Business as usual is no longer an option
In such a highly regulated, ultra-competitive and rapidly changing industry, it is imperative that you partner with someone who can meet the changing requirements of banks.
The financial services industry is continuously evolving due to challenges stemming from regulation, legacy systems, disruptive models and technology, increased competition and a drive for improving the customer experience.
As a result, the way your financial institution identifies, accesses, monitors and protects different types of information has to evolve as well. It is essential that you adapt your financial services records retention and internal audit requests, while also ensuring the security of your customer’s information.

Financial Services Use Cases
Challenge:
A major US bank was experiencing a high level of cheque fraud. As a result, it became necessary to review a very large number of previously processed cheques in a very compressed time frame. The bank did not have the equipment, manpower, or data capture expertise and technology to process these cheques within the deadline.
Capabilities:
Iron Mountain quickly configured a solution to receive the previously imaged cheques, capture the required metadata using both automation and manual techniques, and then fed that data back to the customer.

Capabilities:
Iron Mountain partnered with the customer to create and execute a holistic solution to back file highly active images and store, microform and deploy an image on demand solution for the less active files.
