Automated KYC for Asset & Wealth Managers
Global penalties for non-compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know your Customer (KYC) processes have hit and all time high for financial institutions. Regulatory pressure combined with cost cutting means asset and wealth managers are required to reduce financial crime, improve customer onboarding whilst simultaneously reducing overheads and increasing efficiency across teams.
Arachnys have deep domain expertise in working with asset and wealth management firms to provide cloud-based solutions that align with their risk policy and reduce the burden of manual, laborious and inefficient processes.
Backed by unparalleled global data sources, we provide the tools to help you automate and accelerate manual effort in supply chain due diligence, customer and vendor onboarding, monitor adverse media and mitigate reputational risk.
Industry Problems
Under 5AMLD in Europe, asset managers must now consider additional high-risk factors and need to seek more detailed information for enhanced due diligence and monitoring.
Money laundering risks can emanate from non face-to-face business dealings, clients in high-risk countries, offshore trusts, shell companies and high net worth individuals.
Many asset management firms have inadequate systems and controls for identifying, assessing and managing money laundering, bribery and corruption risks.
