Single customer view and data integrity - QAS for Finance

QAS for Finance - Data integrity

Find out how a single view can help you comply with financial legislation, such as FSCS, and improve customer acquisition and retention strategies. Take a look at our SCV Guide to see how we can help you.

Resources for you

Experian QAS can help your financial organisation understand its contact data and achieve a single customer view. We can provide you with up-to-date FSA guidelines and information on data regulations.

The resources below can assist in developing your data strategy:


Increasing the value of your customer

Financial organisations need to increase the value derived from existing customers. Maintaining a single customer view and understanding your customers' needs will enable up and cross sell opportunities.

Customer retention

Strong competition between financial organisations such as mortgage lenders, banks and insurance firms mean points of differentiation are crucial. Using our expertise, organisations such as Lloyds TSB Insurance have achieved differentiation across customer touch points, marketing communications and business processes. One area of differentiation might be straight through processing (STP) which allows greatly shortened processing cycles, reduced settlement risk and lower operating costs.

Creating a single view of customers can also aid retention strategies, through cleaning (see data cleansing) and de-duping the records you already have or are merging across multiple databases.

Customer acquisition

To help bring new customers on board, the acquisition process must be quick and painless. Using QAS Pro and QAS Unify, collecting, validating, verifying and de-duping new customers is fast and accurate creating a positive experience and a single customer view.


Treating customers fairly

The TCF ("treating customer fairly") compliance was introduced by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in 2001 to:

  • raise contact data strategy standards
  • improve consumer confidence in the financial services industry
  • provide consumers with clear information
  • keep them informed before, during and after point of sale

Experian QAS can help you achieve best practice across your data processes meaning:

  • a single customer view
  • improved customer service
  • FSA compliant
  • Download our SCV Guide for advice and top tips on:
  • FSCS
  • The Data Protection Act
  • Royal Mail Licensing
  • Money Laundering Regulations 2007
  • Treating Customers Fairly

Comply with legislation & improve your business processes

Financial organisations must be compliant with financial regulatory bodies such as:

  • the FSA
  • Joint Money Laundering Steering Group Guidance (JMLSG)

In order to comply with the following initiatives:

  • Know Your Customer (KYC)
  • Anti-Money Laundering (AML)

Our electronic identity management solutions will ensure that you are compliant against industry regulations, help improve your business processes and help detect and prevent fraud.

Our solutions allow for real-time electronic verification of a person's identity, enabling you to prove that a customer is who they say they are, at the point of application.

Using biographical information compared against the most comprehensive list of data sources available, we can electronically verify an identity in seconds.

Keep data up to date

Each year, consumer data degrades by 13% and business data by 37%. Our data collection and cleaning tools allow you to manage your data in-house, without sending it off-site to a bureau, compromising security.

QAS Batch solves this problem by cleaning data so it is up to date.

QAS Batch with Suppression maintains data integrity by allowing you to suppress against datasets such as:

  • deceased
  • gonaways
  • do not contact

With our various datasets, you can also identify:

  • UK Electoral Register (the National Canvasse) with the enhanced names database
  • enhanced business data from Experian's National Business Database which contains over 2.79 million business information

International address data

As your business grows globally, the demands from your data management processes will change.

You can support this growth with international address data from 166 countries.
