Managed services for financial crime compliance

A new approach for addressing fast-changing regulatory risks.

As digital transactions increase, so do the opportunities for financial crime, and that means more regulatory scrutiny on your procedures. How can you meet your Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance obligations at a lower cost, while also protecting your reputation, inspiring stakeholder trust, and improving the customer and employee experience?

This is the opportunity for today’s compliance organizations, but it may seem like the more resources you allocate to it, the more cumbersome your processes become.

That’s because AML compliance is not just a capacity problem. It’s also a data problem.

Drawing from market-leading expertise in financial crime and compliance, KPMG Managed Services can cover AML-related operations in areas from regulatory remediations to loan processing to surge support. Our services include:

  • Know Your Customer On Demand
    When it comes to Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance, operations are often fraught with challenges, from fragmented data and non-standardized processes to high-volume manual activities and changing regulations.

    Learn how Know Your Customer on Demand can bring a new approach to your KYC operations, delivering significant cost savings, faster case resolution, and higher stakeholder trust.

  • Transaction monitoring
    From digital wallets to crypto to cross-border payments, digital innovation is changing the way transactions are executed—and also the opportunities for compromise.

    As a result, regulations are becoming increasingly strict, and transaction monitoring is a growing company expense. In many financial institutions, for example, about 10 percent of transactions are flagged each month for potential suspicious activity, requiring time-consuming investigations that add nothing to the bottom line.

KPMG Managed Services can take responsibility for the operational aspects of transaction monitoring, while you retain decision-making authority and responsibility for Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) filings. We offer a detailed, repeatable process that both our clients and regulators can trust, including:

  • Real-time detection of transactional anomalies
  • Smart alert classification for faster, more accurate review
  • Data-driven analytics and tailored insights
  • Improved compliance at a lower cost.
