Due Diligence requirements
Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) compliance and Financial Crime Regulations place an obligation on financial services firms to carry out due diligence on customers and agents as part of their onboarding process - and then again at regular intervals.
The process starts with some basic ‘Know Your Customer’ checks, usually known as Simplified Due Diligence (SDD), with firms deemed ‘low’ risk usually proceeding to the final stages of onboarding without further checks or delay.
Inevitably some customers or agents will be categorised ‘normal’ or ‘high’ risk and will require more intensive risk assessment, for example for financial crime. This means broader Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and, for some, a specialist onsite review often called Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD).
CAM is a specialist regtech service developed for Banks, Crypto Assets, Fintechs, Fund Administrators, Payment Institutions and other organisations that are required to onboard and undertake ongoing due diligence on firms, which are often customers or agents, that pose a regulatory compliance risk.
Using our service helps reduces the time and cost of Customer Due Diligence and Enhanced Due Diligence, improves the customer or Payment Services Agent experience and, with an interactive data reporting studio, provides deeper risk insight and business intelligence to enable smarter risk and compliance decisions.
