Learn how the Building Society overcame the data silos problem and integrated the existing customer data to generate 100% error-free FSCS reporting.
Client Background
The client, a UK Building Society utilising a legacy system for FSCS Single Customer View (SCV) reporting, had issues with data accuracy, customer profile creation, and compliance due to disconnected systems, harder onboarding processes, and evolving regulations. When the client approached Macro Global, they acted as a lifeline for Building Society in resolving these challenges efficiently.

- Established a regulatory monitoring framework with regular updates for staff.
Results Obtained
