Cross-Border Payments & Perpetual KYC
Seeing a lot of talk about perpetual KYC models, especially with the increased scrutiny on cross-border payments. It's one thing to onboard a client with a solid KYB process, but maintaining that real-time risk profile for entities transacting globally, often through various payment rails, feels like a constant game of whack-a-mole. Anyone have experience with vendors or internal systems that are actually effective at flagging changes in beneficial ownership or suspicious transaction patterns before they become a major AML headache, particularly when dealing with correspondent banking relationships in less transparent jurisdictions?
It's definitely a monumental challenge, and the 'whack-a-mole' analogy is spot-on. We've explored some AI-driven solutions for continuous monitoring, which helps with the volume, but the data quality across different jurisdictions remains a major hurdle. Have you found any particular challenges with specific payment rails?
