Introduction: The Hidden Risk in Your Data Stack
A recent BCG study revealed that over 60% of data-related regulatory issues in banks originate upstream at the entity data level. However, most financial institutions continue to focus their modernization efforts on downstream systems like KYC workflows, compliance dashboards, or analytics engines.
That approach results in sophisticated systems processing flawed, fragmented entity records. Therefore, stakeholders will observe reporting gaps, compliance flags, and loss of audit credibility.
Many organizations are still juggling spreadsheets, legacy systems, or siloed records to manage legal entities. In other words, they are not prepared to thrive in today’s compliance-first, AI-accelerated environment.
That is where an intelligent entity management solution like TruNtity steps in.

The Real Problem: Messy, Manual, and Missed Data Workflows
Most banks face the same challenges when it comes to entity data. They report how often issues like duplicate and outdated records occur across departments. Besides, poor integration between source systems and compliance tools affects their effectiveness.
At the same time, a lack of audit trails or version history might be a symptom of over-reliance on manual enrichment processes that are vulnerable to errors. Those processes will likely cause disconnected legal hierarchies and ownership changes.
These challenges slow down operations. Moreover, they create risk exposure that no audit-ready organization can afford. Still, these problems persist because they are deeply embedded in how entity data has traditionally been managed.
As a result, banks and financial institutions need a foundational shift from reactive cleanup to proactive entity resolution.
