FAQs about KYC and AML

Automated KYC (Know Your Customer) is the process of using technology to verify the identity of customers and assess their risk levels without human intervention, or with minimal intervention. This can include using machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence to analyze data and inform decision making at onboarding, for example when opening an account, or during ongoing risk monitoring.

KYC is convenient for automation as it allows for faster and more efficient verification of customer identities and risk assessment processes. This can help regulated businesses, such as financial services companies, comply with regulations more effectively and reduce the potential for human error. But automated KYC is also useful for non-regulated organizations.

Automated AML, or automated anti-money laundering, refers to the use of technology and software to detect and prevent money laundering activities through legitimate organizations. It includes the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analysis to identify suspicious individuals or entities, monitor customer or supplier behavior, and ensure compliance with regulation. By automating AML processes, organizations can more effectively and efficiently detect and prevent money laundering activities, reducing their risk exposure and protecting their reputation.

Intelligent automation of AML leverages advanced technologies like AI and ML to make processes more effective. This includes automation of repetitive tasks, real-time risk monitoring, and the ability to adapt and learn from new data.
