Case Study: a leading international emerging markets investment service achieves streamlined AML onboarding with RiskScreen KYC360 Onboarding

How we transformed the onboarding process for an international emerging markets investment advisor

RiskScreen worked with a leading international emerging markets investment service, a specialist investment advisor founded in 2018. When a new MLRO joined, they found the firm’s onboarding was slow, manual, and not robust enough to meet AML requirements, especially as the business expanded into emerging markets and needed a process that could work seamlessly across UK and overseas offices.

RiskScreen implemented its onboarding solution, KYC360 Onboarding, after mapping requirements with stakeholders and tailoring workflows for different customer types, sectors, and jurisdictions. The new system improved collaboration, introduced flexible permissions, and enforced complete digital onboarding before submission, while also supporting ongoing sanctions and watchlist screening with alerts within 24 hours. It gave compliance teams better visibility and reporting, helped standardize KYC and KYB across the organization, and provided a single, comprehensive platform for current and future needs.
