**Background**

**KYC or "Know your customers"** refers to due diligence activities that financial institutions and other regulated companies perform to prevent them from being used by criminal elements for money laundering activities. This is a **tedious and manual activity**, requiring very accurate results. **In case of mistakes** the fines are of millions of USD and affects the reputation of the bank.

The 3 Key elements of KYC Policies:

**Onboarding the customer** – A smaller number of prospect clients need to be analyzed, but there is a pressure from competition on the SLA for client opening account.

**Monitoring the customer data** – The whole portfolio needs to be assessed periodically, with no pressure from the client, but from the regulations in this area (example: The frequency of a periodic review may increase (from 1 per 3 years to smaller periods) which almost triples of the volume of work

**Monitoring of Transactions** – Anti-Money Laundering activities (different process - out of scope)

**Solution description**

**The solution is build around 7 sub-processes common to Onboarding/reviewing Corporate Clients in any Financial Institution performing the KYC for UK & France Customers**

**Proof of registration** – like proof of identity for an individual, for a company it is meant to validate client name, client registration address and client registration number (Source of data\*: France: Infogreffe, UK: Companies House)

**Proof of listing** – If a company is listed or not on a Stock Exchange; this also gives an important info about how supervised the customer is (Source of data\*: France: Euronext, UK: London Stock Exchange)

**Proof of regulation** – financial institutions need to be authorized to perform activities in their area (Source of data\*: France: [acpr.banque-france.fr/](http://acpr.banque-france.fr/) UK: [www.bankofengland.co.uk](http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/))

**Main countries of business** – Countries where the customers are developing their business (Source of data\*:Annual report published on the companies site)

**Management structure** – Board of Directors (Source of data\*: Bankers Almanac application that can be used by all banks, regardless of the counterparts’ country)

helps banks comply, in their due diligence, in relation with their counterparts

provides access to 114,569 documents for 20,415 financial institutions worldwide, together with other valuable information including details on ownership, group structures and regulators

**Ultimate beneficial owner\*** – Who ultimately controls the company based on a predefined shareholder structure schema (Source of data\*: Bankers Almanac application)

**Screening on Adverse, Sanctions, PEP international lists** – screening of information focused on PEPs and heightened risk individuals and entities, their associates, partners, families and extended networks (Source of data: World Check, that shows one consolidated report for each individual/entity, that presents the sanction or watchlist information alongside any additional negative media that is uncovered)

Part of the [Thomson Reuters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomson_Reuters) Risk Management Solutions suite it is presently used by:

*   49 of the world's top 50 banks
*   9 of the Top 10 global law firms
*   300+ Government agencies

\*Solution includes for now UK & France for Customer Type - Financial Institutions. Next version will be updated with more countries and different customer types, other than Financial Institutions

**Solution components** – UiPath Custom UI Activity for the output display (.Net, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, Bootstrap)

*   UiPath Pre-built Activities for all the repetitive tasks
*   UiPath Custom NLP Activity **(**Python & nltk.)
*   UiPath Custom ML Activity ("Naive Bayes Machine Learning Algorithm")

Combining Industry Knowledge (well documented business rules with the support of one major Bank) with RPA - UiPath Platform functionalities - and Computer Vision + Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning algorithms, we obtained a solid plug and play solution that can be used at industry level & not only.

KYC 1 automatizes the onboarding and monitoring process of KYC for financial institutions by using reliable, independent source documents and data about the clients registered in UK and France

This is a simple engine to pull and process a Transaction from a local data source.

The workblock contains code that will do the following:

1\. Reads a configuration file, by default located in Data\\Config.xlsx and output as a dictionary named config

2\. Calls ProcessLayer\\InitAllApplications.xaml, where you should initialize apps

3\. Reads the collection of data

4\. For each piece of data (if you have only one transaction pull 4.1 out of 4):

*   4.1 Execute Process - retry if you run into a AppEx
*   4.2 Calls ProcessLayer\\ProcessTransaction.xaml, where you should input data into your opened applications
*   4.3 Evaluate Process wb output
*   4.4 Recover if wb failed with AppEx
*   4.4.1 Call ProcessLayer\\CloseAllApplications.xaml
*   4.4.2 Call ProcessLayer\\InitAllApplications.xaml

5\. Call ProcessLayer\\CloseAllApplications.xaml

A couple of workblocks in UiPath Studio solving simple processes with local data

Simple engine to pull and process a Transaction from an Orchestrator queue

This engine contains code that will do the following:

1\. Read a configuration file, by default located in Data\\Config.xlsx and output as a dictionary named config

2\. Calls ProcessLayer\\InitAllApplications.xaml, where you should initialize applications

3\. While there are items in the Queue, read a new Item and process it.

*   3.1 Get Item from queue
*   3.2 Execute Process - retry if you run into a AppEx
*   3.2.1 Calls ProcessLayer\\ProcessTransaction.xaml, where you should input data into your opened applications
*   3.2.2 Evaluate Process wb output
*   3.2.3 Recover if wb failed with AppEx
*   3.2.3.1 Call ProcessLayer\\CloseAllApplications.xaml
*   3.2.3.2 Call ProcessLayer\\InitAllApplications.xaml

4\. Call ProcessLayer\\CloseAllApplications.xaml

A simple workblock engine made in UiPath Studio to process Orchestrator queue items

Dashboards in Kibana for displaying data about running and finished processes to business, development and management audiences.

All UiPath processes using the workblock concept to log data can use these dashboards.

Attached you will find three files, each containing a set of visualisations and a single dashboard that groups the visualisations together.

In the documentation section, you will find the installation guide.

Microsoft Translator Text API is a cloud-based machine translation service. With this API you can translate text in near real-time from any app or service through a simple REST API call. The API uses the most modern neural machine translation technology, as well as offering statistical machine translation technology.

For the list of supported languages, both for neural MT and statistical MT, please refer to [Supported languages](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/translator/languages).

Custom translator models are also available but in not in the current scope of the activities.

The activities allow for the following use cases:

*   Language Detection
*   Translation from one language to another
*   Transliteration of characters from one alphabet to another
