Financial Crime Compliance and Risk Management

Regulatory compliance in finance and risk management remains a critical requirement for banks and financial institutions. But in today’s fast-evolving, digital-first landscape, merely complying is not enough—they must stay ahead of the curve.

For most financial organizations, financial crime risk management and regulatory compliance remain complex, inefficient, and costly processes. With the right strategy and processes, companies can enhance the productivity of their compliance operations, saving untold millions in avoided sanctions, fines, enforcement actions, and remediation costs.

As regulations and data continue to grow in volume and complexity, compliance teams need scalable financial crime compliance solutions to evolve with their organization’s needs. Automation and artificial intelligence (AI), when incorporated into current practices, can help firms eliminate errors, improve cost-efficiencies, and optimize resources. Meanwhile, carefully calibrated risk models can enhance customer experience, creating a swift and seamless onboarding process for low-risk customers, while enabling teams to focus on those cases that require a closer look.

Capgemini’s approach to finance and risk management arms compliance teams with the regulatory expertise, technology, and industry insights needed to streamline their anti-financial crime programs, thereby enhancing overall customer experience.

pKYC represents the new industry standard of KYC, making once static processes fully dynamic and adaptive.

Through the integration of advanced data capabilities, pKYC enables continuous, trigger-based risk monitoring of all customers. With this enhanced functionality, financial institutions can respond to events and behavior changes in real-time – allowing organizations to recognize and react to suspicious activity the moment it occurs.
