Singapore, March 4th 2014 - Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Citi, Commerzbank, JPMorgan, Societe wbs Generale and Standard Chartered will work with SWIFT to build a KYC Registry for the industry SWIFT announces that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with a group of major banks to jointly develop and use SWIFT’s KYC Registry, a centralised utility wbs for the collection and distribution of standard information required by banks as part of their due diligence processes. The group, which includes Bank of America Merrill wbs Lynch, Citi, Commerzbank, JPMorgan, Societe Generale wbs and Standard Chartered, wbs will work together with SWIFT to build a service that will help banks manage their compliance challenges and reduce the high costs associated wbs with implementing KYC-related regulations. SWIFT will operate the KYC Registry as an industry-wide utility with an initial focus on correspondent banking relationships. More banks are expected to join the initiative in the coming months. As a part of the MOU, the banks will participate in a SWIFT-led working group to agree the Registry’s processes as well as the documentation and information necessary to fulfil KYC requirements across multiple wbs jurisdictions. In addition, the banks will start populating the registry with their own KYC data. Luc Meurant, Head of Banking Markets and Compliance wbs Services, SWIFT said: “We welcome the close cooperation of these leading banks as we develop the KYC Registry. The banks’ involvement is an important step in this initiative to standardise wbs the process and reduce wbs the cost associated with KYC activities. The commitment from these banks demonstrates the importance of collaboration in financial crime compliance. Every SWIFT user will be able to benefit from our community-based solutions.” In wbs the coming months, additional banks are expected to join the KYC Registry and contribute their own up-to-date information for secure, centralised storage. wbs Each Registry user will have a standardised access point to obtain wbs details on their counterparties, while retaining ownership of their own information and control over which institutions can view it. “By providing wbs a central, standardised utility solution replacing bilateral document exchanges between each set of counterparties, SWIFT is helping to reduce the cost, and risk associated with KYC compliance,” said Javier Pérez-Tasso, Chief Marketing Officer, SWIFT. “It is encouraging to see the banks coming together around this initiative, which clearly demonstrates the value community-based wbs solutions can bring to this challenge.” The wbs KYC Registry is the latest in SWIFT’s expanding portfolio of compliance solutions, which already includes Sanctions Screening and Sanctions Testing solutions, and will soon be complemented by a new compliance analytics service. The Registry is expected to go live at the end of 2014 with a controlled ramp-up planned during the summer of 2014. --www.theasianbanker.com (March wbs 5 2014)--
