Cost of Compliance results in “De-risking” Definition “De-risking refers to the phenomenon of financial institutions terminating or restricting business relationships with clients or categories of clients to avoid, rather than manage, risk.” (source: World Bank Group 2015) Reason for De-risking I. II. Customers do not generate sufficient revenue to overcome compliance costs; The Institution provides payment services to customers about which the necessary information for an adequate risk assessment is not available; III. Customers are located in jurisdictions perceived as too risky; IV. The Customer offers products or services or has customers that pose a higher risk for antimoney laundering/combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) (Source: CPMI Correspondent banking July 2016) 3

Revenue vs Cost of doing business: Which elements can you influence? Insufficient information about (risky) clients: What more can you provide, and how? Perception: How can you change it? 4
