KYC & AML
Compliance is a growing worrt

Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-


Money Laudering (AML), are regulatory
requirements imposed on regulated
financial institutions demanding they know
more about their clients, monitor their
transactions and report suspictious
activities to authorities

KYC and AML are a direct by product of


9/11 and with each financial crisis overall
compliance, internal control and internal
audit have been gaining wait in the cost of
doing business for financial institutions.

Major reason: most of the work is done


manually and still lacks automation.
KYC & AML
Textbook exemple of AI / MLS application in Finance

Regulatory implications: Business implications:


• KYC and AML are key pillars of regulation • Do you understand what the tool is doing?
• Key responsability, can it be outsourced? • Key feature, can it be a supplier?
Onboarding and DigitalID
Having an ID is a human right

ID is a “public business” and


speed of adoption depends
on many factors. Without
official DigitalID there is no
real virtual economy.
Onboarding and DigitalID

Regulatory implications: Business implications:


• Cyber threats can destroy reputation • Legacy infrastructure
• IT systems are key – outsource? • Key feature – can it be provided by a supplier?

alternative credit scoring companies

Conversational interfaces

AI machines for several different customer


interacions

Infrastructure providers

Tech companies that give a turn key solution to


open a bank. (ex: Plaid and This is Bud)

Credit Scoring can leverage AI/MLS

Regulatory implications: Business implications:


• Outsourcing a key feature of banking business • Credit is a large space (personnal, auto, SME)
• Technical issue: how to avoid discrimination • Are machines enough? Expert input?
BaaS
Soon we’ll all be talking to machines

Regulatory implications: Business implications:


• We might argue if this is customer servicee • Call centres / branches are a huge cost for
or not institutions, automation is highly desired
• Who takes responsability for bad advice? • Machines will probably be more consistente and
maybe better at giving advice – higher prices?
BaaS
Build your own bank

Tech wise building a new bank is easy.
