Customer Risk Assessment
It’s the process of evaluating how likely a customer is to be involved in money laundering or financial crime, based on geography, behavior, and profile.
Risk scoring helps focus AML efforts on higher-risk customers, enabling efficient resource use and better regulatory compliance.
Key inputs include nationality, sector, transaction behavior, PEP status, and source of funds—combined to calculate a comprehensive risk score.
Customers are usually classified as low, medium, or high risk—each triggering different due diligence levels (SDD, CDD, or EDD).
High-risk clients require deeper verification (e.g., source of wealth), while low-risk clients undergo simpler checks with less frequent reviews.
Yes. Risk scores must be updated based on new behavior, sanctions hits, or external alerts to avoid outdated assumptions.
Automated tools like Sanction Scanner evaluate large customer volumes instantly, reducing manual errors and speeding up compliance workflows.
It means customer risk levels are continuously updated based on real-time data like transactions, sanctions updates, or behavioral shifts.
