The rising complexity of AML checks for cross-border payments in Asia

I'm curious how others are navigating the increasingly stringent AML/KYC requirements, especially for firms operating across multiple Asian jurisdictions. It feels like every quarter there's a new layer of compliance, and the landscape for identifying red flags in transaction monitoring, particularly for smaller, less traditional payment corridors, is just getting more opaque. Are firms seeing significant increases in operational costs to manage this, or are there more streamlined tech solutions emerging that don't involve a full rip-and-replace of legacy systems? I'm particularly interested in how this impacts the speed and cost of moving capital between, say, Hong Kong and Vietnam, or even within the ASEAN bloc, where the regulatory frameworks can differ quite a bit.
