Anti-money Laundering Scenario 15: Electronic KYC Issues

We are excited to announce the release of our latest addition to our Anti-Money Laundering training suite – AML Scenario 15: Electronic KYC Issues.

This new scenario explores a familiar onboarding frustration: a client cannot complete the standard electronic identification checks because they don’t use a smartphone.

When a Client Can’t Use the ID App

What happens when a client is unable to complete the electronic identification checks required before work can begin? Knowing how to respond without frustrating a new client, or falling short of your AML obligations, is not always straightforward.

Our latest interactive AML scenario follows a junior fee earner working through the practical and regulatory options available when the usual onboarding technology isn’t an option.

Key takeaways include:

  • Client Onboarding Without an App – What options are open to a fee earner when a client cannot use the firm’s identification app.
  • What Counts as Reliable Verification – Understanding what makes a source of identification independent and reliable.
  • Relying on Third Parties – Whether Customer Due Diligence carried out by another regulated business can be relied upon.

The new scenario is available as a standalone online course or as part of our complete course suite of AML e-learning with all 15 scenarios for only £70.00 plus VAT.

Ensure you maintain your knowledge and understand how to apply AML techniques in day-to-day practice.
