Overview of the webinar

Financial institutions and others in the payments ecosystem must comply with regulations related to due diligence of business customers, as well as ongoing monitoring of their portfolios. A strong KYC program also includes an assessment of business customer risk. How can financial institutions and processors effectively determine what the risks are and how to manage them? This session will provide guidance on assessing business customer risk both at onboarding and ongoing, as well as best practices for taking a risk-based approach to Know Your Customer (KYC) and Know Your Customers’ Customers (KYCC).

Who should attend?

  • Risk and compliance staff at banks
  • Payment Processors and Alternative Payment providers
  • Product managers at banks, Payment Processors and Alternative Payment providers
  • Financial intelligence Unit staff
  • Relationship managers at financial institutions who deal with higher-risk customers

Why should you attend?

Both banks and their regulators have been focusing on the issue of higher risk customers with differing points of view as to how to deal with them. There is no standard definition of what is “higher risk”. There seems to be guidance from some regulatory agencies that banks should establish prohibited customer categories and thus de-risk their portfolio. Join this session to learn best practices for managing higher risk business customers in order to protect your portfolio and avoid regulatory action.
