This will help Ikano Bank to quickly expand into new markets, detect and prevent fraudulent applications, and deliver robust risk scoring and intuitive case management.

The TruNarrative platform will be integrate with Ikano Bank’s technology stack, including its core architecture, front-end website and native apps. The partnership means Ikano Bank can make manual and automated decisions within a single platform, enabling; localised approaches for each region.
