What do the different AML/CTF statuses mean
SILQ supports a number of status when doing a KYC check on a client as part of AML/CTF. Below are an explanation of those status
-
Complete - The KYC check has been done and the contact has been successfully identified
-
Failed - The KYC check was done but the contact was NOT successfully identified
-
Review - The KYC check was completed but it requires review by the practitioner to satisfy themselves that it is valid.
-
Exempt - In the opinion of the practitioner this client is exempt from requiring a KYC check
-
Pending - The KYC check is still in progress and the system is awaiting a response from the person who is being checked.
-
Delayed - The KYC check is incomplete and has taken an extended amount of time and is now marked as delayed
-
Partial - The KYC check has only completed part of the KYC check.
-
Exception - In the opinion of the practitioner the client has an exception that does not require them to have a KYC check
-
Incomplete - This is the default status when a KYC has not been started
-
Pre-Commencement - This can be used for a client that was known to the practice prior to the beginning of the AML/CTF Tranche 2 requirements (July 1st 2026) and as such is not required to have a KYC check.
A user can manually select any of these options as they can potentially do a KYC check either manually or using alternative system to SILQ to do the KYC check.
