KYC / Compliance Process Optimization

Problem

KYC screening and sanctions checks (OFAC/EU lists) ran as separate, partly manual steps outside the daily transaction flow — creating compliance risk and duplicated effort.

Approach

1. 01Audited the existing KYC screening workflow against regulatory requirements and internal policy.
2. 02Embedded sanctions-list checks directly into daily transaction processing rather than as an after-the-fact review.
3. 03Standardized escalation paths and documentation for flagged cases.
4. 04Built structured Excel reporting so compliance officers could evidence every screening decision.

Outcome

Screening became a built-in step of transaction processing instead of a parallel task, reducing the risk of missed checks and giving the compliance team a clean audit trail.
