduced dependency on corporate legal teams for routine signing clarification and approval routing
  • Accelerated contract handling through faster signatory identification
  • Centralised authority-signing policies and decision logic across the organisation
  • Enabled scalable automation across enterprise workflows with maintained oversight and auditability
  • Created a foundation for broader agentic AI and workflow orchestration across legal and operational processes
