01 The challenge
KYC, sanctions, risk scoring and approvals lived in separate systems with separate owners. Each onboarding meant a fourteen-step manual process and a multi-day wait, slowing deals and creating operational risk. Regulatory reporting was a monthly scramble with plenty of room for error.
02 What we did
- Rules and decision engine encoding the firm's compliance policy with full versioning and approval workflow
- Integrations with KYC providers, sanctions and PEP screening, internal risk models and the CRM
- Straight-through onboarding for cases that pass every check, with clear escalation queues for exceptions
- Automated regulatory reporting generated from the same audited data
- Immutable audit trail for every decision, data source and reviewer
03 The results
- Institutional onboarding reduced from days to hours
- Regulatory reporting fully automated
- No compliance failures since go-live
- Compliance engineering effort cut substantially
