TruNarrative
AccountScore is a firm which provides access to Open Banking API and bank transaction data and analytical services. Its primary client base is made up of tenant reference agencies, telecommunication firms and several major financial service providers. The AccountScore platform provides its clients with ability to verify wide range of information such as Customer Salary Amount, Affordability and Identity. These are data which in the past were normally acquired via submission of paper documents and involved a lengthy and costly manual validation procedure. However, AccountScore’s API’s provide thiier clients with information in real time and also provides a consumer facing portal that allows the organization to control flow of various information which they share with different parties. Via data acquired from Open Banking API such as consumer/business banking data, the firms can perform risk assessment, compliance and fraud detection activities in very little time.
Given that these activities provide information in real time, the targeted clients such as lenders, banks and gaming service providers can now easily comply with their mandatory onboarding and transaction obligations for their customers as per regulatory norms. It also provides one major advantage which makes a huge difference in today’s market. Given that Open Banking API will be connected to TruNarrative Platform, users of this platform will now gain access to the regtech’s proprietary product solutions, data from open banking api and address matching engine and other key services made available via the firm’s partnership with various third parties. This allows TruNarrative platform clients to gain exact affordability score information – a key requirement enforced by UK Gambling commission to service providers. Not just gaming service providers but also banks and lenders can now use the granular level decision making process to identify the eligibility of a firm for extension of loan or if they are under banked and in need of immediate credit support allowing improved success rate in their business.
