Ways banks are utilizing data analytics
Data analytics is mostly employed in demand, supply, and risk management in the financial and banking industry.
While conventional approaches to analytics in financial services focus on creating reports and dashboards, today's financial firms are embracing data analytics for a more practical purpose. Although data analytics is more and more prevalent among banks and financial organizations, it is still a relatively new concept. It is not yet a conventional practice, and not every bank and financial institution use it similarly. Let's see how it's being utilized by banks and financial institutions to tackle risk.
· Fraud detection
While reducing fraud is a specific aim for banks and other financial institutions, analytics may also be helpful to manage risk rather than identify it.
Individual consumers at risk of fraud may be identified and rated using analytics, and then varying degrees of evaluation and monitoring can get applied to those accounts. In addition, banks and other financial institutions can determine what to focus on in their fraud detection efforts by analyzing the risk of the accounts.
· Risk modeling for investment banks
Risk modeling is modeling the movement of a portfolio of assets or a single asset in reaction to various situations. One may lower their portfolio's total risk and enhance its performance if risk modeling is done appropriately and consistently across all assets.
