In today’s fast-paced, data-driven world, information has become the most valuable currency, and financial services is no exception. Every transaction, every consumer interaction, and every market movement generates a wealth of data. And for those financial institutions (FIs) that understand the true potential of this data and harness it effectively, the possibilities are boundless. That’s why having easy access to and effectively using data has become the cornerstone of success for FIs. In fact, data analytics ranks among the top three technology investments for financial institutions over the next two years. Nevertheless, for many FIs, the immense volume of data at their disposal feels daunting and out of reach.
If you find yourself facing this challenge, read on.

How Does It Work?
MeridianLink Data Connect enables FIs to integrate their MeridianLink® Consumer and MeridianLink® Opening data directly into their data warehouse, allowing for more insightful reporting, combined with the ability to develop more complete key performance indicators that would otherwise be limited to single data sources.

- Better, data-driven decisions
- Enhanced consumer insights
