RepRisk for banks

Integrate actionable business conduct and reputational risk data into your bank’s client and investment portfolios

Your trusted source for actionable risk intelligence at every stage of the client lifecycle

In today’s dynamic markets, banks must balance origination and growth with rigorous reputational, compliance, and financial business conduct risk management. RepRisk gives you timely, outside in risk intelligence, validated by experts and powered by advanced AI, to integrate risk considerations across the enterprise, from KYC and onboarding to transaction due diligence and portfolio oversight.

Banking use cases: where RepRisk adds value

  • Client onboarding & KYC
    Screen new and existing clients for business conduct and reputational risks using quantitative thresholds. Automate monitoring and alerts for ongoing compliance reviews.

  • Transaction due diligence
    Embed RepRisk data in approval workflows for lending, project finance, trade and export finance, IPOs, advisory, and credit. Standardize risk checks and documentation to meet internal and international standards.

  • Reputational risk management
    Detect early warning signals on issues such as human rights, corruption, biodiversity, and modern slavery, before they become financial liabilities. Benchmark against peers and sector trends for context when entity incident history is sparse.

  • ESR / sustainability frameworks
    Apply a norms-based screening and thematic risk lenses (UNGC, UNGPs, OECD, SDGs, SASB, EU Taxonomy, SFDR) to align financing decisions with your bank’s policies and risk appetite.

  • Third party & procurement risk
    Harmonize supplier onboarding and supply chain risk management with consistent flags. Use Country-Sector metrics and watchlist alerts to drive engagement, audits, and continuous monitoring at scale.
