It’s made more complex by the different standards, languages, and levels of quality in the different data sources on which firms typically rely on. It’s expensive too: a recentstates that some firms are spending up to $670m each year on KYC.

We then looked at the impact of theEU’s fifth AML directiveand how firmsare able toautomate their sanctions screening with thesanctions match engine.

We also exploredhow we support efforts to reduce risk and financial crime involving the clever tech we’ve used to transliteratebetween charactersets andperformܱپ-ԲܲٳԲ.

Bringing even more predictive capabilities to human effort means that finding those edge cases, don’t have to wait until all the obvious ones have been ruled out.We also composed a piece entitled ‘Lifting the lidon the problems thatĢƵsolves’, if you missed it out can check it out here.
