How does KYC Portal help businesses remain compliant?
Due diligence requires that you not only keep your processes updated with new regulations, but also ensuring that you are compliant with all your past subjects. KYC Portal allows you to focus on the manual tasks that need to be done, as it will automatically alert you when there is something that needs looking into through notifications. Notifications keep an overview of all that needs to be done in a timely and real-time fashion. Instant alerts on risk exposure, missing documentation based on real-time data, instant alerts on AML issues, real-time alerts on the exposure of PEPs, sanctions and similar data sets, upcoming reviews, and many more aspects that it would be impossible to manage all manually.
