FAQs

What is the difference between CDD and EDD?

Customer due diligence (CDD) is the baseline process for understanding who a customer is and why they engage with your institution. It involves verifying identification documents (e.g., government IDs) and conducting preliminary checks for potential red flags.

CDD is generally sufficient for low- to moderate-risk clients and ensures compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations.

Enhanced due diligence (EDD) is applied to higher-risk customers. It goes beyond standard verification to assess how a relationship or transaction might expose the institution to risk. 

EDD is investigative and continuous, focusing on the customer’s intent, ownership structure, behavior, and overall risk profile.
