2 min — per sanctions check × 500 clients = 1,000 minutes per cycle

66+ hrs per year (4 cycles) wasted on sanctions screening for every client

98% reduction in screening time with Agentic AI

The Problem

Insurance companies in T&T face a mandatory, continuous compliance burden from the CBTT's AML/CFT Guideline — while simultaneously losing clients to slow claims processing and policy renewal delays.

The Three Biggest Bottlenecks

1. Sanctions Screening for Every Client

CBTT's AML/CFT Guideline mandates screening every policyholder against CBTT, UN, and OFAC lists at onboarding and at each policy renewal. At 2 minutes per client, 500 clients = 1,000 minutes per cycle.

Time wasted: 66+ hrs per year (4 cycles) | Estimated annual cost: TTD $6,600+ annually

2. Claims Triage & Document Management

Claims adjusters manually sort, categorise, and route incoming claims documents — a process that takes up to 4 hours per claim before any actual assessment begins.

Time wasted: 4 hrs per claim | Estimated annual cost: TTD $199,000+ annually

3. Policy Renewal Processing

Agents manually pull client records, check coverage history, generate renewal quotes, and send communications — consuming 30% of agent working time.

Time wasted: 45 min per client renewal | Estimated annual cost: TTD $71,600+ annually

What Agentic AI Changes
