Compliance with complex KYC requirements & Efficient Risk Management
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
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.
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.
Through structured KYC reviews, systematic customer identification and verification as well as our expertise in regulatory matters, risk management and process optimisation, we have been able to significantly simplify processes.
Additionally, our team developed automated workflows within Managed Services to compensate for capacity bottlenecks and enable scalable onboarding of international clients.
The result: A significant reduction in error rates, comprehensive documentation and noticeably more efficient review processes.
This is how measurable value is generated — for CREDION’s compliance, productivity and sustainable growth.
„The ongoing exchange with PwC on anti-financial crime issues helps to continuously increase efficiency and integrate updated best practices.“
