Client Goal

Evaluation

Conducted a “shadow shopping” campaign with regulated banks, simulating random attempts to engage in illicit finance.

In coordination with the Central Bank of The Bahamas (CBB), Evaluasi conducted a scientifically rigorous “shadow shopping” campaign to test the regulatory compliance of international banks and trusts supervised by the CBB.

Evaluasi simulated random attempts to engage in illicit finance under natural conditions to observe the response and conformity to Know Your Costumer (KYC) practices of regulated firms. A total of 250 approaches were made across 75% of Bahamian internationally active public banks and trust companies between December 2022 and January 2023. 17 different nationalities were randomly assigned to the shadow approaches.
