Case Study: KfW IPEX-Bank achieves EU AML compliance and real-time embargo monitoring with ACTICO Compliance Suite

KfW IPEX-Bank - Customer Case Study

KfW IPEX‑Bank, the KfW Bank Group’s unit for international project and export financing, faced new EU Anti‑Money Laundering and sanctions requirements and needed a solution to detect high‑risk persons, monitor embargoes, and oversee project and export financing. ACTICO won the bid to supply its Compliance Suite (including the MLDS anti‑money laundering module and Name Matching Customer module) to meet the bank’s functional and technical requirements.

ACTICO implemented the Compliance Suite with automated KYC/customer due‑diligence workflows, a Relationship Browser to visualize networks, name‑matching and embargo checks, and mobile/email notifications for hits. The solution automated documentation workflows to reduce missed information, made relationship networks and suspicious transactions easier to identify, and enabled faster, mobile clarification of embargo hits—helping KfW IPEX‑Bank comply with EU AML and sanction rules while improving compliance efficiency and real‑time monitoring.
