In today’s banking and payments industry, new technologies have transformed our interactions, but they have also created new threats from criminals, terrorists, and sanctions evaders. Financial institutions must navigate a turbulent geopolitical landscape, where regulatory changes can render previously safe business partners sanctioned overnight. It has become crucial for institutions to verify the legitimacy of their business partners and transactions. The key to managing risk lies in harnessing the power of data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to gain actionable insights.
