Advanced Data and Analytics Help Bankers Improve Compliance and
Reduce Losses Fiserv Inc. (Nasdaq: FISV) announced that its
Information Technology Inc. (ITI) business unit has integrated
Acxiom Insight Identify into its Premier(R) Platform account
opening software, arming new accounts staff with technology that
offers access to unmatched data and analytic resources. Developed
by Acxiom Insight, the risk mitigation division of Acxiom(R)
Corporation (Nasdaq: ACXM), Insight Identify also reduces human
error, enhances compliance with regulatory customer identification
requirements and decreases identity theft. "Losses stemming from
fraudulent activity are painful enough for bankers without having
to pay regulatory penalties resulting from error and
noncompliance," said Bob Michaud, ITI senior vice president and
general manager of the company's Branch Automation operating unit.
"This solution eases both those financial risks by helping to
eliminate human error when verifying identification and by lowering
risk through a refined screening process." Insight Identify
instantly cross-references applicant information, such as name,
address and Social Security number, against Acxiom's extensive
consumer data. The program enables a second-level risk assessment
by searching additional databases where risk elements exist,
including liens, bankruptcies, judgments, property and criminal
records. "We're pleased to have the opportunity to assist ITI
clients in their fight against one of America's fastest-growing
crimes," said Acxiom Insight CEO Ron Fournet. "Identity theft has
become a front page concern for Americans in recent years and
Insight Identify, with its superior data and analytics, is the most
sophisticated anti-identity theft technology available today."
Insight Identify also meets the requirements for an effective
customer identification program to ensure compliance with the USA
Patriot Act and similar regulations. About Acxiom Corporation
