The Opportunity

A fast and efficient digital on boarding of non-face-to-face clients is imperative for international financial institutions, which are providing their service online. Current AML requirements adopted in Mauritius for non-face-to-face clients based on certified copies of ID documents will lead to a high abandonment rate (up to 95%) at on boarding of potential clients.

The 4th AML Directive (AMLD4), which was introduced in European Union in 2017 and considered a best practice in AML legislation globally, among other changes, proposes recognise “secure electronic copies of original documents as well as electronic assertions, attestations or credentials as valid means of identity (Article 17).”

For financial institutions operating globally or with global clients, the need to comply with regulations in different jurisdictions, which are inconsistent and often unclear, means that they end up requesting information that may not actually be required for a specific on boarding process.

We will provide innovative services of digital on-boarding assisting local and international financial institutions in fraud reduction and achieving a cross-border compliance in Anti-Money Laundering (‘AML’) and Know Your Customer (‘KYC’) supporting a diverse range of international Customer Due Diligence (‘CDD’) process, including Know Your Business (‘KYB’). We will be specifically targeting emerging markets such as Africa, Asia, South America and Middle East.
