FTX Crash: How to Stay Safe in the “Perfect Storm”

BaFin, or the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority, is Germany’s financial regulator. It requires companies to conduct video interviews during remote verification as a part of AML obligations.&nbsp;

Germany is just one of several EU countries where the video interview is required. But while this procedure helps companies stay BaFin compliant, it’s not conducive to a satisfying user experience and results in lower conversion and loss of revenue.

With the right technology, however, you can eliminate the hassle. Join us to learn how to stay compliant with regulations while maintaining a smooth onboarding process.

No more barriers between new clients and your business! Learn how to reach the perfect balance between full compliance, onboarding speed, and fraud prevention.

Trading is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the world. The regulations frequently change, so staying up-to-date with all the latest laws and sanctions is essential for staying in business. Money laundering and terrorist financing add even more risk.&nbsp;

How to Orchestrate Your Verification Process

KYT or Know Your Transaction is a risk scoring and fraud prevention solution that allows you to monitor suspicious transactions (such as transfers, deposits and withdrawals) and protect yourself and your customers from fraudulent payments. Transactions that the monitoring system flag as suspicious need to be investigated to determine whether the alert is a legitimate hit or a false positive.

In this webinar, we’ll discuss improving your transaction monitoring techniques and building the risk scoring process with the help of Sumsub’s KYT solution.

KYT: How to Detect Fraudulent Transactions

Whether it’s casinos, sports betting, poker rooms, or any other type of online gambling, each has its own set of regulations. What is mandatory for all of them, however, is the KYC procedure.

KYС helps prevent fraud, fines and licence revocation. But if it isn’t done right and verification takes too long, you end up losing customers and revenue. At the same time, you need strong fraud defences to protect against chargeback fraud, multi-accounting schemes, and other fraudulent accounts. So how do you balance fraud protection and high conversion?

State of Identity Verification in Crypto Industry

The situation in the world has changed rapidly over the past months. For many people in Europe, life no longer resembles what it did at the start of this year. For global companies too, there is hardly such a thing as “business as usual” anymore. The unprecedented sanctions we’re seeing go far beyond AML, venturing into outright economic warfare.

But, what’s even to be expected on a policy level nowadays? And how can companies make wise decisions on de-risking long term without compromising their short-term strategies? These are just a few of the questions being asked by companies, especially in Fintech.

Since the situation remains unstable, Sumsub has teamed up with leading experts in fintech and regtech to discuss current events and their forecasts. Join our webinar to discuss:

Let’s see what these sanctions really mean for businesses and customers around the world!

Since the situation remains unstable, Sumsub has teamed up with leading experts to discuss what sanctions really mean and how to change policies according to the new reality. 

Risk Matrix: Sanctions & New High Risk

KYB stands for “know your business” and involves verifying businesses by screening companies and their beneficial owners. The procedure is mandatory for financial institutions and other AML-regulated entities (online payment services, online banking, crypto marketplaces and services, trading, marketplaces etc.)&nbsp;

Most companies don’t have enough resources or expertise to handle KYB checks on their own, as they often lack access to consolidated public resources of company information (global and local registries, watchlists, etc). Therefore, KYB is usually outsourced to compliance officers who perform it manually—a process that may take up to three working days (or 72 hours per company) due to the difficulty of collecting all of the required info and documentation.&nbsp;

In this webinar, we’ll discuss all the problems that may occur during business verification and show you how Sumsub’s KYB solution addresses them.&nbsp;

In just 40 minutes,&nbsp;we’ll cover:&nbsp;

-&nbsp;Use cases - who needs KYB checks and why? -&nbsp;What are the legal specifics of KYB checks? -&nbsp;Why are KYB checks so painful for businesses? -&nbsp;How to speed up onboarding by 24x and save your team’s resources with Sumsub’s KYB solution

-&nbsp;EiDAS, the EU Digital Finance Package, &amp; National Electronic ID systems.&nbsp;Will we see open-access governmental ID systems working through smart wallets? How will this work together with EiDAS and similar instruments? We’ll go over the practical aspects.

-&nbsp;The European Banking Authority’s public consultation&nbsp;on its draft guidelines on the use of remote customer onboarding solutions.
