Transforming Trust Management Through Smart Process Automation
How a trust and corporate services provider streamlined KYC, risk monitoring, and DNB audit readiness with Emakin.
Client Overview
Kiltoprak is a trust and corporate services provider operating across the
Netherlands,
Switzerland, and
Malta. As a licensed entity under Dutch regulators like the
DNB (De Nederlandsche Bank), they face strict AML/CTF and due diligence obligations. With a growing international client base and rising transaction volume,
manual processes became a bottleneck, especially around ensuring
traceability, cross-border compliance, and
audit readiness.
Challenge
Operating across multiple countries, Kiltoprak faced increasing pressure to strengthen its compliance infrastructure. Their client acceptance and transaction monitoring processes were mostly document-driven, relying heavily on email threads, manual file uploads, and disjointed review cycles. This posed several risks:
- Reliance on
email and documents for onboarding and reviews
- Difficulty enforcing
4-eye compliance and tracking approvals
- Inconsistent documentation across branches
- Limited visibility into review
statuses and risk indicators
- High risk of
non-compliance during DNB inspections
