Anti-Money Laundering

Anti-money laundering measures must be efficient and reliable and must be integrated in the information structure and processes of the company. Many financial institutions opt for a risk-oriented approach in the classification of transactions, and the control of clarifications through an automatic workflow.

The MLDS money laundering detection system provides standards that put into effect the risk-oriented approach and workflow in all processes.
