Automated AML Screening to Prevent Money-Laundering and Financial Crime
Incorporating Anti-Money Laundering (AML) screening in the form of Politically Exposed Person (PEP), Sanction and Adverse Media checks reduces risk for your business and helps prevent financial crime. Often the challenge for financially regulated businesses is balancing regulatory compliance and these fraud prevention measures with a simple, convenient customer onboarding journey. With ID-Pal, organisations can seamlessly integrate PEPs & Sanctions checks and Adverse Media screening into their Know Your Customer (KYC) and identity verification process, while offering their customers an award-winning experience.
What are PEPs and Sanctions?
Under Anti-Money Laundering regulations, businesses such as financial institutions and other large corporates must complete PEPs and Sanctions screening as part of their Know Your Customer (KYC) process. Failure to have adequate risk-based procedures in place can lead to substantial fines for the business.
What is a PEP?
A PEP is a Politically Exposed Person. These individuals represent a higher level of money-laundering risk due to the fact that they, or someone close to them, hold a prominent position that makes them more vulnerable to negative influences such as bribery or corruption. Screening for PEPs enables businesses to identify these high-risk customers, thereby ensuring robust AML compliance measures are in place.
What are Sanctions?
Sanctions are restrictions placed on countries, businesses or individuals to prevent them from engaging in certain activities. As part of AML regulations, businesses are required to check Sanctions Lists prior to working with new customers to ensure that they do not work with sanctioned individuals.
