Introduction

Customer Due Diligence Services (CDD) are the procedures or processes used by financial organizations by performing background checks on customers to gather and assess relevant information about a customer or potential customer prior to dealing with them.

When conducting CDD, reporting institutions are required to:

  1. Identify the customer and verify that customer’s identity using reliable, independent source documents, data or information;

  2. Verify that any person acting on behalf of the customer is so authorised, and identify and verify the identity of that person;

  3. Identify the beneficial owner and take reasonable measures to verify their identity, using relevant information or data obtained from a reliable source, to the satisfaction of the reporting institution; and

  4. Understand and obtain information where necessary on the purpose and intended nature of the business relationship.

Automatic Customer Due Diligence Services (ACDD) enable the organization to perform some of the background checks automatically.

Figures below explain in detail the end-to-end process of Automatic Customer Due Diligence Services (ACDD).
