Redeemer University College Selects KYC2020's DecisionIQ Solution for AML Compliance.
Redeemer University College selects DecisionIQ, KCY2020's next-generation sanction screening solution for its KYC List Screening requirement. "Our evaluation process included a number of solutions," said Tracy Van Dijk Director, Financial Services at Redeemer. "KYC2020's dedication to innovation and underlying subject matter expertise was apparent during the sales process. As any regulated entity knows, false positives create incredible inefficiency and frustration for staff. We really liked that KYC2020's DecisionIQ solution was easy to interface via email, delivered pass/fail screening decisions, and maintained auditable records. DecisionIQ has saved us a significant amount of manual work for our compliance function as compared with the other solutions we evaluated."
DecisionIQ uses probabilistic search algorithms to cast the widest net for false positives from over 900 lists which include Sanctions, Criminal, Politically Exposed Persons (PEP), and Heads of International Organizations (HIO). It then uses deterministic algorithms to review the search results much like a compliance officer would to arrive at a PASS, FAIL, or VERIFY decision. The VERIFY decisions are continuously reviewed to improve the machine learning models. A key to DecisionIQ success is its 'white-box' system design that maintains a logical and auditable 'proof of work' for each screening decision.
Customers may interface with DecisionIQ via API, online web interface, or as in the case of Redeemer, via email. Redeemer securely sends batch processing requests via email that are automatically handled and responded back via email. The email body contains summary information that alerts Redeemer if manual action or enhanced due diligence is required for any record.
"We are very happy to have the opportunity to work with Redeemer," says Rajeev Bahri, CFA, CAMS, Managing Director and Head of Product at KYC2020. "We recognize that non-financial institutions and emerging payments FinTech innovators do not have the time or staff resources for high-friction AML compliance workflows. Our solutions are designed around this requirement to help our customers achieve compliance effectively," said Bahri. "We like to think that we are moving our customers from the inherent in-efficiency of traditional 'screening' to the efficiency of 21st century sanction 'decisioning' systems."
