Saudi Arabia’s famous AI-powered enterprise solution Mozn expands its services to GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council).

How Saudi Arabia’s Mozn Ensures Compliance with AML/CFT Regulations

The key tool of Mozn that helps financial institutions detect compliance issues is its FOCAL AML.

Therefore, it is more suitable for regional banks in particular, whose major customer base comes from the local population.

FOCAL, Helps Counter Money Laundering and Financial Fraud in Following Three Ways

• It has more than 1300 PEPs and sanction lists that update automatically, allowing the banks and financial institutions to better run checks according to KYC/AML requirements.
• FOCAL uses data to assign a risk score to particular customers and then flags the suspicious ones. In this way, it also acts as a risk assessment tool and guides respective financial institutions on whether to do enhanced due diligence to further investigate the matter.
• Apart from an AML compliance solution, FOCAL also assists in fraud prevention by helping corroborate the details of the receiver’s account.

Ever-increasing economic opportunities in the Gulf region make it attractive to investors. However, this also adds to the risk of criminals who may use their illegal money to invest in businesses, calling for increased compliance with regulations to combat money laundering and financial fraud. AI-powered enterprise solutions like Mozn can offer substantial support to companies in filtering out criminals from their customers and pointing out suspicious transaction activities to report the case of possible financial fraud and crime. Such AI-powered tools are not only a great way to manage risk related to AML/KYC compliance but they also increase an organization’s efficiency by saving precious time and resources.
