Case Study: LV
Business Challenge
LV’s
banking business had gone through a period of significant growth,
both in the products offered and the size of its portfolio. It undertook
review of its operational processes in order to streamline the lending
process in the real-time online environment but without sacrificing
fraud protection. It was recognised that a robust and effective automated
fraud prevention system integrated with the application process, could
have a significant impact on the levels of fraud losses and associated
costs and therefore the profitability of the company.
The Decision Analytics answer
The bank evaluated a number of fraud prevention products that are available in the market. LV had seen the market leading application fraud solution, Hunter, in operation at another financial services organisation and was aware of its reputation in the industry. Hunter offered the right combination of fraud detection power and flexibility backed by the support and delivery capabilities of Experian Decision Analytics. It offered the best return on investment with unparalleled data matching and sharing capabilities.

Manager for LV. “Hunter has become a vital part of LV’s fraud detection
processes. The standard of service offered by Experian Decision Analytics
