Fenergo is the digital enabler of client and regulatory technology for financial services. It provides Client Lifecycle Management (CLM) software solutions for Financial Institutions including; Corporate & Institutional Banking, Commercial & Retail Banking, Asset Management, Private Banking & Wealth Management. 

Counting 70 global Financial Institutions as clients, its award-winning CLM suite digitally transforms how Financial Institutions manage clients; from initial onboarding to KYC/AML and regulatory compliance, to data management and ongoing lifecycle KYC reviews and refreshes. Fenergo CLM empowers financial institutions to deliver a faster, compliant and digital customer experience while achieving a single client view across channels, products, business lines and jurisdictions.

Globally, the total value of financial penalties issued by regulators to financial institutions for AML and data privacy breaches reached approximately $5.4 billion, a 49% decrease in value compared to the year prior. 

EMEA saw a big increase in the value of financial penalties at $3.4 billion, up from $1 billion in 2020 . French regulators issued the highest value enforcement action of the year to a Swiss bank at $2 billion, followed by the UK ($688 million), Netherlands ($577 million) and Bahrain ($50.5 million).

And the reasons? Fenergo’s global Director of Financial Crime, Rachel Woolley suggests the impact of the pandemic is partly to blame for the general decline in value: “Regulators weren’t able to initiate as many on-premise investigations in the last two years which has likely had a knock-on effect on enforcement actions.”

Financial Institution Enforcement Actions: Implications of a COVID Climate

Fenergo and PwC have joined forces to deliver client onboarding, KYC and refresh operations as managed services to address the ongoing KYC challenge.

The financial services industry is in agreement that meeting compliance requirements and deadlines impact their ability to onboard clients quickly and efficiently. Worryingly, the compliance challenge is still being solved by fully manual processes by nearly a quarter of firms.

Before those firms can implement transformative technology, they need to first look inwards at their processes and procedures and begin to change from the inside out. Essentially, for complex issues such as cross-jurisdictional KYC requirements, financial institutions should ensure their house is tidy before inviting someone inside.

In this webinar, we will discuss:

- The challenges that manual compliance processes create
- Our step-by-step guide to effective KYC operations
- The journey beyond compliance
- The efficiencies you can gain from a single client view

Meet the Speakers:
- Joe Dunphy, Global Head of Strategy & Corporate Development, Fenergo
- Stuart Croft, Director, PwC

KYC Done Differently: The Step-by-Step Guide to Effective Client Journeys

Mid-tier and smaller banks are often at a technological disadvantage compared to bigger banks with deeper pockets. A veritable David and Goliath situation.

As a result, we’re seeing a wave of consolidation taking place in the industry, with mid-tier banks combining to pool technology resources to compete for market space. But where does that leave the rest of the mid-tier banking market?

Together, we’ll explore:  
- The current trends and drivers of digitalizing the customer experience 
- How mid-tier banks are competing on customer experience today 
- The core pain points facing mid-tier banks. Is it technology, integration, data, compliance?

We’ll showcase: 
- An optimal business model for solving compliance, data and customer journey workflows
- The ideal mix of technologies that can be delivered in a SaaS model

- Niall Twomey, Chief Technology Officer, Fenergo

Powering Digital Compliant Client Lifecycle Journeys with AI

Digitally Transforming KYC & Onboarding in the Cloud

In 2020, fines for non-compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Know your Customer (KYC), data privacy and MiFID regulations against financial institutions and individuals totalled $10.6 billion, rising 27% from the year before.

Penalties against financial institutions for compliance breaches are rising in volume and value and 2020 was the second highest year in these respects for enforcement actions. The number of fines aimed at individuals has also increased during 2020, hinting towards a new trend where more individuals are being held accountable for compliance breaches. Will this along with whistleblowing incentives and a widening of the net with regards to the law impact the unrelenting rise in financial crime?  

On this webinar, we will uncover the key findings and trends emerging from Fenergo’s annual financial industry fines report. Register now to join the debate with our special guests and Fenergo panellists including financial crime expert, Graham Barrow from The Dark Money Files, Jeremy Kuester, Counsel at White & Case and previously at the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and Rachel Woolley, Global Director of Financial Crime at Fenergo.

Key findings for discussion include:

- Landmark action against Goldman Sachs totalling $6.8 billion (from multiple regulators) for its involvement in 1MBD scandal

- Major Australian bank fined almost $1bn for its money laundering scandal with links to serious crimes

- In 2019 nine fines amounting to $2.4 billion were issued by US regulators to foreign banks (UK and Italy) for sanctions violations. This year there were just two significant sanctions fines issued by UK and USA regulators totalling $76 million to banks headquartered in UK and South Korea

- Individuals were fined $89 million for AML and MIFID breaches.

Optimizing KYC for Faster Onboarding & Better Customer Relationships

Regulatory change management has been a constant requirement for many North American financial institutions over the last few years. And it doesn’t look like it’s abating.

Rules around financial crime will continue to be a focus given the Anti-Money Laundering Act 2020, as the recent FinCEN leaks call into question the ‘effectiveness’ of financial crime and compliance programs. Meanwhile, data privacy rules across different States are set to mushroom, while new rules around sustainable finance are expected to jump up the regulatory and board agendas in the coming years.

Join us as we map out what the Regulatory Roadmap will look like over the next three years –and explore what North American financial institutions need to do to beef up their compliance processes and procedures.

In this webinar, we’ll examine:

- The 3-year regulatory roadmap of financial crime and compliance rules
- AML / KYC Financial Crime Compliance
- US Data Privacy Rules
- Sustainable Finance

The Future of Banking & Regulatory Impact in North America, What to Expect.

No one truly knew the scale of money laundering and suspicious transactions activity that takes place every day across mainstream banking until the FinCEN files were leaked to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). 

This highly damaging treasure trove of Suspicious Activity Report (SAR)s (which had been filed for over a decade) with the United States - Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) blew the lid right off the sectors ability to fight financial crime. It shone a bright cold light on the multiple failings of the worlds’ leading financial services brands, their general inability to stop money laundering and/or their potential desire to turn a blind eye to some of the worlds most corrupt players and rogue states. 

In all, an ICIJ analysis found, the “documents identify more than $2 trillion in transactions between 1999 and 2017 that were flagged by financial institutions’ internal compliance officers as possible money laundering or other criminal activity”. 

This leak only relates to a fraction of all SARs filed during the period. What are professionals to make of this? How should practitioners, regulators and governments react? Is this old news or new news? Can we reverse the damage done?

In this live webinar we will aim to answer your questions and to discuss: 
- What are the main issues with the FinCEN SARs?
- How does the FinCEN leak compare to the Paradise and Panama papers?
- How do we think investors, regulators & governments will react?
- What change has to take place now and why?
- What should banks do to stop financial criminals from using their firms for illicit purposes?
- Questions & Answers

The FinCEN Leaks: What Happens Next?
