Conduct customer due diligence (CDD)

Businesses should implement CDD procedures to verify the identity of their customers and assess the risks associated with them. CDD procedures should include identifying the customer and verifying their identity, assessing the customer's risk profile, and monitoring the customer's transactions.

Monitor transactions
