Recorded Webinar: Client onboarding – how developments in tech and automation can help optimise entity data management and improve KYC

1 October 2019

Financial services providers spend billions of dollars a year on Know Your Customer (KYC), client onboarding and due diligence. Yet even with vast investment, these processes rarely run smoothly. They also fall short of delivering a good client experience and fail to cut down on financial crime.

At the heart of the problem–and solution–is data. Organizations should have confidence that client data from multiple sources is accurate, continuously updated and available. Without taking the first step of getting your data right, you won’t gain meaningful information such as ownership structures and risk profiles. In addition, false positives will dominate your results and require significant manual intervention.

The current onboarding model is based on processes that are 90% people and 10% technology. It instead could be 90% technology and 10% people, a balance that will free up people’s time to focus on higher risks and make more valuable decisions.

The game changer is matching sourced data with trusted data using automation. De-duplicating and cleaning client data can make it more reliable and will reduce false positives, helping onboarding professionals deal with risk and combat financial crime more efficiently.

Listen to this webinar to find out:

  • Key challenges of KYC and onboarding programmes
  • The importance of getting your data right
  • Technology and solutions that can help
  • The impact of unstructured data and new technologies for compliance teams
