The Problem

In assuring that KYC processes comply with the Bank Secrecy Act and other mandates, institutions face several challenges:

1) The need to adapt to custom policies and procedures
KYC is highly integrated with an institution's front-office, which continuously changes based on customer demographics; new product offerings; and financial, regulatory, and legal requirements.

2) The need for flexible customer risk scoring and classification
Institutions require flexibility to create risk models based on their operating exposure, customer demographics and product offerings. This approach reduces the compliance footprint on the vast majority of low-risk normal behavior.

3) The need to link internal data with external data
In order to "know" customers, institutions must integrate data they collect about their customers with data from external sources. These sources have numerous formats and access mechanisms. Moreover, new sources are coming online every month.

4) The need for an integrated investigative workflow
To meet compliance deadlines, institutions implemented application silos for CIP, EDD, KYC, Case Management, and regulatory reporting. The next step is to break down the walls between these silos with a composite view across applications. This enables institutions to improve the investigative process, reduce risk, and audit the entire relationship flow.

5) The need for consolidating data across dimensions
KYC requires consolidation of data across different product-specific transactional systems, customer-account systems, alert generation systems, investigation tools, and regulatory reporting systems. Regulatory requirements across geographical boundaries and product types often make it difficult to physically consolidate them.

The Solution

With Digital Harbor's KYC solution, information is intelligently related across transaction monitoring tools, customer account systems, and regulatory reporting systems - even the results of a Google or Lexis-Nexis search. This is achieved through collection of adequate data in the front-office, followed by investigation and continuous analysis and monitoring in the account maintenance cycle.

The Benefits

Digital Harbor KYC solutions are ideally suited to tracking, correlating and resolving issues across the multitude of systems financial institutions use.

Compliance investigators and analysts no longer have to go to multiple pages or systems to gather information related to an issue. Instead, they can see disparate information in a single view and create action plans and reminders for issues based on customizable criteria. Together, these capabilities enable institutions to:
  • Reduce operational risk associated with customers
  • Facilitate compliance and protect against fraud
  • Preserve the customer experience
  • Reduce costs by automating previously manual efforts
  • Provide visibility to management and compliance
