Session Description:

For financial institutions, the opening of a new customer account offers significant opportunities. If managed correctly, the resulting relationship could last for years, delivering long-term value to both parties. Getting the customer’s relationship started on the right foot is important because it sets the tone for future customer service experiences. While compliance with anti-money laundering and other account opening regulations are required, institutions must also ensure they enter into profitable relationships with legitimate and valid prospects while minimizing the impact of fraud.

Many institutions’ risk management strategies include leveraging the authentication process to set account privileges for new customers. Technology providers are facilitating these activities through the use of analytics to provide risk scores based on comparisons of information provided by the applicant with proprietary databases.

In this session, you will hear about the key issues driving technology investment in this area and how investments in technology and redesigned processes are being used to improve these critical functions that are vital to the health of your organization.

This session is appropriate for senior financial executives with responsibility for Retail Banking, Bank Technology, Customer Loyalty, Customer Acquisition, Marketing, and Strategy Groups.
