Many financial institutions adopt automation to reduce costs, but over time, the opposite can happen. What starts as a simple solution turns into a complex system that is expensive to maintain.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"570\" data-end=\"884\">This is known as technical debt in finance automation. While RPA delivers quick wins, it often creates hidden costs that are not visible at the start.
