For both strategic and regulatory reasons, financial institutions collect a lot of customer information. While most customer contact information is self-provided, inaccuracies are frequently introduced during capture due to human error. Incorrect, incomplete, or duplicate customer data can prevent your financial institution from providing an excellent customer experience and may even open the door for fraudulent activity or regulatory infractions.

Due to the variety of channels through which contact data enters financial institutions, monitoring the quality of such information can be a challenge. As more financial services companies move toward an omnichannel experience, online forms, mobile apps, call centers, and retail branches have all become sources of customer information, and each channel needs data quality solutions to ensure accurate customer information is being collected and maintained over time.
