Overview of the optics of KYCnow Monitoring

The importance of effective KYC monitoring in the modern financial world

Challenge of mandatory updates

As a BaFin-regulated company, the regular review of customer data, documents and information is essential to meet compliance requirements.

The Money Laundering Act (GwG) stipulates that customer data and documents must be checked at regular intervals, between two and 15 years, depending on the risk class of the customers.

However, traditional methods of periodic and event-driven monitoring are reaching their limits: they are often time-bound and dependent on external information. This can lead to important changes being overlooked and due diligence obligations being neglected.

FAQ about KYC monitoring

What is KYC monitoring and why is it important?

The key feature of our KYC monitoring is continuous monitoring, which enables a timely and accurate assessment of customer risk. Unlike periodic updates, which only provide snapshots and are often outdated, continuous monitoring allows for dynamic risk assessment and flexible management.

This system not only promotes compliance and reduces the risk of penalties, but also increases operational efficiency and lowers costs.

What data is monitored using KYC monitoring?

In total, our service monitors 36 data points in the following areas:

  • Masterdata Managment
  • Shareholders/Participations
  • Structural data
  • Economic rights
  • Functionaries
  • Contracts
  • Parent/Intermediate Companies

How does KYC monitoring improve compliance and minimize legal risks?

Although periodic and event-driven updates are important tools, they do not constitute true, continuous monitoring. They are either point-in-time or dependent on active information from third parties. These approaches can therefore have gaps – for example, if changes are not detected or reported in a timely manner.

KYC monitoring closes these gaps. By technically monitoring all relevant data fields and master data, deviations or changes can be immediately identified and categorized accordingly. This enables significantly more efficient and effective money laundering prevention than previous methods.

To what extent does KYC monitoring contribute to increased efficiency and cost reduction?

Under the Money Laundering Act, obliged entities are required to continuously monitor their customer information and ensure that transactions are consistent with the information held about the customer. Specifically, this means that all documents, data, or information that companies hold about their customers must be regularly reviewed for accuracy and up-to-dateness and updated as necessary.

These checks and updates take time and require personnel resources. KYC monitoring automates this process. Manual checks and controls are eliminated. Manual intervention is only required when a truly significant change occurs. This increases efficiency and reduces costs.

How quickly can KYC monitoring be implemented?

KYC monitoring is available via our API interface and the KYCnow frontend. We can activate the frontend monitoring for you within a few days. The API interface needs to be implemented within your company. This process takes approximately four weeks.
