AML compliance FAQs

What is AML compliance?

AML (Anti-Money Laundering) Compliance refers to the set of laws, regulations, and procedures designed to prevent individuals and entities from disguising illegally obtained funds as legitimate income. Essential for maintaining the integrity of the global financial system, AML compliance helps deter criminal activities by requiring financial institutions and other regulated entities to monitor customer behavior, conduct due diligence, and report suspicious activities.

For businesses, adhering to AML regulations is crucial not only for preventing financial crime but also for avoiding hefty penalties from non-compliance. It protects the reputation of institutions, enhances investor confidence, and ensures the stability and transparency of financial markets. Implementing robust AML measures allows organizations to detect and prevent money laundering and terrorism financing activities effectively, fostering a secure and trustworthy business environment.

An effective AML compliance program comprises several key components, designed to enforce compliance and mitigate risks:

  • Customer Due Diligence (CDD): Verifying the identity of your clients and assessing their risk profiles.
  • Transaction monitoring: Continuously observing customer transactions to identify and report suspicious activities that might suggest money laundering.
  • Record keeping: Maintaining detailed records of customer identification, transactions, and reporting for a specified period, as required by law.
  • Employee training: Educating staff about AML regulations, how to identify money laundering activities, and the procedures for reporting suspicious transactions.
  • Compliance Officer: Appointing a dedicated individual responsible for overseeing the AML compliance program, ensuring policies are up-to-date and effectively implemented.

Technology has significantly transformed anti-money laundering (AML) compliance by introducing sophisticated tools that automate and enhance the effectiveness of compliance processes. 

Artificial Intelligence used in identity verification improves the efficiency and accuracy of fraud detection, allowing for the identification of fraudulent actors committing money laundering.

Identity verification platforms streamline AML compliance processes, offering dynamic risk assessment, efficient reporting tools, and automation of customer due diligence (CDD) reporting.

By leveraging these technologies, firms strengthen their AML compliance programs, ensuring more robust protection against financial crime while optimising operational efficiency.

AML requirements differ depending on jurisdiction, but generally apply to regulated entities in or adjacent to the finance sector. These include banks, payment institutions, electronic money institutions, cryptoasset service providers, gambling operators, professional services firms, and trust or company service providers. 

Customer Due Diligence is the process of identifying and verifying a customer before establishing a business relationship. It involves confirming identity using reliable sources, understanding the purpose and expected nature of the relationship, and assessing the customer’s money laundering risk. CDD must be kept up to date and refreshed when risk factors or regulations change.

Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) applies when a customer or transaction presents a higher risk of money laundering or terrorist financing. This includes politically exposed persons, customers linked to high-risk jurisdictions, complex ownership structures, or unusual activity. 

Know Your Customer (KYC) is a subset of AML that focuses on identity verification at onboarding in order to confirm who they are. AML is broader and covers ongoing monitoring, risk management, reporting obligations, governance, and internal controls. Completing KYC checks alone does not satisfy full AML compliance requirements.
