Case Study: UK-Based Bank achieves 80% reduction in risk-flagging turnaround with Contify's Market Intelligence platform

How a UK Based Bank Leverages Market Intelligence Platform to Track Negative News on Clients

UK Based Bank’s research arm tracks about 1,500 current and prospective clients for signals of business risk, with negative news required to reach HQ within hours. The bank’s manual, labor-intensive and non-standardized process prompted them to engage Contify and deploy Contify’s Market Intelligence platform to automate real-time negative-news monitoring.

Contify configured the platform to track risk signals (lawsuits, fines, corruption, etc.), developed keyword and machine‑learning models, added regulatory and legal sources beyond news media, backfilled three years of negative news, and set up real-time alerts to account owners. Contify’s solution reduced turnaround from 48 hours to minutes (an 80% reduction), flagged five potentially risky companies in the first month, and enabled faster, decisive action on client risk.
