Key Industry Compliance Challenges Today
Ever increasing and
changing regulations
Significant costs in
complying with regulations
Penalties for non
compliance
All geographies / All types of
players impacted
Lots of duplication for
universal challenges
Lots of different, costly,
complex solutions
No competitive
advantage for banks
Community issues calling for community solutions …
SWIFT
Sanctions Screening
Why are Sanctions so complex?
40,000 names on lists
4 Billion fuzzy combinations
15.5 Billion $ fines levied on financial institutions for violation of sanctions regulations
1 Day
Average interval between sanctions list updates for banks active globally
-50%
Decrease in number of correspondent relationships from some US banks
+100%
Increase in alerts every 4 years due to increase in SDNs and transaction numbers
+20%
Yearly increase in names and aliases on US OFAC list
• Fines are getting bigger, but more interestingly:
– Cost of remediation exceeds amount of fine
– Includes limitation to business (e.g. no USD clearing)
– Regulators pay more attention to the quality of the screening
• Banks are terminating correspondent relationships due to:
– Risk factor (weak financial crime controls )
– Low return on relationship due to Cost of compliance
• Impacts large and small financial institutions
– Especially smaller FIs due to the ever growing requirements
– Large FIs face increased regulatory scrutiny
Sanctions impact
• Increasing pressure from
Regulators and Correspondents to
be sanctions compliant
• Available screening solutions
complex and costly to maintain
• Increasing challenges for low-
volume financial institutions
