the status quoLegacy consent tools weren’t built for modern financial leaders

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.

Encoded governance at the system level

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.

Consent & Preference Management

Prove your AI doesn't use what it shouldn't

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.

automated governanceRegulations enforced automatically

Fintech companies are subject to additional requirements around privacy and the handling of customer data, including Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), PCI DSS, and PSD2.  Only Transcend encodes permissions and data use policy restrictions directly into the systems that process customer data, including databases, core banking platforms, marketing stacks, and AI pipelines.

pain pointsThe hidden data issues that Transcend solves

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.
