Today’s market: An unprecedented challenge to
comply with KYC requirements
• Pressure to reconcile & ‘de-risk’
• Exploding AML/KYC fines
• KYC complexity (FATF/FATCA) and
inconsistencies across jurisdictions
• Cumbersome, repetitive and inefficient bilateral
exchanges
• Unavailability and poor quality of information
As a result the industry has witnessed a new development, the growth of the KYC ‘utility’
The Cost of KYC is becoming prohibitive

Wolfsberg/AML Questionnaire, USA PATRIOT Act Certs, Bank licenses, Certificates of Incorporation, MA/AA,

Validation - Rely on thoroughly validated information
• Transparency about what is & isn’t validated
• Fact-based checks on completeness, validity, accuracy, language and format
• Coherence checks between documents
• No judgmental or subjective checks (e.g. veracity of AML-related questions)
SWIFT publishes the information only if qualification requirements are met
