Audit-ready architecture
The challenge
- GDPR, national banking regulations, PSD2, and AML requirements together create an almost impossible compliance landscape.
- KYC processes break down at every border.
- Customer service reps can't see the complete relationship when data is siloed by country.
- Fraud detection develops blind spots when behavioral data can't be aggregated.
How TERRA solves it
- One central SAP system for global banking operations — a single system to manage.
- Customer PII is secured in country-specific stores automatically.
- KYC/AML compliance runs across global operations while personal identification stays local.
- Regulatory reporting generates both country-specific and global reports from one system.
- Fraud detection works on aggregated behavioral patterns without ever moving PII.
