The Know Your Client Analyst focuses on updating and completing customer files, periodic reviews and event driven reviews for the client in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. It is increasingly important that the client really knows all its customers well and that all customer data is extensively and carefully documented. This is the only way the client can offer its customers a trusted experience and relevant and expert advice across all channels. In addition, regulators are setting increasingly higher requirements for clear and accessible documentation of data. Regulators ensure that banks conduct responsible banking and estimate possible risks at an early stage. Good, complete and reconstruct customer files are essential in this respect.

Our clients have opted for a central approach to file creation and processing, using smarter systems and clear work instructions. The collection of documents and the provision of advice takes place at a central level, with ultimate responsibility for the customer at all times with the relationship manager. There is close cooperation at a central level with various departments such as Compliance, Legal and other involved parties.

In addition to good processes and systems, the behavior and discipline of all those involved is of crucial importance to the success of the Know Your Client (KYC) process.

Laws and regulations for banks have become noticeably stricter in recent years. This requires banks to take action themselves, for example by having their customer files organized and, in certain cases, saying goodbye to the customer. In this way, a bank not only lowers the risks itself, but also sends a signal to their customers that they are a solid and reliable bank. Organizing customer files mainly revolves around having risk acceptance and inventory (integrity), advice (appropriateness) and products (transparency) organized properly. To have files organized means that we will not be faced with unexpected risks and is therefore consistent with a moderate risk profile.
