Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)

Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)

EDD is designed to handle high-risk customers and large transactions including: (1) Any business in a country on the High-Risk Third Countries list; (2) Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) or their close circles, such as family members; (3) Companies that funded terrorist activities and blacklisted; (4) Private and correspondent banking; (5) Companies in sectors with a higher risk of money laundering, such as gambling: (6) Shell corporations. EDD procedures lower the chances of money laundering and terrorist financing through organizations by detecting and investigating high-risk customers and suspicious transactions.
