Visa Analytics Platform helps Luminor Bank add 23K approved transactions per month

To drive business agility and uncover new opportunities, Luminor was focused on providing instant access to anonymized mass transaction data for all its business users.

Luminor’s cards team had been using complex and time-consuming internal SQL-based business reporting tools, and wanted to provide business users with faster access to critical data in addition to performance insights. By doing this, it would enable the bank to streamline its reporting processes and reduce the burden on its internal resources.

Visa Analytics Platform helped enable Luminor to empower its business users with quick access to advanced anonymized mass transaction data sets, reducing the demand on internal resources.

Visa Analytics Platform’s rapidly available performance reports and data visualization features provided Luminor a way to access and analyze mass transaction data for better and faster decision-making.

The platform also helped Luminor reduce the amount of time needed to create reports by more than half, to just a few hours each week. This increased overall efficiency and transparency while improving decision-making across the business.

Luminor’s product owners, risk managers and sales teams use the Visa Analytics Platform to help them review performance, analyze trends and gauge the impact of marketing campaigns and product launches.

Using Visa Analytics Platform helped Luminor drive significant improvements and optimizations including:

• Quick access to advanced data for all business users
• Significant time savings on report generation each week

Luminor continues to use Visa Analytics Platform to accelerate decision-making across a wide range of business needs.

The benchmarking reports available within Visa Analytics Platform helped reveal issues with the transaction decline rate. This information was seamlessly passed to Luminor’s daily banking products team, who used Visa Analytics Platform to analyze the underlying causes behind the decline rate issue. Using these actionable insights, they made rapid adjustments within their authentication strategy to reduce the rate of false declines, which resulted in 23,000 additional approved transactions per month and €500,000 in added sales per month.

Close collaboration with the Visa Analytics Platform team — including ongoing training and individualized support — helped Luminor easily incorporate the features of the platform into their daily operations and decision-making processes.
