Understanding the limitations of traditional KYB methods

KYB

Traditional Know Your Business (KYB) methods, while foundational, often fall short due to their reliance on static, point-in-time data.

According to RelyComply, this creates a gap in capturing dynamic changes and complex business relationships that are increasingly crucial in today’s fast-paced market.

Moreover, manual processes involved in conventional KYB methods can lead to inconsistencies, prolonged onboarding times, and errors, compounded by a lack of integration with other vital data sources.

Addressing these challenges, RelyComply introduces an advanced, AI-powered platform that revitalises KYB processes. By automating and expanding the scope of data collection, RelyComply seamlessly integrates with existing systems to provide a dynamic and comprehensive risk profile for each business entity. This approach not only speeds up the process but also enhances accuracy and effectiveness in identifying potential risks.

To construct detailed risk profiles, RelyComply utilises unconventional data sources such as social media and adverse media screening. These techniques provide insights into undisclosed relationships, lifestyle inconsistencies, and potential reputational risks that are not visible through traditional methods.

By continuously scanning global news sources, industry publications, and even deep web content, RelyComply ensures that businesses are aware of any adverse information that might affect their operations or reputation.

Delving deeper, RelyComply’s platform performs thorough investigations into beneficial ownership and financial behaviours. By mapping complex ownership structures and monitoring transaction patterns, the platform can uncover hidden ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs) and identify suspicious financial activities. This comprehensive approach allows for continuous risk assessment and aids in the detection of potential financial crimes or irregularities.

In a global economy, understanding cross-border risks is paramount. RelyComply’s advanced KYB solutions incorporate real-time geopolitical data and regulatory mappings to ensure compliance and accuracy across different jurisdictions. This helps in managing the nuances of international business risk assessments effectively.

RelyComply goes beyond periodic reviews to offer real-time, continuous monitoring of business entities. This dynamic risk scoring and network analysis facilitates a deeper understanding of the relationships and transactions that define modern businesses, highlighting potential risks in a timely manner.

While implementing these advanced KYB techniques, RelyComply ensures compliance with data privacy standards like GDPR and works continuously to minimize false positives. The platform is designed for easy integration into existing AML infrastructures, promoting a holistic approach to risk management by merging KYB data with other AML processes for a comprehensive view.
