Lesson 13: Anti-Money Laundering (AML) & KYC Pipeline

Introduction

KYC pipeline design: identity verification, document validation. AML screening: sanctions lists, PEP screening. Suspicious Activity Reports.


1. Design KYC pipeline: identity verification, document validation

1.1 Basic concepts

KYC pipeline design: identity verification, document validation is one of the most important topics in this field. Understanding the core concepts will help you design the right system from the beginning.

Key Concepts:
├── Concept 1: Nền tảng lý thuyết
├── Concept 2: Áp dụng thực tế
├── Concept 3: Best practices
└── Concept 4: Anti-patterns cần tránh

2.2 Component Design

Each component in the system needs to be designed with the following principles:

  • Single Responsibility: Each component only takes on one responsibility
  • Loose Coupling: Minimize dependencies between components
  • High Cohesion: Related elements are in the same component
  • Interface Segregation: Clear, separate API

3. Suspicious Activity Reports.

3.1 Design Patterns applied

Applied Patterns:
├── Strategy Pattern: Cho phép thay đổi algorithm at runtime
├── Observer Pattern: Event notification mechanism
├── Repository Pattern: Data access abstraction
└── Factory Pattern: Object creation flexibility

3.2 Code Example

// Example implementation
public interface Service {
    Result process(Request request);
    boolean supports(RequestType type);
}

@Component
public class CoreService implements Service {

    @Override
    public Result process(Request request) {
        // Validate input
        validator.validate(request);

        // Execute business logic
        var result = businessLogic.execute(request);

        // Publish domain event
        eventBus.publish(new ProcessedEvent(result));

        return result;
    }
}

4. Production Considerations

4.1 Monitoring & Observability

Observability Stack:
├── Metrics: Prometheus + Grafana
├── Logging: ELK / Loki
├── Tracing: OpenTelemetry + Jaeger
└── Alerting: PagerDuty

4.2 Performance Optimization

MetricsTargetStrategy
Latency p99< 100msCaching, async processing
Throughput> 10K RPSHorizontal scaling
Availability99.99%Multi-region, failover
Error rate< 0.01%Circuit breaker, retry
