Managing financial risk poses a significant challenge for many organizations. This challenge is perhaps even greater for financial institutions and other businesses that deal with highly sensitive personal information. It also raises many questions.
How can you best manage exposure to risk? What guidelines should you put in place to mitigate fraud threats? How can you stay compliant with consumer privacy regulations?
Risk management in business is a very broad area, divided according to specializations or categories of risks involved. Financial risk management is one of them. Financial risk management is the response or plan of action that an organization will implement to address the financial risks it is facing, and is likely to face in the future.
Experian® can help answer these questions and offers several products designed to address financial risk.
Authenticate customers’ identity
Detecting fraud in its early stages requires strong identity authentication technology. By proactively verifying customer identity, you can minimize application fraud and its associated costs. You also can flag valid but high-risk accounts to make sure they are treated appropriately. Experian’s Precise IDSM mitigates risk by providing valuable insight into an individual’s identity. You can leverage this insight to identify new credible customers, protect existing customers and meet regulatory obligations.
Monitor your customer portfolio
Evaluate and mitigate risk by monitoring your account portfolio. By viewing changes to customer profiles when they happen, you can take immediate action. Experian’s Account Monitoring ServiceSM detects negative trends, allowing you to minimize delinquency, bad debt and losses.
