SMART SCREENING TECHNOLOGY
FOR EFFECTIVE AML COMPLIANCE PROCESSES

Name Matching is the real challenge in Sanctions & AML compliance:
Transliteration issues, Nicknames, Honorifics, Spelling errors etc. make name
screening a challenge which can’t be solved with simple fuzzy algorithms.

The industry leading screening technology is based on latest research and
achievements in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Artificial Intelligence
(AI) utilized by organizations such as Amazon, LinkedIn or U.S. Homeland
Security.

This technology helps reducing significantly False Positives while making sure
that no real match slips through the cracks.

FAQ


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


AML & KYC COMPLIANCE

What does AML & KYC mean?

AML (Anti-Money Laundering) is an umbrella term for a range of regulatory
processes businesses must have in place in order to prevent money laundering and
making sure payments come from legitimate sources.

KYC (Know Your Customer) is a part of AML requiring companies to verify their
customers’ identity and make sure the customer is generally not a ‘bad guy’ and
doesn’t pose any risk to the organization.

Overview of AML & KYC policies and regulations

The most important regulatory organizations on a global level are the United
Nations and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) which is the global money
laundering and terrorist financing ‘watchdog’. Their policies and
recommendations are adopted by a wide range of countries (more than 200) as a
standard and framework for their national regulations.

Besides those global organizations there are also regulators and laws on
national levels which, depending on your market, could be relevant for your
business. Some of the most relevant organizations in terms of international
trade are for example the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) in the US or
the European Commission in the EU. For more information on global and national
regulations see our blog.

Why is this relevant for my business?

Global AML & KYC regulations are a complicated field to navigate especially for
small and midsize businesses (SMB). Not only the complexity of the regulations
itself make it difficult but often there are regulations from multiple countries
or organizations to obey.

While the financial industry and other ‘high risk industries’ such as real
estate have been required for a long time to have KYC processes in place, many
other industries only now face stricter regulations due to global widespread of
KYC and AML compliance requirements.

In general all businesses are required to adopt compliance programs and for
example check their customers against Sanctions and PEP (Politically Exposed
Persons) lists to understand the risk in doing business with their clients.

Consequence of non-compliance

The risk for non-compliance with AML, KYC and Sanctions regulations includes
high fines and penalties (see here our blog post about the cost of neglecting
AML compliance), getting your business or yourself on a sanctions or watch list
and/or could even involve prison sentences for executives and officers.
