Firms will have to pay higher costs in case of AML breach
Understanding emerging technologies and alternative payment & transfer services is key
Strategic choice to be done between preventive measures and customer satisfaction
Increasing complexity level of transactions leading businesses to face higher risks
5
The anonymous nature of crypto-currency is raising regulators’ concerns
Businesses need to create infrastructures for cross-
channel detection of suspicious activities;
The more red flags are detected, the bigger the
inconveniences will be created to the customers;
The need to use emerging new technologies is key to
adapt to the new AML rules in an efficient way;
Lack of regulatory cross-countries regimes
convergence increase the AML directive complexity.
Impacts for the financial
services
Permissioned Blockchain as a cross-channel solution to
manage banks’ transactions in real-time;
Availability of historical record of all documents shared
and compliance activities undertaken for each client;
Tracking all participants data is a challenge that can be
thrown at the Blockchain with multiple parties;
All financial data recorded on the ledger could be easily
available to regulators and third parties entities.
