Regulatory Compliance: How Companies Use Public Data to Solve This Challenge

Regulatory compliance , i.e., the company's compliance with the requirements established by the government or regulatory agencies for its operation, is not a trivial process. Much of the work involves adapting internal processes and procedures to standards that are not always in line with the reality of business, and can significantly burden the company's operations.

In addition to these internal procedures, businesses that deal directly with end consumers generally also need an additional layer of processes that deal with how the interaction with that consumer occurs, and what needs to be officially recorded. All companies are subject to this, from a store that issues the receipt at the time of sale (because issuing a receipt is a regulatory requirement) to the bank that analyzes the money laundering risk of each financial transaction that passes through its systems.

In most situations involving end consumers, regulatory requirements are related to the collection of information from these individuals. The exact type of information being collected may vary from market to market, but in general, the need is the same: it is necessary to collect information related to consumers (CPF, name, marital status, address, and so on) in order to minimize the risk of a crime being committed, and also to be able to investigate any problems that may arise.

This process of collecting information to meet regulatory compliance, however, brings with it several problems. Asking the end customer for all the necessary information taiwan phone numbers creates a lot of friction in the onboarding process, which can lead customers to give up on making a purchase or opening an account. At the same time, the answers provided may not be reliable and need to be validated against an external source. And there is still information that people are unaware of. Imagine a bank, for example, asking if a person is Politically Exposed (a PEP, or PPE). Many people don't even know what this means, and will not be able to answer the question correctly even if they have good intentions.
