A KYC origin story - Chapter one: Grid

The story of how Moody’s Analytics developed its KYC solution is one written by different authors. In our KYC Origins series, host Alex Pillow introduces different characters from strategic acquisitions to tell the tales of how their anti-financial crime and risk management businesses were founded, grew, and then joined the Moody's family. 

Chapter one: Grid. Rupert de Ruig, senior director at Moody’s Analytics KYC, narrates the events that led to formation of an industry consortium, which evolved into a solution that changed the way risk screening is implemented globally.

Settle in for a tale involving:

• The evolution of SaaS
• Learning what works (and crucially what doesn’t)
• How adverse media screening can reduce the cost of fraud
• The mission to reduce false positives
• The development of AI in screening
• Finding a home at Moody’s
