RELATED FUNCTIONS
Businesses that do not use CDD expose themselves to fraud as well as fines
for non-compliance with anti-money laundering or AML requirements.
The bank's board of directors have the duty to ensure the compliance function of the banks.
Banks must, among other things, have a strong compliance risk management programme at
the bank and group level as part of a strong compliance system.
A bank must develop a board-approved compliance policy outlining its compliance philosophy,
expectations for compliance culture, including tone from the top, accountability, incentive
structures, effective communication, and challenges thereto, the structure and purpose of
the compliance function, role of the CCO, and procedures for detecting, assessing,
monitoring, managing, and reporting on compliance risk across the board.
BANKING
COMPLIANCE
The increasing acceptance of digitisation has altered how public services are
provided. Indian payment technology known as Unified Payment Interface
(UPI), which enables immediate, real-time bank-to-bank transactions utilising
mobile devices, has seen amazing growth. As a result, both peer to peer and
in-store transactions can now be completed with a click on a mobile device.
To close this funding gap and aid small businesses in more quickly obtaining
financing from the formal sector, the NITI Aayog, the government of India's
apex public policy think tank, recommended a full-stack digital bank in its
discussion paper titled "Digital banks - a proposal for licencing and regulatory
regime for India" published in November 2021.
