What does the rise in hybrid working mean for AML compliance?

What does the rise in hybrid working mean for AML compliance?

For many years now, electronic verification (EV) has been seen as the most reliable and robust way of completing AML checks, with regulators across the world pushing firms to use it as a preferred solution.

And now, as a result of the pandemic, not only is EV the most reliable option, but it is also the only viable one.

Unlike manual checks, which are time consuming and open to error, electronic verification is quick, secure and reliable, offering a consistent approach to AML procedures. 

By using cloud-based technology, electronic AML platforms offer a quick, easy and secure way for regulated businesses to not only run full AML checks from the office, remotely or a mix of the two, but also, to ensure all record keeping is up to date and fully compliant.

The SmartSearch Index - Electronic Verification Uncovered III
Financial crime such as money laundering and sanctions breaches continue to damage the UK economy and society. In September 2023, for the third consecutive year, SmartSearch surveyed decision-makers in 500 regulated UK businesses across finance, accountancy, legal and property sectors on a range of digital compliance issues. The campaign highlights the digital compliance issues, inefficiencies and shortfalls that are exposing regulated firms to debilitating fines and reputational damage. Its objective is to explore attitudes and approaches of regulated firms across the UK in relation to compliance and electronic identity (ID) verification.
