UBS has been ramping up their use of robots to help reduce manual processes; the bank started at 50 in 2016 and plans to reach about 1,000 by end of 2019; the robots will help to drive manual processes down by 10 percent in 2019 alone; the robots are focused on clearing and settlement, converting unstructured data and finding potential fraud issues in payments; “We need to make sure our people are focused on the most complicated problems, because that is what our clients expect,” UBS head of operations Chris Gelvin said to Business Insider.
