We can help your institution remain compliant

The AML Customer Risk Rating process is the cornerstone of an effective AML compliance programme. An effective AML risk rating model is now expected to assess and define the level of risk associated with each customer in a way that can show that customer risk is understood:

  • in line with regulatory expectations;
  • in a robust, systematic way that can be adjusted and tailored ; and
  • can be documented, updated and demonstrated to key stakeholders.

We offer an end to end approach that helps you  

  • create, improve and update your customer risk rating model
  • calibrate your model using expert judgment and a statistical approach
  • implement a customer risk navigation tool to understand, analyze and demonstrate your customer risk rating model going forward
