Why Financial Firms are Adopting a Perpetual KYC Approach

Published on Jun 07, 2024

The complex regulatory landscape and threat of harsher enforcement actions are forcing firms to review their compliance processes. It is crucial for firms to dynamically maintain accurate customer information as client risk profiles can change quickly. 

Benefits of Automation 

An automated approach can increase operational efficiencies and scalability.  It can also free up staff from burdensome repetitive work and allow them to focus on core business activities. However, there are a variety of challenges for firms considering this transition. These include:  

  • Reliance on external data sources with unknown reliability  
  • Difficulty tracking the changing risk profile for a large volume of clients  
  • Customers being less willing to provide information after initial onboarding  

Manual KYC reviews are costly and labour intensive. The industry is moving towards an automated approach to streamline these reviews. Our CLM solution frees up staff from burdensome manual tasks, allowing them to focus on tasks more aligned with core business activity. As a result, companies can shift from periodic review to event-driven review and benefit from operational efferences and enhanced customer experience.
