Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is jurisdictional risk in AML compliance?
Jurisdictional risk refers to the elevated money laundering or terrorism financing risk associated with doing business in or with customers from certain countries or territories. Financial institutions must assess and document this risk as part of their AML/CTF programme — customers, transactions, or counterparties linked to high-risk countries require enhanced due diligence regardless of the individual's own profile.
How are countries classified by risk level?
MemberCheck's country risk ratings combine multiple authoritative data sources: the FATF grey and black lists, the Basel AML Index, Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index, US State Department reports, and Nexiant's own proprietary weighting model. Countries are classified into risk tiers — Critical, High, Medium, and Low — giving compliance teams a single, consistent view of geographic risk.
What is the FATF grey list?
The FATF grey list (formally the list of Jurisdictions under Increased Monitoring) identifies countries that are actively working with FATF to address strategic deficiencies in their AML/CFT regimes but have not yet fully implemented the required changes. Financial institutions dealing with customers, funds, or transactions linked to grey-listed countries are expected to apply enhanced due diligence. The list is updated at each FATF plenary, typically three times per year.
Which data sources inform Nexiant's country risk ratings?
Ratings draw on FATF mutual evaluation reports and public statements, the Basel AML Index, UN Office on Drugs and Crime data, Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index, US Department of State International Narcotics Control Strategy Report, and Nexiant's proprietary analyst review. The combination provides broader coverage and greater nuance than any single source.
How often are country risk ratings updated?
Country ratings are reviewed continuously and updated whenever there is a material change — including FATF plenary decisions, new sanctions designations, significant political developments, or changes to national AML/CTF legislation. Your compliance team is alerted when a country in your customer portfolio changes risk tier.
