Corporate & Investment Banks

Automated KYC solutions for CIB

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 corporate and investment banks 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 corporate & investment banks 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.

The average onboarding time for corporate banking customers is a staggering 90-120 days (Oliver Wyman's Global KYC benchmarking study on Global Banking & Markets KYC).

Global penalties have reached USD $36 billion for non-compliance with Anti-Money Laundering, Know Your Customer and sanctions regulations since the financial crisis.

KYC teams are having to perform laborious, repetitive and highly manual processes, across siloed data, to keep up with a backlog of traditional KYC periodic review cycles.
