Darlington Building Society teams up with LexisNexis Risk Solutions

Darlington Building Society, the 160+ year old Northeast-based mutual, has procured compliance technology from LexisNexis® Risk Solutions. As part of the Society’s ongoing digital transformation, Darlington will initially use the LexisNexis® RiskNarrative™ platform to deliver their financial crime prevention strategy and improve their existing online member portal experience and customer onboarding journeys.

The mutual went to market for a technology solution to facilitate low-friction customer journeys whilst maintaining the highest levels of compliance and risk mitigation.

The RiskNarrative™ platform enables businesses to detect fraud and identify risk using a single API and integrates into over 50+ third party data sources to enrich risk decisioning. RiskNarrative will allow Darlington Building Society to orchestrate document verification, PEP and sanctions monitoring, identity and address verification, risk ratings of applications, and deliver the ability to build and maintain internal watch lists.

With the platform in place, Darlington have the ability to further digitalise their overall customer journey, including automated document verification and due diligence checks to enhance their customer experience and financial crime and fraud prevention processes.
