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
Royal
Sun Alliance and 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.
Customer acquisition
To help bring new customers on board, the acquisition process must be
quick and painless. Using
QAS
Pro, collecting, validating and verifying 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
-
The Data Protection Act
-
Royal Mail Licensing
-
Money Laundering Regulations 2007

Treating Customers Fairly
Verify your customers
Identity theft is estimated to cost the economy over £1.5 billion a
year. Financial organisations must therefore verify the identity of
existing and prospect customers.
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)
Organisations must move away from paper-based approaches when
conducting credit checks for example, which are costly and open to
fraud.
The huge increase in credit card transactions

and applications

means it is vital to establish the authenticity of a person's
identity, to recognise whether they are a high risk individual likely
to commit fraud.
Authentication
solutions from Experian allow 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

address data from 166 countries.
