Rely on Promontory’s International Expertise with AML Atlas™

Any financial institution that has international exposure through either its transactions or customers should evaluate, and take steps to mitigate, the risks of the foreign jurisdictions to which it is exposed.

Promontory Compliance Solutions has created AML Atlas™, a geographic risk assessment tool that rates countries according to their perceived risk of money laundering and terrorist financing. AML Atlas™ compiles data on over 200 jurisdictions and assigns each an overall risk score based on Promontory’s methodology, which has been developed to comply with the criteria in the FFIEC Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering Examination Manual as well as the input of Promontory’s staff of experienced AML experts and former senior regulators.
