The group considered a number of specialist vendors before electing to implement Wynyard’s anti-money laundering solution. The software delivered immediate results for its compliance team, which identifed two instances where the software assisted them to identify suspicious clients that would not have otherwise been possible.
The frst case involved a new customer who was screened by Wynyard’s software. The screening results revealed that the customer was using an alias and was wanted in an offshore jurisdiction for allegedly committing fraud offences.

The software was able to show that the customer and the wanted individual were likely to be the same person, because it could match known aliases via dates of birth and pictures of the suspect. The group submitted a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR), which led to discussions between local authorities and those seeking the individual’s arrest in the overseas jurisdiction.
The second case involved a longstanding customer. The customer was screened by Wynyard’s software and the results revealed the customer’s name, date of birth and picture was a match for an
individual who had been charged with a bribery offence abroad and had fed that country prior to trial. A SAR was immediately submitted to the authorities on the grounds that their source of funds may have been criminally obtained.
The alerts generated by Wynyard’s software in both instances meant that the group was able to demonstrate compliance with anti-money laundering obligations, give law enforcement valuable intelligence and provide its management with a better understanding of their regulatory compliance risks.
