MDM for banking

Master data management for trusted banking decisions

Banks need trusted customer, account, product, householding and risk data across core banking, digital channels, servicing platforms, compliance systems and analytics platforms. PDI helps build the MDM foundation to reduce duplication, improve governance and support faster, safer decision-making.

Banking data challenges

Where banking master data breaks down

Banking data often spans legacy cores, online banking, risk systems, regulatory reporting, customer service and analytics platforms.

👤

Fragmented customer identity

Customer records differ across core banking, digital banking, servicing and analytics platforms, making it difficult to create a trusted customer view.

🏠

Householding complexity

Relationships across customers, accounts, businesses and households are hard to maintain without governed matching and survivorship rules.

Risk and compliance exposure

Incomplete or inconsistent customer, account and product data can affect KYC, AML support, reporting and risk analytics.

📊

Untrusted analytics

Conflicting customer and product definitions undermine dashboards, segmentation, personalization and executive reporting.
