Use Cases

How different industries use NNSFlow for compliance documentation.

Banks & Financial Institutions

AML/KYC Compliance

Swiss banks face strict regulatory requirements from FINMA for client due diligence. When a regulator asks what you knew about a client at onboarding, you need to show exactly what sources you reviewed.

Common Scenarios

Client Onboarding

Screen new clients before account opening. Capture evidence of all sources reviewed, whether adverse or clean.

Periodic Reviews

Re-screen existing clients at defined intervals. Compare current results with previous screenings to identify changes.

Transaction-Triggered Reviews

Screen when unusual activity is detected. Document the review in case of later investigation.

PEP Screening

Identify Politically Exposed Persons. Classify sources by credibility to distinguish official records from rumors.

Key Benefits

  • FINMA-aligned documentation with full evidence trail
  • 10-year retention meets Swiss regulatory requirements
  • Decision snapshots prove tool configuration at review time
  • Immutable evidence cannot be altered after completion

Relevant Regulations

  • FINMA Anti-Money Laundering Ordinance
  • Swiss nFADP
  • GDPR (for EU-related clients)

Casinos & Gaming

Patron Due Diligence

NNSFlow is a negative-news screening tool that captures evidence and audit trail for AML reviews of individuals and companies. Gaming-specific obligations under BGS and ESBK, including the central self-exclusion registry, remain handled in your existing systems.
