Like most things around us, financial services too are getting on to the digital platform with online transactions increasing rapidly over time. This also brings to the fore the threat of online crime, and increasingly stringent financial crime compliance laws are a reality we have to face.

Towards addressing these threats and ensuring security of transactions, financial institutions focus on initiatives like KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering). The competition for ‘genuine customers’ is fierce with newer tech-aware competitors and reducing profit margins, which is what drives organizations in this space to have robust checks and measures in place, for compliance on financial crime. The AML and KYC programs are getting restructured with more stringent rules for non-compliance.

We have a robust track record in defining, deploying and managing AML and KYC initiatives for financial institutions across the globe. In fact, we have offered our services to several clients on the Fortune 500 list, helping them improve on their operational efficiency and compliance.
