pep&sanctionlistscreening
Screening for international sanctions and PEP lists is mandatory in sectors such as asset management, crypto, igaming, business & risk intelligence, finance, banking, insurance, accountancy, fintech and real estate business.
Screenings are expected to occur multiple times throughout the customer lifecycle. So not just once in the Know Your Customer (KYC) procedure, but at every business-relevant moment. Starting with customer onboarding, continuing for every major financial transaction and again over time. Bluem enables companies to meet regulatory requirements while keeping costs under control.

Global sanctions

Financial and other institutions that, in a professional capacity or on a commercial basis, provide services specifically listed in the Wwft must notify any unusual transactions to FIU-the Netherlands. The Wwft also lists indicators to determine what unusual transactions exactly are
Under the Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Prevention) Act (Wwft), entities are under an obligation to report unusual transactions, both completed and intended transactions. Any entity that fails to do so is in breach of the Wwft.
The identity verification process requires the collection of information such as names, addresses, dates of birth, and official company documentation. Beneficial ownership verification: The CDD process should extend to the beneficial ownership of customer entities.
For certain customers and transactions it is sufficient to conduct simplified customer due diligence under Section 6 of the Wwft. The conclusion that simplified customer due diligence is appropriate will always be based on a risk assessment.
In the Netherlands, the supervisory authority responsible for compliance with the Wwft is the Netherlands Bank (DNB), the AFM, the Financial Supervision Office (BFT), the Tax and Customs Administration (Belastingdienst Bureau) and the Public Prosecution Service.
