Four Pillars of Aml Compliance – Aml Partners
What are the 4 pillars of AML compliance? The pillars of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance form the foundational framework for financial institutions and other entities to effectively combat money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes. These pillars include: Customer Due Diligence (CDD): The process of verifying and understanding the identity of customers, assessing the risks they pose, and maintaining updated records of their information and activities. It involves gathering information on customers’ identities, understanding their financial behaviors, and assessing the potential risk of money laundering or other illicit activities. Transaction Monitoring: Implementing systems and procedures to monitor and analyze transactions in real-time to detect unusual or suspicious activities. This pillar involves setting up mechanisms to identify and report transactions that deviate from normal patterns, indicating potential money laundering or illicit behavior.
