Client Overview
The client is a large regional full service bank, with offices across the United States. Includes an extensive portfolio of value-added solutions for customers, including investment banking, personal trust, capital markets, global treasury management, transaction banking and other services.
Business Challenges
With multiple business lines and 500,000 new accounts annually, this regional bank required a high number of full-time employees (FTEs) and temporary staff to handle the workload involved with risk screening. They were also performing ongoing monitoring for over 2 million portfolios, a process resulting in high false-positive rates and a slow decision process. Under pressure from regulators, the bank needed a solution to support different internal groups’ requirements and integrate seamlessly with current transaction monitoring and case management systems.
Solution Highlights
- The RDC solution provides the ability to screen and continually monitor all customers and transactors more efficiently against the broadest database of sanctions, PEPs and Adverse Media. RDC was able to streamline onboarding with decision-ready, dynamic due diligence reports and enhance protection with ongoing monitoring of the clients’ portfolios for material changes.
- The compliance workflow process was simplified with end-to-end technology, quickly and easily configurable to the clients’ needs, and the addition of RDC analysts as the first line of investigations.
- In partnering with RDC, the client reduced their internal analyst resources workload by 90%, increased productivity and speed to decision by 50% and saved the client over $1M+ in annualized expenses with substantially better protection.
Benefits
