Automated KYC Solution

Why your institution needs automated Vendor Management Software

The current pandemic and the ongoing geopolitical challenges that are being experienced worldwide have put pressure on educational institutions to ensure they have a sound vendor management and know your client (KYC) process in place to protect them from accepting or doing business with sanctioned individuals, groups, and countries globally.

On top of these real-time events that institutions need to respond to internationally, institutions current AML and KYC processes leave them exposed to risk due their archaic approach of identity verification that relies solely on hardcopy documentation. Institutions need to be concerned with these traditional methods as they leave them exposed to risk on a second-by-second basis as this method cannot confirm the legitimacy of a vendor accurately. With the majority of vendor payments processed through electronic bank mediums, institutions really do not have a clear view on who they are sending large-sum payment transfers to on a global scale.

Institutions need to find an alternative to address these gaps to protect themselves against financial criminals and from accepting payments from sanctioned countries as geopolitical concerns rise. Without these sound process and KYC checks in place, institutions are left liable to money laundering risk, fraudster attacks on large-sum transfers, regulator fines and a high impact on their reputational risk.

Thankfully with the latest advancements in payments technology from fintech’s entering the space, institutions now have innovative alternatives to making payments to their international vendor partners in a safe a secure way.
