Screening Requirements Sanctions lists to screen (OFAC, EU, UN), PEP checks, and adverse media review scope.
Ongoing Monitoring Review frequency by risk tier, trigger events for refresh, and transaction monitoring thresholds.
Approval & Sign-Off Who needs to approve by risk level, escalation path for high-risk clients, and four-eyes requirements.

Client Onboarding Checklist

Specify client type, jurisdiction, products/services, and risk level. The agent produces a 9-section AML/KYC onboarding checklist tailored to your institution.

Starting point only. Your compliance officer must review and adapt this to your institution's AML/KYC policies and applicable regulations. Live sanctions/PEP screening must be performed through a verified provider. Not legal or compliance advice.

How It Works

The Client Onboarding Checklist is ibizai's implementation of the Anthropic Claude for Financial Services operations and compliance agent, adapted for financial institutions operating in Latin America, the Caribbean, and the EU. Extends FATF-compliant KYC across CFATF (Caribbean) and AMLD6 (EU) jurisdictions. Output in English, Spanish, and French.

You provide client type, jurisdiction, products/services, and risk level. The agent produces a detailed nine-section onboarding checklist with jurisdiction-specific regulatory references — customized for individual retail, HNW/UHNW, corporate, financial institution, trust, fund, or PEP/government entity clients.

Important: This checklist is a starting point. Your compliance officer must review and adapt it to your institution's AML/KYC policies and applicable regulations. Live sanctions and PEP screening must be performed through a verified screening provider. Not legal or compliance advice.
