Lump Sum Payments

Problem: Small Business Customers are not able to make lump sums of payments on their Loans via Internet Banking and mobile.

Descriptions:

• Online Lump sum payments are one of the features the SME hub bankers are most excited about. Currently for customers to be able to maintain their Business Loan (BF01) they need to make a call to the SME hub taking up both customers' time and bankers' time. Providing a way for customers to make lump sums on their business Loans via Internet Banking and mobile is the key objective.

Solution:

• Created and designed application and software testing processes.

• Monitored system and software functionality.

• Allow a customer to make an unscheduled (lump sum) loan repayment on 90-day (floating) loans.

• Real-time updates to account balance when a one-off payment is made.

• Display time saved by making a one-off payment.

• Customers who are floating can pay off their loans in full.

Responsibilities:

• Perform API Testing using Postman and SoapUI tools.

• Build API automation with Rest Assured Framework in Java language and used API stubbing (Wiremock).

• Used XPath and DOM to work with dynamic and static objects.

• Familiarity with integrating tests into Jenkins pipelines and in the open shift.

• Good working experience with applications deployed into OpenShift.

• Write UI automated test using Cypress (Javascript) to verify front-end functionality.

• Perform Stress testing using Jmeter.

• Participate in product, and feature design with developers, usability specialists, user interface designers, and product managers

• Work to reduce product bugs through better tooling, monitoring, and automation.

• Analyze requirements, develop test plan strategies, create and execute test cases, track defects.

• Help other teams succeed through easy-to-use tooling, monitoring, and automation that you create.

• Perform both manual and automation tests on API,web-based applications, and mobile. Monitor errors using Splunk.

• Designing early defect detection techniques.

Change Repayment

• Business loans are often so big and last such a long time that they can be very hard to visualize and engage with. This means that many customers just pay their minimum each fortnight and don't really understand how their actions impact their business loans. We intend to make some of this business loan information accessible so our customers will start to understand the impact making extra repayments (either one-off or regular) will have on the life of their business loan and the amount of interest they pay. We will also give them the tools to apply this new learning and make changes to their business loan online. This will potentially have a massive impact on their level of understanding and control of their business loan.

• Analyzed requirements, developed test plan strategies, created and executed test cases, and tracked defects.

• Collaborated with teams across engineering (development, QA, operations) to find automated ways to reduce the length of time to market for new features.

• Supported release and deployment calls to production.

• Continuous Integration Environment using Jenkins.

European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR)

Project Description:

• DTCC's cross-asset Global Trade Repository (GTR) will provide the industry with a central point of communication and storage for reporting Security-based Swaps (SBS) for all 5 asset classes of Credit, Equity, Rates, Commodities, and FX Derivatives.
