(German-language blog post) On 7 August 2025, the European Banking Authority (EBA) launched a consultation on its revised Guidelines on internal governance. The draft aligns with the CRD VI banking package and other regulations such as the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). It introduces clearer role descriptions, extends scope to third-country branches, and strengthens regulatory monitoring as part of MaRisk compliance.

Extracting insights from complex regulations like the AML Act is tough. We compare two AI-powered methods that improve precision and usability in compliance document analysis.

Streamline regulatory workflows and reduce errors using AI. Discover how RAG, AI agents, and Graph Databases transform compliance document analysis—faster, more accurate, and fully explainable.

Traditional AML segmentation methods often fall short when it comes to truly understanding customer behavior. Regulatory expectations are shifting toward more refined and explainable approaches that go beyond simple thresholds. By applying statistical clustering techniques, compliance teams can detect risks with greater precision, reduce false positives, and strengthen their AML programs – all without relying on AI.

Enhancing the resilience of the risk and compliance program has become a growing requirement among auditors and regulators, as reflected in numerous legislative frameworks. The challenge resides in successfully transitioning to a digital format while achieving efficiency amidst ever growing volatility. The implementation of automation, alongside artificial intelligence and effectively coordinated policies and procedures, contributes significantly to the optimization of this process.
