Mishaps such as crediting funds to the wrong person or a wrong account at large institutions like banks are some of the most significant risks of running a financial services firm.

The recent incident at UCO Bank, where Rs 820 crore was transferred erroneously, highlights the need for a robust ecosystem to avert such mishaps.
