The date of birth is a potential ‘unchangeable’ parameter, even though it is not a full proof solution. Augmenting it with multiple addresses captured by bureaus like CIBIL to create a robust customer deduplication process and verification is of paramount importance. In the absence of above scenario, KYC compliance for each account would have no meaning.

Inadequate handling of alerts generated from the existing AML solution is one of the primary concerns here. The alleged AML norm violations are previously known and, hence, should be part of the alert generation rules set up (Indian Banks Association had issued comprehensive guidelines in this regard). While it is possible that some of the alerts would escape attention given the large number of alerts generated, the violations also amount to improper scrutiny of the alerts generated.

Banks should work towards rationalizing the alert scenarios built in the bank’s AML solution, suiting its requirements taking into account parameters such as bank profile, customer profile, past alert history, past reporting history etc. Such processes would gradually reduce the number of alerts getting enerated, thereby improving the efficiency in alert management. Even a conservative 20% reduction can have a huge impact on the way alerts are scrutinized. Further, the bank should carry out such ationalization process periodically, preferably once in a quarter. Banks should explore working with the AML solution providers and augmenting current framework through external consultants for false positive management / reduction.
