Money Laundering is a global play of the dirty money and identifying and reporting these transactions is one of the major challenges of the banking sector. From benign tax-avoided income to terrorist finances, compliance officers face numerous challenges.

The best way to mitigate risk is to detect and manage problematic accounts before they become a risk. Performing a comprehensive identity verification check reduces risk from fraud, risk of breaking compliance rules, and risk from dealing with dirty money. Regtech partner plays a vital role in real-time monitoring of the comprehensive identity checks.
