Only Transcend answers “Can I use this data?” by encoding customer permissions directly into the systems that process first-party financial data. Automatically enforce consent, preferences, and business rules across every data flow: unlocking personalization, AI, and growth with compliance built in.

They capture consent at the front end but don’t enforce data permissions across core banking systems, AI pipelines, and marketing platforms in real time. Every new product, channel, and AI initiative adds more compliance friction and technical debt as regulations evolve.

Only Transcend encodes GLBA, FCRA, and PCI DSS controls directly into the systems that process customer data - so access restrictions, use limitations, and audit trails are enforced automatically.
Transcend encodes protected attribute restrictions directly into your AI pipelines - so models can't access or use race, gender, age, or other protected demographic data in decisions or targeting, and the real-time audit trail proves it.
Transcend synchronizes consent and preference signals in real time across every system, so every use of sensitive customer data is governed consistently - from collection to AI, analytics, and activation.

Sombra, Transcend’s self-hosted security gateway, runs inside your environment within your cloud and security controls. Two-way encryption keeps sensitive financial data inside your infrastructure while Transcend enforces governance without ever seeing your data. Built for financial-grade data sensitivity.

Credit history, account balances, transaction patterns, and payment data carry strict use restrictions under GLBA, FCRA, and PCI DSS. But when those restrictions are documented in a policy rather than encoded into the systems that process the data, enforcement depends on humans following a process - and that's where exposure accumulates.

After a full-scale governance tooling transformation, the GoCardless team was able to cut out hundreds of hours of manual work, evaluate key strategic business initiatives more quickly, and raise executive confidence in the business’s compliance program.

A leading financial institution used Transcend to automate data governance across its ecosystem: enabling secure, permissioned use of customer data for AI, personalization, and new digital experiences without slowing innovation.

AI initiatives stall. Audiences shrink. Roadmaps slip. The issue isn’t policy, it’s enforcement. In this session, Transcend CEO Ben Brook walks through a practical maturity model for moving from static data policies to real-time enforcement across your stack.
Transcend helps financial institutions activate more customer data, accelerate innovation, and scale personalized experiences with permissions enforced across every system.
