Overcome the 'High-Risk' Perception of Cross-Border Payments
Tame the perception of cross-border payments as "high risk" with software and infrastructure that enable you to safely, efficiently and profitably support foreign financial institutions making payments through you.
Payall has transformed the "high-risk" nature of cross-border payments. You have full transparency into disburser and payment details—including data, documents and other artifacts—before payments are authorized. You can even integrate your own custom rules, compliance requirements and standard operating procedures into Originating Institutions’ workflows.
No payment can be authorized unless it passes both the Originating Institution’s and the Clearing Institution's requirements.
Payall further supports minimizing your cross-border payment risk by fully automating your manual risk, compliance and standard operating procedure processes with purpose-built software. In addition to reducing human error (saving time and expense), you’ll have absolute confidence that 100% of the processes you submitted for regulator approval are systemically executed.
And, for the first time ever, you’ll be certain your regulatory documentation fully aligns with your stated practices, eliminating a frequently cited and major exam exception that can cost financial institutions material fines and may even force them to exit cross-border payments.
There’s simply no better way to operate your Clearing Institution business safely and efficiently!
Why Regulators Classify Cross-Border Payments as “High Risk”
Historically, Clearing Institutions haven’t had ready access to information to verify the critical details of cross-border payments, so they’ve had to “trust” their foreign financial institution partners to execute Know Your Customer, anti-money-laundering and other practices to ensure compliance.
But even if a Clearing Institution can access data to substantiate payments prior to processing, there’s no “bank system” to accomplish this! To be clear, no core bank, digital bank or compliance platform enables a correspondent bank in one country to board, execute Know Your Customer and real-time Know Your Transaction on every foreign-initiated transaction from every foreign disburser that isn’t its customer.
This 50+ year-old legacy has forced reliance on foreign Originating Institutions to verify the economic legitimacy of transactions, including disburser details, the source of funds and sanctions checks conducted. And, Know Your Transaction has only been possible post-transaction—after it’s too late to prevent funds getting into the hands of money launderers, terrorists and other criminals.
In addition, Clearing Institutions' internal tasks are largely manual, resulting in a cross-border payments system that’s not only massively dysfunctional but also foundationally weak.
It's these systemic deficiencies that have led regulators worldwide to classify cross-border payments as “high risk.”
Using Payall’s powerful XB Precision KYT™, Clearing Institutions can execute risk rules before payments are processed for prevention, compliance and safety. They also can have real-time access to every payment’s full contextual data and supporting artifacts. And, the core capabilities of Payall’s global, single-shared platform enable full "see-through" (that is, Know Your Customer’s Customers), enabling Clearing Institutions to use this critical data to directly execute their own sanctions checks, electronic ID verifications and the full range of common verifications of the foreign entity.
Truly transformational!
