By leveraging iDenfy’s solution, SupplierPlus will be enabled to automate compliance and ensure a straightforward customer onboarding process.

As per information provided in the company’s press release, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) states that USD 281 billion are laundered on a yearly basis, oftentimes through means of shell company schemes and trade-based fraud. Furthermore, according to iDenfy, regulations are increasingly complicated and create new challenges for regulated entities. As a result, the company believes that following a strict fraud prevention programme that requires AI-powered AML solutions can help with ensuring compliance, preventing fraud, and helping companies detect illegitimate transactions attempts.

As SupplierPlus is in agreement with this type of approach, the company made the decision to extend its fraud prevention system’s scope by partnering with iDenfy and decided to automate and simplify compliance by having iDenfy carry out screening and monitoring for the prevention of illicit activities. As a result, the company is now leveraging iDenfy’s AML Screening services both when onboarding new clients and when monitoring compliance.
