Let's dig in...
Insurance companies, like any other financial institution, are concerned about many types of fraud. With roughly 62% of firms reporting exposure to financial crime, money laundering in this sector is an ever-increasing problem globally. Primarily so for life insurance firms, who experience massive flows of funds into and out of their businesses. Most life insurance firms offer highly flexible policies and investment products which in turn offer opportunities to their customers to deposit and subsequently withdraw large amounts of cash with a negligeable reduction in value.
Consequently, governments and international authorities implement a range of regulations and issue global and regional sanctions lists. With the possibility of compliance penalties, insurance firms should ensure they understand their obligations and how to implement them as part of their AML policy to stay compliant with regulations for their specific region.
To ensure that their customers are well-intentioned, insurance companies must identify them through KYC procedures.
What is it?
An intuitive mobile messaging interface is one of the quickest methods of customer service and enables them to seamlessly interact and transact with organisations. This allows organisations to deliver services in the channels that customers prefer, as and when they need assistance. This also provides customers with a paperless solution and the added benefit for organisations of eliminating manual data entry on their side.
