TEAM DESCRIPTION AND ROLE DETAILS

Anti-Financial Crime (AFC) is responsible for identifying, assessing and managing the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing to which the Bank is exposed, using adequate and effective internal safeguards.
A key internal security measure is the AML/CTF transaction monitoring. This is the responsibility of AFC Transaction Monitoring & Screening. Based on indicative models and research beyond, the Division recognizes evidence of money laundering and terrorist financing, which is subsequently examined by the AFC Financial Crime Operations Teams and reported to FIU in the form of a suspected money laundering report.
The Global Risk, Intelligence and Threat Analytics function plays an essential role in the technical design of AML/CTF transaction monitoring in the AFC Transaction Monitoring & Screening area. This includes the inventory and analysis of relevant indications and typologies of money laundering and terrorist financing, the identification of the risks relevant for transaction monitoring and the derivation of the technical requirements for the indicator models.
The Risk and Typology Coverage Assessment ("RTCA") Group is responsible for the identification of relevant customer, product, transaction and geographical risks and the indications and typologies of money laundering and terrorist financing that could subsequently occur in the institution. On this basis, the group collects the existing coverage requirements via transaction monitoring and advises the area on closing identified coverage gaps. The Risk and Typology Coverage Assessment Group also has the task of evaluating the relevance of new products and services from the perspective of the resulting transaction monitoring needs (in the framework of the so-called NPA).
