Compliance with complex KYC requirements & Efficient Risk Management

About the company

CREDION is a well-established specialist in the field of sophisticated financial services. The company strategically assembles capital from multiple sources, including family offices, prominent entrepreneurs and high-ranking executives, to implement cutting-edge and innovative financing solutions.

CREDION has a clear focus on quality, discretion and strategic thinking, positioning it as a reliable partner for investors and borrowers

Initial situation

CREDION encountered significant challenges in implementing regulatory requirements, particularly in the area of Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance, as part of its daily operations. The KYC processes were costly and resource-intensive due to the multitude of legal requirements, international business relationships and complex ownership structures. At the same time, the need for clear, scalable procedures grew to ensure efficiency and precision in customer due diligence.

The challenge 

In order to meet the complex regulatory requirements of KYC checks, CREDION must ensure that all persons and documents involved are correctly identified and verified. The objective is to mitigate risk and safeguard clients interests.

As a young asset management company, CREDION has limited resources. Therefore, it deliberately relies on digital and automated processes to detect and mitigate risks early — efficiently, precisely and without overburdening its operational capacity.
