Data Quality KPIs to C-Level in Fintech: 8 Governance Principles

Lunar, a leading Nordic digital bank, successfully implemented a data governance framework to enhance data quality and secure C-level buy-in by using SYNQ, a data reliability and observability tool.
Their framework focuses on data ownership, criticality, and monitoring. Lunar's data team, leveraging tools like SYNQ, ensures high standards against financial crime, personalisation through AI, and reliable reporting.
They maintain oversight through automated monitoring, use of data products, and a robust ownership model, which enhances data quality and accelerates issue resolution for their reports to executives.
This approach enables Lunar’s data engineering and data governance teams to work in harmony, and operate efficiently without having to increase headcount.
