Kyckr has released the findings from their new Voice of the KYC Compliance Professional report. 

Starting on Oct. 6, 2021, the report surveyed 244 banking compliance professionals with the goal of putting some hard numbers behind the challenges of modern compliance professionals. 

Commenting on the findings, Kyckr's CEO, Ian Henderson, said: "Compliance professionals play a critical role in keeping their bank — and society as a whole — safe from criminals. From terrorism financing to drug trafficking, compliance departments are the last line of defense to keep us safe. It's mission-critical for banking executives and leaders to ensure their compliance teams are well taken care of and equipped with the tools they need to succeed."  

Key Findings:

• 72% feel somewhat or very burned out at their work.
• 37% said their job got harder in the past year.
• 50% of respondents do not have the tools they need to do their job effectively. 
• 53% want to change jobs or companies in the next year.
• 44% wouldn't be surprised to see their bank in the news for an AML-related fine.
