6. Compliance – Sanctions
Regulation in the area of Financial Crime prevention and AML/CFT has never been so demanding. As a result, compliance-related costs are increasing and require more internal resources. At the same time, technology, automation of services and expertise have evolved in such a way that banks can outsource their compliance activities to realise significant efficiency gains. More than 400 banks worldwide have chosen to do so by implementing Sanctions Screening, the Swift solution for transactions screening. This session will give you a clear overview of the product and demonstrate how Swift’s Sanctions Screening can help you to address your institution’s compliance challenges.
7. Compliance – KYC
Regulatory compliance is a fact of life for financial institutions and correspondent banking has been heavily affected by a multitude of new requirements. High on the list is Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance, which refers to the due diligence activities that financial institutions must perform on their counterparties in order to do business with them. Swift has developed a global KYC Registry to help its users address this challenge. The main goal of this new service is to enable you to reduce complexity, increase transparency, save time and cut costs. It has been live since December 2014 and more than 2200 entities globally have already registered. Africa has been mentioned by some major correspondent banking players as a key region to be on the KYC Registry.
8. SwiftRef & BI
Data is playing an increasing role in business strategy. Reference data can be used to increase productivity and data accuracy and at the same time decrease costs in financial message processing. Up-to-date reference data help to automate transactions in the payments and securities business, and more recently are increasingly required for regulatory reporting. SwiftRef can offer a single source for all your reference data. Swift Business Intelligence (BI) continues to widen its scope to support business development across multiple market segments and geographies. Swift BI can help you to better understand your business and improve operational performance, as well as support your business’s product and growth strategy.
The session will look at how SwiftRef and the Swift BI can assist you in your business.
