Automated AML, KYC & Due Diligence Solutions for Insurance Firms

Insurers might assume financial criminals such as money launderers do not have them in their sights, but there is no room for complacency. It is true that they represent a less direct means to legitimise dirty money and to pursue suspicious transactions; unlike banks, which provide an ongoing service, insurers tend to sell products in one-off interactions. However, bad actors are continually on the look out for new opportunities, particularly where they think their endeavours will be less obvious.

Arachnys understand some of the challenges insurance firms face and can offer them 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.

A 2018 survey found that 62% of global insurers had been exposed to fraud or financial crime over the previous 24 months, up from 37% in 2016 and 35% in 2014.

Insurance firms have to manage risk for third parties, brokers and agents, cross-border policies, high net worth individuals, false claims, scams and money laundering schemes.

Regulators have taken enforcement action against wholesale insurance intermediaries for failure to adequately manage corruption risk, also causing reputational damage.
