The importance of client activity data in the context of banks’ KYC programs and common pitfalls

How are banks tracking the various financial activities that their clients are executing via the products and services that they offer? Are they able to compare the
expected activities that their clients have indicated during the account opening process,
with the actual activities executed by their clients throughout the year? Are they able to
aggregate the total margins generated per client, across different business lines, and
compare it with the total onboarding costs for the same client?

White Paper : Why are Central Banks Interested in Digital Currency?

With a decrease in the use of cash, the objectives pursued by the Central Banks with an electronic and universally accessible form of money are to anticipate the disappearance of cash, create an efficient and cheap means of payment, and strengthen regulatory controls.

It is not a matter of “if” but a matter of “when”. Central Banks must define the objectives first, then get the design parameters right while carefully assessing the second order effects; and conduct thorough pilots before launching a Central Bank Digital Currency.

Bâle III : La cristallisation des tensions entre banques et régulateurs

Depuis plusieurs semaines, les banques font connaître leurs craintes sur la transposition des règles mondiales de solvabilité négociées dans le cadre du Comité de Bâle. La raison ?

Authentification forte des paiements : un délai supplémentaire à mettre à profit !

Initialement prévue le 14 septembre dernier, l’entrée en vigueur de l’obligation « d’authentification forte » a finalement été repoussée de 36 mois en France. Les acteurs concernés, à commencer par les banques, ont tout intérêt à tirer profit de ce délai supplémentaire. Car au cœur de l’authentification forte se joue la bataille de l’expérience client et de la sécurisation.
