London – 16 February 2009 – Complinet, the leading provider of connected compliance solutions to the global financial services industry, has announced that Calyon London branch has chosen and implemented an interactive classroom training tool from Complinet for Know Your Customer (KYC) regulation.
Calyon London branch has selected and deployed Complinet’s interactive classroom training to train staff on KYC due diligence requirements when identifying clients in order to assist in the prevention of financial crime. The interactive learning tool assists client-facing professionals with the process and paperwork necessary to satisfy UK KYC requirements and will be delivered in a workshop format to facilitate understanding of the principles that need to be adhered to.

We had very specific requirements and it was important to find the right provider. Complinet understood what we needed and demonstrated an understanding of our vision for training. Complinet delivered a tailored KYC interactive training program that has met with our expectations.”
