FFIEC Guidelines Consulting Review Services by Experian

FFIEC Guidelines Consulting Review

Our goal is to provide specific recommendations to modify existing processes in order to close the gap between current processes and the FFIEC’s expectations. Our consultants work with clients to assess current strategies, workflow design and operational effectiveness. We will help refine your existing fraud and identity management processes to ensure that your organization meets the FFIEC’s expectations by:

• Designing an Out of Wallet (OOW) process that is an integral part of an overall, analytically derived fraud policy
• Leveraging a diverse set of data to drive OOW questions, including information not available through public sources
• Giving you the ability to evolve over time to meet emerging fraud threats
• Providing robust performance indicators to ensure that emerging threats are detected
• Being able to balance fraud prevention and a positive customer experience at a minimal cost
