ADDRESSING THE AFC BUSINESS CHALLENGES
Firms are facing huge pressure to improve their Anti-Financial Crime (AFC) capabilities in 2019 across fraud, cyber, AML, sanctions, data security, ABAC.
The combination of new and evolving regulation, firms’ operational complexity and increases in cyber crime have led to dissatisfied clients, poor risk management, massive compliance costs and increased competition from challenger banks.
This situation is only getting worse as shortage of expertise, cultural resistance to change, and depleted internal resources create barriers to digital transformation in a fragmented solutions marketplace.
Maturing Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is being positioned as ‘the answer’ – some estimating it can reduce costs in AFC by as much as 47%.*
