PITTSBURGH, PA – June 21, 2022 – As the threat of money laundering and terrorist financing continues to evolve in Australia and New Zealand, maintaining visibility into and ensuring sufficient information in an organisation’s customer portfolio is vital.
To that end, FinScan, a global leader in AML consulting and compliance solutions has joined forces with leading Australasian data and analytics provider illion to deliver a best-in-class, integrated AML platform for seamless and efficient watch list screening and ongoing customer due diligence.
illion provides consumer and commercial credit registries that form an important element of the Australia and New Zealand financial ecosystem. The company leverages these registries, which contain data on over 25 million individuals and over 2 million commercial entities, to provide end-to-end customer management solutions.
