What do you think defines current era of banking? Established in around 2000 BC, banking is one of the oldest industries in the world.

Since Banking as a Service emerged, we are now in a new era of banking, in which financial services are integrated into non-financial retail products. As with any new innovation in the financial services world, BaaS comes with its own set of inherent risks, and these have been called out by regulators. BaaS could be revolutionary for not just banking, and fintech, and to do its potential justice, financial crime compliance should not be an afterthought. Key considerations should include: ❗ It is important that BaaS providers maintain a risk-based approach when it comes to ensuring compliance. 🧔 Every customer will come with their own risk profile, customer base, transaction volumes and varied products and services. ⚖️ Striking the right balance between instant customer experiences and achieving financial crime compliance Read here: https://hubs.li/Q02J2nzy0 #AML #BaaS #FCC #riskbasedapproach
