Scale to Prevail: Five Benefits of Proactively Scaling your Compliance Platform

March 7, 2023 by Verafin

Regulatory enforcement is rapidly evolving for crypto companies and manual processes are costing you more. As fines for compliance violations increase, staying ahead of regulatory requirements is a necessity for crypto companies, to avoid financial penalties and damage to your reputation. 

Staying Ahead of Incoming Regulations: The Need for Early Scaling

Regulatory uncertainty means your company can’t delay in establishing proper compliance programs. While some crypto companies are looking to avoid losses by keeping services in-house, the cost of non-compliance can be significantly higher than adopting expert AML/CFT programs.  

The daunting task of ensuring compliance can be simplified by removing siloes and adopting a holistic solution early in your growth journey. A solution that gives you case management, transaction monitoring, fraud detection, blockchain analytics, and sanctions screening – all in one interface – will ultimately reduce your risks, saving your company time and money.  

Five Benefits of Scaling

There are five proven benefits to scaling your compliance platform before it’s required: 

  1. Money Matters
    To keep pace with growing compliance needs, the cost of remaining in-house will soon surpass adopting a scalable AML platform. Relying on processes that constantly require additional hires to perform activities – that can be easily automated – means your company resources are not being spent wisely.  
  2. Spend Your Time More Efficiently
    Effective compliance platforms result in fewer false positives, meaning your team can focus on critical investigations. Using a holistic view of AML and fraud activity means your company has the resources to focus on what matters – growing your business. 
  3. Work Smarter with AI and Machine Learning 
    Try as we might, human error is inevitable. Even the most experienced compliance professionals can’t keep up with evolving criminal activity. Using behavioral analytics tools will help spot suspicious activities that your compliance team might otherwise miss, keeping your company compliant and protected.
  4. Stay One Step Ahead of Compliance Requirements
    Crypto moves at the speed of light. Regulatory changes for crypto companies are rapidly approaching. Adopting a holistic approach to anti-financial crime management will ensure your company won’t be left behind – putting your business and customers at risk
  5. Build your Reputation – Don’t Be a Case Study
    Demonstrating a commitment to strong compliance will show examiners and regulators that your company take these issues seriously – enhancing your reputation with customers and partners.  

The Benefits of Adopting AML Expertise

Aligning with AML/CFT priorities will prove challenging for crypto companies who currently rely on siloed and manual solutions. There are many benefits in working with AML experts to ensure regulatory compliance for your crypto company, including:  

  1. Cross-institutional analysis, helping you spot trends in illicit activity and crime typologies earlier and integrating them into investigation tools.   
  2. Leveraging vast amounts of data, providing you with the ability to see outside the limitations of isolated and restricted data from one organization.   
  3. Specialized regulatory knowledge to ensure the compliance platform easily, continuously, and automatically adapts to regulatory changes so your company doesn’t fall behind.
