      Growing regulatory demands are an increasing obstacle for organisations striving to comply with AML legislation.

      Inadequate KYC processes burden compliance teams with slow, disorganised, highly inefficient time-consuming and expensive procedures, leading to a poor client onboarding experience.

      Factors driving AML compliance costs

      Complex Regulations and Laws

      Complex regulations with ever evolving changes leading to repeated data checking and validation resulting in backlogs.

      Poor Data Management

      Scattered data and documentation means countless interactions, duplication of effort and a poor user and customer experience.

      Manual Processes

      Highly dependent on manual review and intervention, leading to errors and requiring additional checks adding further costs.

      The solution

      Sapphirus is an end-to-end KYC/CDD automation platform for customer onboarding, remediation and continuous KYC, ensuring faster, more accurate and highly cost-efficient compliance processes.
