Fenergo, the provider of AI-powered solutions for-know your customer-(KYC),-anti-money laundering-(AML), and-client lifecycle management-(CLM), announced asset management service provider Waystone has implemented its technology to enhance client service. By deploying Fenergo’s AI-powered CLM and KYC solutions, Waystone has transformed “the way its clients engage with its AML and know your asset (KYA) services.”
Waystone is a provider of institutional governance, “administration, risk and compliance services to the asset management industry.”
Through its ‘AML Centre of Excellence’, Waystone undertakes “a full suite of services, including investor AML, client AML reviews, sanctions screening, and KYA services, all delivered through a centralised model.”
This approach provides a single view of client risk assessments, “driving greater efficiency, reduced duplication and a consistent global standard.”
By combining deep regulatory expertise with digital technology, Waystone helps clients “strengthen compliance frameworks, reduce risk exposure, and gain full transparency through clear audit trails and reporting.”
The partnership with Fenergo forms part of the company’s ongoing digital transformation initiative, “aimed at supporting continued alignment with evolving global regulatory standards and modernising the user experience.”
Waystone is now able to provide sophisticated and “fully auditable AML reports to clients on a regular basis.”
Greater automation, workflow management, and tracking provided by Fenergo’s platform also boosts Waystone’s operational efficiency, enabling the company to “deliver clients faster and more cost-effective services while upholding the highest standards of compliance and risk management.”
Sanjiv Sawhney, Group CEO, Waystone, said that given the regulatory environment and the need to provide an “intuitive, digitised experience for their global client base, ensuring our AML and KYA services are as refined as possible has been a key strategic priority.”
