Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) are critical processes for financial institutions to comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations and manage financial crime risks. CDD involves standard identity verification and risk assessment to confirm a customer's identity and understand their business relationship, serving as the baseline for AML compliance. In contrast, EDD is applied in higher-risk scenarios, requiring deeper investigation into a customer's identity, source of wealth, and legitimacy of activities, often triggered by specific risk factors such as high-risk jurisdictions, politically exposed persons, or complex ownership structures. Implementing both requires a risk-based approach, leveraging technology and reliable processes like those provided by platforms such as Didit, which centralize identity verification and monitoring solutions to streamline AML compliance.
