A SUCCESS STORY

T-Mobile MultiLine helps a global financial institution communicate with its clients seamlessly.

A Tier 1 global financial institution with a large employee base and diverse client portfolio faced the challenge of seamlessly communicating with clients while ensuring financial services compliance with regulatory requirements. To help comply with electronic communications record-keeping regulations, the bank decided they needed a robust solution to automate compliance for all client-facing employees.

They sought an electronic communications compliance solution that could be easily deployed and integrated with their existing systems, while maintaining the flexibility to accommodate both personal and corporate mobile devices. T-Mobile MultiLine allowed the bank to capture all client engagements in a single system of record, providing efficient communication, enhanced service delivery, and an improved client experience.

  • 58% of their regulated US workforce were given MultiLine numbers (8,000 employees)
  • Use cases include traders and wealth managers
  • Six of the 10 largest investment banks in the world use MultiLine to address their electronic communication concerns

Challenge.

Ensuring financial compliance with SEC mobile communication record keeping regulations can be difficult, especially with employees using client-preferred communication channels. However, financial and reputational risks of non-compliance are too costly to ignore.

Automated Compliance Solution.

T-Mobile MultiLine allows financial institutions to automate compliance using a single, device-based application. A dedicated line on BYOD or corporate liable phones records—and even redacts—text communication. Cloud storage addresses retention requirements.

PAIN POINTS

Financial institutions are expected to comply with SEC regulations regarding electronic communications record keeping. Ensuring electronic communications compliance requires an automated solution that can be seamlessly integrated and accommodate both personal and corporate mobile devices.

The Tier 1 global financial institution struggled to manage their mobile communication record keeping and received an eight-figure fine from the SEC. This prompted them to find a robust solution that was compatible with multiple carriers for their large, diverse employee base and could be easily deployed across their organization.
