As part of client onboarding or as a stand-alone process, financial institutions must analyze their clients and identify politically exposed persons and any exposure related to sanction-imposed individuals or organizations. Although there are several sanction lists and regulatory guidelines, it is difficult to navigate between them to get accurate and up-to-date information from your clients.

We can help you in develop a screening process, review and improve the current process, find optimal data sources and reduce manual controls.

Financial institutions manage payment services with millions of transactions, and they must monitor them and identify suspicious transactions. Banks rely on transaction monitoring systems that typically involve the use of a set of rules to mark suspicious transactions as of alerts. These alerts typically need to be investigated and if deemed to be suspicious, reported to the regulators. False positive alerts therefore significantly increase investigation costs.

We can help you develop efficient processes, implement effective and appropriate rules, investigate alerts and reduce your backlog, to cover the entire KYC lifecycle and minimize the impact on the customer and also provide support in the operation, including backlog reduction.
