Private Banking Onboarding Roundtable

Roundtable Overview

MAS investigations into the 2023 money laundering cases permanently raised what is expected of private bank compliance. Two years on, most institutions are mid-remediation: client lifecycle management platforms are being replaced, EDD frameworks redesigned, and examination findings still being worked through. This roundtable brings together heads of wealth compliance, client lifecycle management, and private banking operations to examine what is working, what remains unresolved, and where the next area of supervisory focus is likely to fall.

Discussion Points

How banks are managing EDD review backlogs that are delaying legitimate onboarding and creating friction relationship managers cannot defend commercially?

How far automation can go in periodic client reviews before the documented trail creates more examination risk than it reduces?

How banks are timing the CLM platform decision — replacing now during active remediation, or stabilising first and deciding after?
