The evolution of fraud techniques in financial crime<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The banking and insurance sectors are facing increasing challenges in validating transactions. Rapid technological advances, the growing number of different payment methods, the rise in daily transaction volumes, and the emergence of new types of virtual assets with economic value (such as cryptocurrencies) are placing ever<\/span>\u2011<\/span>greater pressure on compliance teams and the technological tools they use.\u00a0At the same time, the increasing sophistication of financial schemes makes financial crime harder to detect, leading to challenges such as high levels of\u00a0<\/span>false positives<\/span><\/b>\u00a0(alerts\u00a0created\u00a0marking a transaction as suspicious which, after investigation, is validated as legitimate\u00a0and real,\u00a0without any hint of illegality\/error) or rising operational costs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Organizations in sectors such as\u00a0<\/span>banking and insurance<\/span><\/b>\u00a0require more frequent and robust updates to their technological infrastructure to detect these techniques sooner and more efficiently. In this context, technological applications help ease the workload of professionals, offering automated workflows, transaction monitoring, AI solutions, and more.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

AML and KYC: the first line of defence against fraud<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Anti-Money Laundering<\/span><\/b>\u00a0(AML)\u00a0refers to the processes used to foresee and prevent fraudulent transactions involving funds of criminal origin, which are often disguised to appear legitimate. Many companies in\u00a0the\u00a0banking and insurance\u00a0sectors\u00a0are required to\u00a0follow strict regulations (European, for example) to prevent this type of activity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Know Your Customer\u00a0<\/span><\/b>(KYC) is a crucial\u00a0initial\u00a0step to\u00a0validate\u00a0customer legitimacy and combat financial crime. KYC enables organizations to collect and verify a customer\u2019s identity information when opening an account or\u00a0establishing\u00a0a business relationship\u2014for example,\u00a0validating\u00a0a passport or other identification document.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Risk verification and continuous monitoring (WLM + AMM)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

After the\u00a0initial\u00a0KYC validation,\u00a0additional\u00a0stages help prevent fraud and money laundering:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
