BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS, JUNE 7TH 2006 -The St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla National Bank Ltd. (National Bank) has chosen Haydrian Corporation's XM3 for its Anti Money Laundering (AML) and compliance programmes.
This is according to a media release issued on behalf of Haydrian Corporation, which quotes National Bank's Senior Manager for Internal Audit, Compliance and Enforcement, Donald Thompson, as saying that the Bank reviewed several AML solutions mainly by viewing online demonstrations of the features each solution had to offer.
"In addition, we conducted a limited amount of due diligence on the companies offering the solutions. These were conducted mainly through the public domain. The personnel behind the products were also very important to us as well and so we did a careful review of the biographies of the principal persons driving the companies. At the end of this process, we felt confident we would have a solution which closely meets our compliance objectives," said Thompson.
XM3 is a world-class, first tier AML monitoring and compliance solution designed by industry leaders in the areas of AML detection, risk management, modeling human behavior, pattern recognition and information technology. XM3 is designed to be extremely accurate, fast, reliable, secure, easy to deploy and reusable in any variety of environments.
Haydrian's Vice President for Latin America and Caribbean operations, Alex Logan said that throughout their discussions with the St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla National Bank, its executives have always demonstrated the recognition that money laundering is a worldwide problem which can be assailed more effectively by joining forces with a solution provider who has a global vision like Haydrian.
"We are delighted to have them as a customer," said Logan.
