What is AML for Payment Service Providers?
For payment service providers (PSPs), Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CTF) compliance are vital legal obligations. These regulations are designed to prevent the misuse of financial systems, including transactions, for concealing illegally obtained funds or financing illicit activities.
PSPs must perform specific checks on both clients and transactions to establish relationships and continuously monitor these interactions. This safeguards your financial operations from being exploited by individuals involved in financial crime.
Ensuring PSP Compliance with AML & CTF
While specific AML regulations may vary depending on your jurisdiction, the core principles generally require PSPs to thoroughly verify the identities of clients and transactions. This typically involves the customary Know Your Customer (KYC) and Due Diligence procedures.
Furthermore, PSPs are mandated to screen all clients and transactions against international Sanctions Lists. These lists encompass individuals, organizations, and entities linked to illegal activities such as money laundering, terrorism, and other financial crimes.
This process, known as Sanction Screening, is a critical aspect of ensuring AML compliance for payment service providers. At ZenDetect, we specialize in automating your Sanction List screening, allowing you to focus on providing seamless financial services while we handle your AML compliance needs.
Before establishing any relationship or processing a transaction, AML compliance requires PSPs to:
Ongoing monitoring is pivotal in the financial industry. Often, PSPs perform Sanction Screening only once, usually at the start of a relationship or transaction, or sporadically due to the complexity of the process.
