In the financial services sector, data is a critical asset that drives profitability, risk management, regulatory compliance, and competitive edge.

It is also vital for risk management, regulatory compliance (e.g., BCBS 239, Basel III, AML/KYC), and avoiding fines and reputational damage. “Fit for Business Use” data also supports customer retention, personalized services, and improved revenue stability. Data-savvy CFOs leverage insights for long-term growth.
