SOLUTION

Front-Line Functionality

Improve your compliance processes and suspicious activity detection on the front-line.

Your front-line staff are integral to your BSA compliance and fraud detection efforts

Customers, new and old, interact with your front-line staff every day. These team members are vital to the collection of important customer data, spotting potentially suspicious behavior occurring in-branch, and ensuring you are meeting your regulatory requirements.

Verafin provides a wide array of easy-to-use functionality that helps ensure front-line staff can capture the information you need to complete BSA requirements and alert you to unusual in-branch activity.

Features

CDD ACCOUNT OPENING QUESTIONNAIRE

Ensure front-line staff capture all required information for new personal and business accounts that is important to your ongoing customer assessment. Capture beneficial ownership information, including control and ownership prongs, for new accounts and established customers. You can also generate customizable notification messages to front-line staff when opening an account for specific types of high-risk entities. 

OFAC SEARCHING

Perform an in-branch OFAC watch list search on necessary transactions. Verafin maintains an audit trail of front-line OFAC searches and alerts you to matches.

DEPOSITED CHECK VALIDATION

Verafin gives your front line staff the ability to search a check being deposited by name, routing number, account number, check number, and dollar amount. The check is immediately scanned in the Verafin Cloud to alert, in real-time, your staff if the check was previously presented or processed.

UNUSUAL ACTIVITY FORM

Within Verafin, your front-line staff can easily create an unusual activity form that immediately alerts you when potentially suspicious activity is spotted. Customer and activity details are included in the form and alert, keeping the important information centralized within Verafin and easily available if you need to generate a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR).

MONETARY INSTRUMENT ENTRY

Easily capture cashed or purchased monetary instruments. When filling out the monetary instrument entry form in Verafin, front-line staff quickly complete information about the monetary instrument, select a current customer or add information about a non-customer as the purchaser or payee, and add any necessary notes. An OFAC watch list scan is performed and an audit log is created to aid your BSA requirements.

Benefits

Verafin’s CDD questionnaire lets you configure questions that will ensure front-line staff capture the information you need. Questionnaire functionality also includes tools that help standardize collected information, from defined value ranges for expected transactions, to a convenient NAICS Code Finder that automatically suggests the correct NAICS code to the front-line users.
