Background
KYC or "Know your customers" refers to due diligence activities that financial institutions and other regulated companies perform to prevent them from being used by criminal elements for money laundering activities. This is a tedious and manual activity, requiring very accurate results. In case of mistakes the fines are of millions of USD and affects the reputation of the bank.
The 3 Key elements of KYC Policies:
Onboarding the customer – A smaller number of prospect clients need to be analyzed, but there is a pressure from competition on the SLA for client opening account.
Monitoring the customer data – The whole portfolio needs to be assessed periodically, with no pressure from the client, but from the regulations in this area (example: The frequency of a periodic review may increase (from 1 per 3 years to smaller periods) which almost triples of the volume of work
Monitoring of Transactions – Anti-Money Laundering activities (different process - out of scope)
