Paul Cain, Global Head of Research, HSBC

Paul Cain is the Global Head of Research Analytics and Data Science at HSBC.  Paul has over 30 years of experience in analytical strategy development across different banking disciplines covering application, behavioural, credit risk, fraud and financial crime.

Financial crime is a global issue, and firstly it’s important to create a purpose built data platform that enables a bank as large as HSBC to fully leverage its vast data footprint.

The ability to process data quickly is opening up new ways to identify criminal behaviour.  The capability to Network customers and clients using a variety of payment, social and behavioural links helps highlight patterns of activity that previously may not have been known.
