Is your customer due diligence process set up for success?
Ensuring the safety of digital commerce and virtual asset management have become two of the most important points of conversation when it comes to global securities, specifically when it comes to anti-fraud, money-laundering (AML), counter-terrorism financing (CFT), and other such risks that continue to evolve alongside innovative technology.

Exploring Modern Due Diligence
Customer Due Diligence (CDD) is hardly a new practice, but as technology and markets continue to advance, the need for more complex, refined, and truly secure methods of identity verification has become paramount. Where manually recording details were once a valid way of staying on top of clients, transactions, and prospective employees, today’s framework is much faster moving and demanding, which presents higher risks than ever to business owners. In order to stay compliant with all due-diligence regulations, as well as to have the best safeguards in place against fraud, CFT, and AML purposes, partnering with a vetted digital compliance software provider is essential. Using highly-refined software like iComplyKYC makes it easy to handle core KYC protocols including:
- establishing a valid customer identity;
- evaluating and vetting an individual’s or entity’s activities and associations for alignment concerns (e.g. do they have known ties to terrorist or illicit organizations?); and
- assessing and establishing a robust risk profile vetted against a multitude of details including background, political exposure, illicit or fraudulent activities, sanctions and judicial orders, and more.
What About EDD?
Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) is an essential part of your fraud protection plan and is particularly vital for businesses or entities that frequently deal with high-value or high-risk transactions, PEPs, shell corporations, etc.
While standard due diligence will help with basic levels of identity verification, EDD provides a much more in-depth picture that allows you to move forward confidently and keep a vigilant watch over your existing and prospective customers.
Using iComply’s modular suite of KYC programming makes it easy to conduct both CDD and EDD checks quickly and efficiently, with monitoring algorithms alerting you to any sudden changes, important risk events, and need-to-know updates within a matter of minutes.
