Our Mission
Customer due diligence done once, properly, without needless further repetition.
At CDD Desk, we believe customer due diligence should be conducted once, properly, without unnecessary repetition. This belief is built on two key principles:
First, CDD should be handled by specialized teams. Regulations are growing increasingly complex. For many institutions it is no longer feasible to maintain all the expertise in-house needed to properly fulfill their gatekeeping tasks.
Second, the results of due diligence should be reusable. Clients should be able to share their verified files with other institutions, which then share in the costs. With the client's consent, reviews and updates should also be shareable. By eliminating unnecessary repetition, the effectiveness of AML efforts is enhanced while the burden is significantly reduced for institutions, their clients, and society as a whole.
