How Pandora Intelligence can help you

Actual event from a financial institution

After requesting opening of a corporate bank account, a new customer went through the KYC and KYB processes and got approved for being granted access to such service. After some suspicious activity raised attention on the case, analysts decided to revisit and reassess the profile, including the transactions performed via the bank account. After several days of collecting relevant information it came to light that this customer was a money mule and was laundering money through dummy organizations. Despite the volume of small incoming transactions and large outgoing transactions, monitoring rules weren’t triggered as it is a common transaction profile for companies, which was the purpose of opening a corporate account instead of a private one. After registering the bank account the customer opened similar accounts in other banks for the same dummy organization in order to spread and minimize the number of transactions on each bank account.

How Customer Due Diligence would have helped

To guarantee a swift and risk-free onboarding, information from a broad range of sources is analyzed to validate the identity of new coming customers. Simultaneously the same process is applied to organization for which the account is requested (only relevant for corporate accounts). Both processes are part of one same and single case which determines the risk level of the customer. The case provides an overview of people, organizations stakeholders, their involvement and relation with specific activities, goods or other people, but also their presence in sanctions lists, their relation with PEPs, and more. Based on the automatically generated picture, the analyst can make its decisions. After being onboarded as customer, and based on the risk level, the customer profile can be proactively monitored for changes. Changes impacting the risk level of the customer will trigger an alert, supporting the analysts on prioritizing their work.
