Customer Outreach Friction
When performing an initial Customer Due Diligence investigation for a prospective customer or carrying out a review of an existing customer, a bank or Financial Institution has to gather information on the customer to fulfil its Know Your Customer obligations. A lot of this information can be obtained from third-party data sources. However, some information has to be provided by the customer and this ‘customer outreach’ process can be a source of frustration for both the customer and the financial institution if this process is not managed properly.
In addition, customers are being confronted with a large diversity of information requests and KYC requirements. At present, there is still a total lack of alignment between national and international interpretations of AML and CFT regulations. This is particularly onerous for large multinational companies with multiple entities operating in different geographies. Even within one country, KYC requirements can vary considerably between individual FIs and even between the various departments of a single FI.
Here again is the challenge for banks and FIs to look for ways to streamline the customer outreach process and turn this into a positive customer experience.
