Screening
Why is screening important?
To identify and reduce potential risks linked with transactions and clients, screening is a crucial activity in financial institutions. Financial institutions can avoid illicit actions like fraud and corruption by screening their clients to verify that they adhere to anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism funding (CTF) rules. Identifying politically exposed individuals (PEPs) and high-risk individuals or entities, as well as determining whether their financial activities are legal, is another benefit that screening offers banks.Without adequate screening, financial institutions could be subject to serious financial and reputational risks, which could lead to fines, lost revenue, and reputational harm.
