Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common compliance questions.
Outsourcing provides immediate access to a team of specialized experts without the high costs of recruitment, salaries, and ongoing training. It offers scalability to match your business needs and ensures you are always aligned with the latest, most complex regulatory changes across multiple jurisdictions—a significant challenge for most in-house teams.
AML (Anti-Money Laundering) is the broad framework of laws and procedures to prevent illegally obtained funds from entering the financial system. KYC (Know Your Customer) is a key part of AML, focusing specifically on verifying a customer's identity and assessing their risk. CTF (Counter-Terrorist Financing) refers to measures aimed at stopping the flow of funds to terrorist organizations. We handle all three interconnected areas.
PEPs (Politically Exposed Persons) are individuals who hold a prominent public function, making them more susceptible to involvement in bribery and corruption. Screening for PEPs is a regulatory requirement because their financial activities pose a higher risk. Our service includes comprehensive PEP screening to protect your business.
Yes, if your business operates in a regulated sector (like finance, real estate, or digital assets), AML compliance is mandatory regardless of size. Regulators expect all firms to have a proportional, risk-based approach. We specialize in creating cost-effective, scalable solutions that are right-sized for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
A risk-based approach means you don't treat every customer the same. Instead, you identify the specific money laundering and terrorist financing risks your business faces and apply compliance measures that are proportional to those risks. For example, high-risk customers undergo Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), while lower-risk customers go through standard Customer Due Diligence (CDD). This makes your compliance program more efficient and effective.
The penalties for non-compliance can be severe and multi-faceted. They include substantial financial fines from regulators, criminal charges for individuals involved, loss of business licenses, and significant, often irreversible, damage to your company's reputation. Proactive compliance is an investment in your business's long-term survival.
