Due Diligence

Customer due diligence (CDD) is at the heart of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) initiatives, and is designed to help banks and financial institutions verify if customers are who they say they are, confirm they’re not on any prohibited lists and assess their risk factors. Put simply, CDD is the act of performing background checks on the customer to ensure that they are properly risk-assessed before being onboarded.
