In the UK for every for every £1 caught by AML regulation, £999 is successfully laundered. It’s clear the current ways firms screen and monitor their customer relationships to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing isn’t working. Stephen Ball, VP of Sales & Marketing at Europos talks to FinTech Finance about the minefield of AML compliance and how to cross it using regulatory technology (RegTech).
He argues that:
- Compliance departments are faced with an ever-changing regulatory landscape in multiple jurisdictions and increasingly sophisticated criminals.
- Legacy systems with insufficient static data sets are not fit for purpose, often generating hours of manual work.
- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are ideal technologies for streamlining compliance as it allows compliance professionals to automate manual, low level and time-consuming tasks, whilst reducing false positives and the chance of human error.
