TSYS and MobiVi partnerships deliver real value

Experian is committed to delivering world class services to clients around the world. We achieve this by building partnerships with leading organisations to create a combined offering of products and services.

For example, building our risk management or fraud decision engine into a partner’s account management system gives clients access to a tried and tested integrated solution that works together to offer significant business benefit from the first day. Clients are able to immediately benefit from best practice solutions supported by leading edge consultancy.

Experian has long-standing partnerships with organisations across the world from TSYS, the largest outsourced payment services and credit card processing company, to dynamic operators in emerging markets such as MobiVi in Vietnam. 

These relationships enable new solutions to new challenges. Experian is actively working to create new partnerships and work together with existing partners to expand and develop the products and services offered.  

 

Working globally with one of the largest outsourced payment services companies 

TSYS (Total System Services, Inc.)  is one of the world's largest companies for outsourced payment services, offering a broad range of issuer- and acquirer-processing technologies that support a range of card services for organisations around the world. Experian works with TSYS to support a client base of card issuers throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, North and South America and Asia.

Experian and TSYS have been working together, since 2002, enabling credit card and private label issuer’s access to fully integrated systems, such as TSYS’s TS2 card processing platform and Experian’s Probe SM behavioural scoring solution. Working together TSYS and Experian help clients better manage business decisions in areas such as authorisations, limit management and collections for more than 80 million accounts each month.

Experian and TSYS have recently announced the integration of Probe SM, with TSYS’s  new card processing platform TS Prime. Working at both account and customer level, the new solution will give credit and private label card issuers unprecedented strategic control over the management of their portfolios. Issuers will be able to apply personalised customer management strategies to cardholders that reflect behaviours, helping them to build long-term profitable relationships to the benefit of both the customer and the business.

“We have an established relationship with Experian in a number of markets and have already integrated Probe SM with our existing TS2 platform,” said Kelley Knutson, Executive Vice President of Global Services, TSYS. “A specific focus with our new platform for TS Prime processing is to provide our clients with efficiency gains and increased profitability, coupled with speed to market. Probe SM fully supports that goal and will provide our clients with proven decision support capability that will allow them to control and grow their portfolios effectively.”

“The integration of these two systems provides a complete business solution. In an increasingly sophisticated and dynamic market place, the ability to react effectively to change has never been more important. TS Prime provides the operation flexibility and Probe SM the strategic decisioning to be able to support the business in this dynamic environment,” commented Elio Vitucci, Managing Director of Experian’s Decision Analytics division. “Experian already markets strategy management tools to clients in the financial services and telecoms sectors in over 60 countries. This further integration with TSYS will ensure that clients are offered the best technologies and strategic business management tools to help them support both the needs of their customers and the needs of their business.”

 

Working locally with Vietnam’s leading e-payment service provider

Experian and MobiVi have entered into a partnership to deliver analytics services to improve credit risk and fraud management in Vietnam. MobiVi builds and operates the largest and most advanced e-payment network partners with banks and other financial institutions to bring e-payment services to the market.

The partnership allows Experian to build on its presence in the high-growth Vietnamese market, whilst enabling the country’s financial sector to improve its credit risk management capabilities.

Under the agreement, MobiVi will work with Experian to deliver services designed to help financial institutions in Vietnam maximise the value of every customer interaction. The agreement allows Experian to work closely with MobiVi’s extensive network with state-owned banks and joint-stock commercial banks, which cover 60 percent of Vietnam’s banking sector.

“Despite the recent global economic downturn, the retail and small business lending market in Vietnam is poised for rapid growth and requires financial institutions to make fast and accurate decisions for customers in the credit origination process,” said Dennis Martin, Managing Director, Emerging SE Asia for Experian. “This strategic partnership underlines our commitment to developing our presence in Vietnam and reflects Experian’s strategy of optimising clients’ performance in risk management and fraud prevention.”

“Our vision to create value for clients is strengthened by our partnership with Experian,” said Nam Tran, Chief Operating Officer at MobiVi. “Experian has over 30 years experience in delivering credit analytics and risk decision consultation and software to a global market. This partnership will drive the rapid delivery of world-class analytical capabilities, enabling our partner banks and financial institutions to achieve high-performance lending strategies and mitigate fraud risks.”
