Guy Sear, VP Risk and Compliance, IHS Markit - "Expectations for the management of trade risk and compliance in South Asia are increasing, requiring banks to understand in-depth and challenging aspects of the financial transaction. The integration of IHS Markit's trade-based money laundering datasets into the BankT&D Consulting screening platform provides customers with solutions to increase business efficiency and manage risk in a time-sensitive manner."
