As banks are looking to grow and scale their fintech partnership programs more cautiously amidst increasing regulatory scrutiny, PerformLine is making the compliance review and monitoring process easy.
Through automated technology, PerformLine helps banks increase their compliance oversight of fintech partners without the need for additional resources or headcount.
Keep reading to learn about PerformLine’s compliance solutions for banks with fintech partnerships, the benefits of using PerformLine, and some real-life success stories from clients.
Compliance solutions for banks with fintech partnerships
PerformLine is the only omni-channel marketing compliance software that offers complete coverage at all stages of the marketing process, from automated compliance review of materials to ongoing monitoring and discovery across channels.
Automated marketing material review and approval
PerformLine starts with Document Review, which provides consistent, fast, and accurate compliance verdicts on marketing materials within just minutes. This provides instant feedback to the submitter, flagging any content that violates their compliance rules.
This capability is crucial for both banks and fintechs in a partnership, as fintechs are looking to get content out as quickly as possible while banks are working to make sure they’re compliant and within their brand guidelines.
Done manually, this process is tedious and labor-intensive, creating bottlenecks and an inability to scale.
Ongoing monitoring and discovery across channels
Once marketing content has been approved via Document Review, PerformLine then offers Web Monitoring, Social Media Monitoring, and Email Monitoring to continuously monitor known content placements and discover any unknown promotions or brand mentions across those channels.
This helps scale the oversight of fintechs and how they’re discussing products and promotions.
Rather than the basic approach of monthly checks for bank disclosures, PerformLine allows banks to continuously monitor how fintech partners engage in customer acquisition, including their interactions with influencers, affiliates, and other third parties. This comprehensive monitoring ensures banks make a good faith effort to discover, monitor, and act on communications about their banking products at the consumer level.
Direct communication monitoring
Lastly, PerformLine offers Call Monitoring and Message Monitoring for both compliance and performance.
Banks gain critical insights into consumer complaints regarding their fintech partners by monitoring these direct, one-to-one communications with consumers.
Our automation highlights potential regulatory violations or consumer complaints, allowing banks to take proactive measures to address any concerns and ensure that all regulatory requirements are met.
The data provided by PerformLine can also be used to inform ongoing compliance efforts, enabling businesses to stay ahead of any potential issues and maintain a strong reputation for fair and ethical practices.

- Comprehensive coverage without additional headcount: PerformLine enables teams to overcome headcount limitations and broaden their compliance oversight, facilitating the growth and support of new fintech partnerships without the need for proportional increases in staff.
