Video on Key Components of Customer Due Diligence

When it comes to AML CFT, customer due diligence is a crucial element. Customer due diligence is a process of identifying the customers, verifying their identity, and evaluating the potential risk a customer may pose to the business before establishing a business relationship and onboarding such a customer.

CDD process aims to determine whether the business is vulnerable to financial crime risks when dealing with a person and what controls must be deployed to mitigate such risks.

The key components of Customer Due Diligence are as follows:

  1. KYC (Know Your Customer)
  2. Name Screening
  3. Customer Risk Assessment
  4. Enhanced Due Diligence
  5. Ongoing Monitoring

Customer due diligence is usually a pre-customer onboarding activity, followed by a regular review to ensure the customer’s original risk assessment remains valid. By applying Customer due diligence effectively, it can serve as a critical tool to protect businesses from financial criminals.
