Don’t let internal transfers ruin your day. Better reporting, and better results.

Ever been tripped up by transaction reports that don’t make a clear distinction between a spend or income transaction and an internal transfer between a customer’s accounts? When accuracy and quality are critical, this issue can contribute to compliance breaches, flawed risk assessments and increased cases of fraud.

Say your client’s regular salary payment (let’s use $1,000 for an example) gets deposited into their primary account, and they then transfer half of that into another of their accounts. We intuitively understand this doesn’t mean they’ve now received $1,500 in income, but automated systems often lack the capacity to distinguish this, and can produce misleading results.

Depending on the context, internal transfers can mean different things. For example, a transfer to another transaction account is meaningless in terms of its effect on income and spend, however if that other account is a loan or credit card, the transfer has meaning as a repayment of debt. If transfers are not specifically managed for in transaction analysis, the risk of error is high and manually managing this risk means longer credit assessment times and more errors.
