In Southeast Asia, regulators are tightening their oversight of financial services marketing—particularly in areas like insurance—creating an urgent need for compliance teams to adapt quickly. Similar regulatory pressures are also emerging in markets such as India, Hong Kong, and Australia.

Financial institutions are under mounting pressure to monitor agent behaviour, mitigate misinformation, and maintain brand trust. The risks are high, especially in the age of “finfluencers” and high-stakes social media visibility.

Our latest report reveals how financial institutions such as banks and insurance providers use Meltwater to monitor how their agents promote products online, giving them greater visibility, control, and confidence. You’ll learn how to:

Identify specific keywords like “guaranteed returns” and get notified when an agent posts them on their social media channels

Track customer complaints across social media platforms and online forums to uncover misconduct trends

Set up real-time alerts that enable compliance teams to intervene early

Use sentiment analysis to identify recurring pain points and boost agent training

Some insurance firms receive 15–20 complaints per week related to agent misrepresentation, aggressive sales tactics, or false claims. These are not just customer service concerns, as they represent significant regulatory and reputational risks.  

Read this free report to learn how you can empower your team with the tools and insights needed to safeguard your brand in today’s fast-evolving, socially driven landscape. 

Our latest report reveals how financial institutions such as banks and insurance providers use Meltwater to monitor their agents in this social-driven landscape.

Essential data on digital behavior around the world, brought to you by Kepios in partnership with Meltwater and We Are Social.

Digital 2026: Global Overview Report

The Meltwater Insight Report explores how AI, social media, and declining trust in traditional institutions are reshaping corporate communications and influence.

With insights led by David Hickey (Executive Director, APAC at Meltwater) and exclusive contributions from Oren Fixler (Head of Social, Content & Media Relations at Telstra), and Gaven Morris (Executive GM, Corporate Affairs at Commonwealth Bank), the report uncovers what Corporate Affairs teams need to know to stay ahead.

Telstra found its reputation impact doubled on owned channels compared to earned media – overturning the long-held belief that third-party validation is the gold standard for trust.

Data revealed TikTok is now Telstra’s highest-reputation touchpoint, showing unconventional platforms can outperform traditional media in building affinity.

Commonwealth Bank is using financial literacy content over promotional messaging to deepen connections - proving value-led storytelling resonates more than overt selling.

Both Telstra and Commonwealth Bank are recruiting talent from outside traditional comms to bring expertise in paid social, conversion, and AI – skills now critical for corporate affairs.

Leaders flagged that AI is not just a tool for efficiency but a filter that shapes which narratives surface at all – making AI-optimised content discoverability a new frontier.

“Our role is to paint that future state – to make the unimaginable tangible,” as CBA’s Gaven Morris put it – a reminder that adaptability and foresight are now as important as technical skills.

Access the full report to see how Corporate Affairs leaders are staying relevant, building trust, and securing a competitive advantage in an increasingly distrustful world.
