Aviva has selected Fenergo to replace its Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and customer due diligence systems and services.

The Irish RegTech firm will work initially with Aviva Investors and later with Aviva UK Insurance, to rapidly onboard all legal entities associated with investors and clients across all jurisdictions.

Fenergo will enable Aviva Investors to achieve a single client view through a central data repository which will also serve as a golden source for all KYC data. The centralisation of data will reduce the number of information outreach requests to new and existing customers and will allow resources to focus on more value-add and revenue generating tasks within the business.

“Aviva Investors has continued to focus heavily on improving our clients’ onboarding process, as we strive to provide the seamless experience that our clients expect and deserve” said Michelle Calcutt, head of client experience at Aviva.

“Implementing the Fenergo solution will be a great step forward, as it will enable us to make best use of publicly available data and streamline the process further - in reality this will mean less onerous documentation requests to our clients, resulting in a faster and smoother onboarding experience”

With Fenergo’s solution, Aviva Investors will be able to identify and trace Ultimate Beneficial Owners and better understand complex legal entity hierarchies and ownership relationships.

Fenergo’s solution ensures accurate regulatory classifications and reporting across multiple jurisdictions and provides increased transparency required by third parties such as auditors and regulators. It will also automate all periodic and ongoing KYC reviews and maintenance requests, as well as requisite risk assessments within a secure platform.
