CDD is the process of verifying a customer’s identity, assessing risk, and understanding the purpose of their transactions to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing.
Example: A bank onboarding a new client will verify their ID, assess their source of funds, and monitor transactions. For instance, a customer claiming to be a small business owner must provide business registration documents and financial statements.
- Customer Identification – collecting official documents to verify identity.
- Customer Risk Assessment – evaluating the likelihood of money laundering or fraud.
- Ongoing Monitoring – continuously reviewing transactions for suspicious activity.
- Record Keeping – maintaining CDD documentation for regulatory compliance.

- Standard Due Diligence (CDD) – regular checks for normal-risk customers.
