Telecom compliance: The hidden deal breaker for BPOs in the Banking sector

Chasing growth in the Banking (BFSI) sector? For BPOs, proving robust compliance is often the line between winning the contract and missing out. And telecom compliance is no exception.

‍

The APAC challenge for expanding BPOs

Telecom regulation varies significantly across Asia-Pacific. From Australia to Singapore, each market operates with its own set of rules around data sovereignty, call recording, lawful intercept, number provisioning and local licensing.  

If you find global telecom compliance to be a headache, you’re not alone. Even established multi-national BPOs find it difficult.  

But when your Banking clients hang in the balance, it’s good to have a carrier partner that can navigate the compliance minefield.

The advantage of a regional telecom partner

The biggest stumbling block for BPOs is using a wholesale voice partner that runs afoul of local laws. This could mean that they use grey routes; or fail to pass-through called identity information; or simply don’t understand local requirements.

By partnering with a Tier 1 Carrier network that already has licensed presence across Asia-Pacific, BPOs gain immediate access to the compliance infrastructure needed in each market.

Regulatory reporting, lawful intercept readiness, numbering services and data-sovereign routing are already in place.  

Instead of piecing together requirements country by country, teams can scale with clarity and enter BFSI engagements far more efficiently.
