Onboarding and Fraud Remodelling

Executive summary

In Financial Services more than in every other industry, leveraging an industry proven onboarding and Know Your Customer (KYC) ontology and fine-tune it to your corporate compliance policies, is an absolut must-have. Ensure manual processing, existing triggers and information sources are tied together by a unified and harmonized process supporting front-office and compliance simultaneously.

Problem statement

Many financial service providers struggle with the complexity and inefficiency of their client onboarding and recurring KYC monitoring practice. And many have issues, when it comes to Anti-Money Laundering (AML), source of funds and transaction monitoring compliance. The front-office staff often tries to cut corners and the compliance staff is overwhelmed with the number of cases and follow-ups that are required from them. Disintegrated and high-maintenance systems and processes are the usual status quo, with little budget and energy to change from due to the inherent risk.
