Celent Case Study: Automating KYC Investigations with ABN AMRO

ABN AMRO is the winner of the Celent Model Risk Manager Award 2022 for Data, Analytics, and AI, enabled by Quantexa.

 

Banks around the world continue to struggle with complexities and inefficiencies in the know-your-customer (KYC) process, particularly for their corporate clients, who can have several subsidiaries, beneficial owners and hierarchies, business lines, and regional operations.

 

The Challenges of Legacy KYC Processes

Performing due diligence on a bank’s corporate clients to assess their financial crime risk has become a highly manual, inefficient, and ineffective process for many banks due to the severe limitations of legacy technology systems used in KYC.

 

Financial criminals exploit this weakness and evade detection by weaving complex networks of shell companies and corporate structures.

 

A key challenge in corporate KYC is the legacy technology in place, which struggles to deal with a range of data types, connect a bank’s internal data sets with external data sources, and analyze the data automatically and holistically.

 

Banks around the world are now exploring ways to improve automation and streamline KYC processes with the goal of improving internal business efficiency, strengthening regulatory compliance, and enhancing the overall client experience.
