A typical corporate CRM vision • “Become the provider of choice having the closest relationships with our customers… delivering the best treatment to each customer at the right time through the most suitable channel at the appropriate cost: a customer centric approach with each customer contact maximised in terms of value to the business and value to the customer” What does that mean in data terms?
Warehouse in CRM context Serves three key objectives; • One consistent view of the customer and a level of data integrity that is fit for purpose • Permits direct access to data by business functions and manages its transformation into critical information and intelligence • Ensures that this intelligence is exploited across customer facing operations

Regulation Requirements • Identity checking • Know Your Customer (KYC) • Monitoring transactions • Checking against Sanctions data • Checking against Politically Exposed Persons data • At the start of a relationship • Throughout the life of the relationship
Know Your Customer KYC should be viewed as a corporate asset • Type of job - need to pay in cash? Likely demographics? • Salary – affordability? Supports credit? • Essential tool in the fight against money laundering
Assessing the identity risk • Validity is satisfied where there is sufficient supporting evidence to confirm that a person of that name exists • Verification is the process of establishing that the applicant is the ‘data subject’ or ‘owner’ of the valid identity references
Assessing the credit risk Look at the person’s: - • stability • time at address, time in employment • credit track record • adverse data • degree of commitments • ‘experience’ of handling credit • demographics • age, marital status, number of dependants
Assessing the fraud risk • Soft fraud - misrepresentation • yesterday £10K salary in job 6 months • today £25K salary in job 3 years • Hard fraud - fabrication • inferred alias • ‘shared’ attributes • hits against known frauds • name • address
Customer Data Sources of customer data • Physical documents • Source data relating to documents • Electronic data sources • customer records • transaction records
