What is ongoing monitoring?
Ongoing monitoring is a core part of AML compliance because customer risk does not stop at onboarding. A customer who looked low-risk during initial KYC may later show new behaviors, transaction patterns, profile changes, or screening results that require further review.
In this lesson, you’ll learn how ongoing monitoring helps compliance teams track customer risk over time and respond when something changes. We’ll look at how it supports a risk-based approach through KYC refreshes, sanctions and PEP screening, transaction monitoring, customer risk reassessments, and structured escalation.
Why watch this lesson?
Watch this video lesson to see how ongoing monitoring fits into real AML compliance work after onboarding. The session shows how compliance teams keep customer risk profiles current, review new activity, and respond when behavior, transactions, or screening results change.
This topic also connects to other AML Fundamentals lessons on customer due diligence, KYC refreshes, transaction monitoring, screening, escalation, and financial crime risk management.
This video lesson is part of the full AML Fundamentals course, where you can explore the broader AML framework, customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, and financial crime risks in practice.
