LLM Cost Optimisation for Banking
LLM Cost Optimisation for banking, built around the constraint that defines the sector: core banking systems are not to be touched, so everything integrates around them.
- Regulations in scope
- 4
- Systems we integrate
- 5
- Typical first release
- 6 weeks
What changes when it is banking
Orqent Labs audits AI spend and typically removes 40 to 70% of it with no measurable quality loss, and we show the benchmark both ways.
In banking, core banking systems are not to be touched, so everything integrates around them. That single fact reshapes how llm cost optimisation has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.
The workload we are most often asked to take on first is customer service automation, usually integrated against Flexcube. We build the smallest thing that proves the case, put it in front of real users, and expand only what earns its keep.
Multi-model by default, so a provider outage is a routing decision rather than an incident. You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.
The sector constraints we design around
- Defining constraint
- core banking systems are not to be touched, so everything integrates around them
- Regulations in scope
- RBI master directions · PMLA and AML · DPDP Act 2023 · cybersecurity framework for banks
- Systems of record
- Finacle · Flexcube · core banking platforms · CRM · loan management systems
- Where we usually start
- account opening documentation
LLM Cost Optimisation workloads in banking
- account opening documentation
- AML alert triage
- customer service automation
- loan file assembly
- branch reporting
What is included
- Spend audit broken down by feature and by call
- Model routing so each task uses the cheapest adequate model
- Semantic caching for repeated and near-identical queries
- Prompt compression that preserves meaning
- Budget ceilings and anomaly alerts
- Quality benchmarked before and after, so savings are not silent regressions
Questions from this sector
Will this touch our core banking system?
No. We integrate through supported interfaces and read replicas, never by modifying the core.
How do you handle AML false positives?
Context enrichment and tuned scoring so alert volume matches investigator capacity, with every decision explainable in a case file.
How much can we realistically save?
Most unoptimised systems have 40 to 70% of avoidable spend, concentrated in a few features. The audit tells you the specific number for your workload before you commit to any work.
Will quality drop?
We benchmark before and after on your real tasks. Any change that measurably degrades output does not ship. That is the whole discipline.
How long does the audit take?
About a week for most systems, and it usually pays for itself in the first month after the changes land.
