Here's how technology from the banking space can help telcos compete with aggressively competitive sales and retention tactics

At a time of rapid change, Turkish banks could use mathematical optimisation of credit strategies to navigate pricing challenges and spur growth

As telcos make the transition from on-premises to cloud-based platform solutions, they need to get maximum value from the data sets, information sources and insights available

Pre-screened, right-sized offers and the efficient use of ‘just-in-time’ data are helping telcos win, retain and safeguard more customers – regardless of age or credit profile

Automate the prescreen process and create personal and frequent campaigns

Azerbaijan's largest bank has started using FICO software to take an integrated approach to combating financial crime - money laundering and terrorist finance

Fraud and compliance must work together to put the customer at the heart of eKYC strategy

The availability of leaked documents such as the Paradise and Panama Papers provides an alternative source of data that can help identify suspicious organizations

To comply with tax regulations, it is a must for a bank to check customers against these lists to avoid non-compliance, a damaged reputation and the support of illegal activity.

The directives are clear for all EU entities, and the lack of compliance in the recent Baltics case has hurt the bank's share price and reputation.

Banks are really starting to take a more integrated approach to financial crime management, and our announcement today about First National Bank (FNB) of Lebanon is a case in point.

Clearly, we need other approaches to AML case management than hiring investigators. An increase in both effectiveness and efficiency of the overall compliance process is required.

Looking ahead to 2018, I predict a rising trend for organizations to do four things better than today in the realm of financial crime.
