Why Credit Card Issuers Need PerformLine’s Social Media Compliance Monitoring

For credit card issuers, protecting your brand’s reputation is crucial—especially across a channel as widely used and powerful as social media. With endless discussions, mentions, shares, and promotions happening online every day, your brand is vulnerable to risks and compliance issues.

Are you truly aware of what’s being said about your brand and product(s) on social media platforms by merchants, affiliates, and other third parties? Are you equipped to combat misleading information and protect your consumers? Manual review alone can’t provide the comprehensive coverage needed to find and mitigate these risks effectively.

PerformLine’s Social Media Monitoring solution allows credit card issuers to automatically monitor their brand across social media platforms—including unknown brand mentions—to identify potential compliance risk at scale.

Here’s why leading credit card issuers use PerformLine’s Social Media Monitoring—and why you should, too.

The Importance of Monitoring Social Media for Compliance

The influence of social media knows no bounds. The fast-paced nature of online conversations, coupled with the sheer volume of content generated daily, makes it challenging to stay in control. Having comprehensive oversight of your brand is critical in today’s regulatory environment.

Monitoring social media for regulatory and brand compliance can help credit card issuers:

• Ensure compliance with regulations such as the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act (CARD Act), Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Acts or Practices (UDAAP), and fair lending laws
• Discover unknown brand mentions to ensure accurate and compliant promotion of products and services across all social media platforms by merchants, affiliates, and other third parties
• Mitigate risk by identifying and addressing potential compliance issues proactively, before they escalate into major problems
• Safeguard brand reputation by promptly identifying and rectifying any misleading or non-compliant content associated with your brand or credit card offerings, thus protecting consumers
• Avoid enforcement actions and costly fines by ensuring that merchants, affiliates, and third parties adhere to regulations and brand guidelines
• Build consumer trust by demonstrating adherence to consumer protection laws and fair treatment of consumers
