Insurance / Pensions
With recent increases in the level of fraudulent claims across the insurance industry, the pressure to ensure your business operations remain compliant is increasing.

Regulators are concerned that the increased reliance of these sectors on intermediaries to reach and manage customers is lowering the industry’s compliance standards. While both pensions and insurance products are generally considered to be at low risk of money laundering, the funds used to purchase them could nevertheless be the proceeds of crime. Moreover, the evolution of new products and the growing offer of digital purchasing channels will bring about new financial crime risks on top of existing ones, which include:
- Fraud, such as fraudulent general insurance claim, and
- Money laundering, such as laundering funds through life insurance premiums
Whether your firm operates in the pension or insurance sector, the current global trend towards stricter regulatory oversight can increase the cost of compliance. Carrying out due diligence on complex corporate structures can be a time-consuming and resource-intensive task. Therefore, it remains crucial for firms to implement a risk-based approach to their financial crime controls. Optimising your compliance systems can help reduce costs and direct resources proportionately to the business areas with higher risk.
Our insurance / pensions experience
Plenitude has an established track record in assisting insurance and pension clients to proactively assess the effectiveness of their existing Financial Crime Compliance framework, systems and controls, and implementing the required enhancements as part of S166 review or independent assessment, to mitigate the risks highlighted above. We also have supported multiple firms post regulatory review, to advise on the response plan and support the successful implementation of the required enhancements as part of a remediation or transformation programme, including large-scale KYC remediation as part of our Managed Service offering.
We have worked with a variety of institutions in the sector, from global insurance companies to pension providers, as well as new firms seeking authorisation.

Data Analytics Services
Data quality, siloed systems, and the ever-evolving tactics of criminals make effective data analysis a constant battle. Firms need to break down these silos to get a holistic view of customer activity and identify hidden patterns that might indicate a financial crime threat.
