AML Compliance Software Heralds a High-Tech Future for US Banks

Posted: Tuesday, October 11, 2022 at 10:20 AM CDT

Reykjavik, Iceland -- (SBWire) -- 10/11/2022 --Despite the fact that combating financial crime has been a priority for decades, it's estimated that less than 1% of the global flow of illicit cash is captured and stopped. However, that's a figure that it is hoped will rise significantly thanks to tech such as AML Compliance Software. When it comes to financial regulation and the costs of compliance, for most banks and financial institutions, anti-money laundering measures are by far the biggest expense. In response to this we have begun to see more RegTech firms offering a greater range of data-driven solutions to compliance issues. There has also been significant reform of the legislation that governs AML compliance, in particular the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020. It's these developments that are providing the hope that the 1% figure can be substantially increased.

The digitization and evolution of technology that have led us to innovation such as crypto and the greater use of online systems throughout financial services are also providing a new way forward when it comes to compliance for businesses that are operating under anti-money laundering regulation. AML Compliance Software in particular heralds a high-tech future for US banks and one that could be a lot simpler to navigate with the right technology in place. RegTech is what is already driving positive developments in AML compliance and, while there are some large organizations in this industry, much of it is made up of startups and smaller, innovative enterprises. RegTech firms are helping banks to comply with some of the biggest areas of anti-money laundering regulation, from Know Your Customer checks to monitoring and Suspicious Activity Reports.
