According to Keith Berry, general manager of KYC at Moody’s Analytics, a key aim of the company is to enable organisations to understand risk, so they can make decisions with confidence. This is all the more poignant at a time when anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) teams withinan organisation receive an ever-increasing number of alerts, all of which need to be manually reviewed by analysts before an action is taken, like suspending or declining to open an account.

Breaking down barriers

When looking to deploy technology solutions, firms can face a myriad of barriers. Berry pointed to a recent research report Moody’s Analytics published where the company heard directly from risk and compliance professionals about the perceptions and understanding around perpetual KYC (pKYC). As firms start to explore automated, integrated workflows of data checks that occur in near real-time, Moody’s heard first-hand some of the barriers they face.
