MKB Bank is one of the leading universal banking groups in Hungary having more than 60 years of history offering platform based serviced.

The 4th AML Directive of the European Union announced new requirements, so the bank was seeking a solution enabling them to be compliant with the new regulations. The timeframe was extremely tight as they needed to find a such a solution within 2 months that – after an introductory training – can be adapted and fine-tuned on their own, using their own experience, without any external assistance.
