Verification is completed before a customer can transact, save for limited, risk-assessed exceptions permitted by law.
4. Ongoing monitoring & refresh
We keep customer information current and re-verify on a risk-sensitive basis and on trigger events, such as significant changes in behaviour or a screening alert.
