Keeping KYB review records current

Ownership and account activity can change after onboarding. A review queue helps teams organize the follow-up work and preserve its history.

An ownership change or a transaction alert can put a previously reviewed entity back in the queue. The reviewer needs the current file, the trigger and enough context to decide whether to clear or escalate the case.

For a large queue, a risk score alone is insufficient context. KEZEL attaches reasons to the ranking so reviewers can inspect why a case needs attention. The score orders the work; a person decides what to do with the case.

Keep the review beside the account records

The case workflow and analytics run beside the core account and transaction stores. Scheduled jobs can refresh the queue, while event-driven workflows bring changed files back for review.

The query plan applies the reader's row filters and column masks. If a role is allowed a cleartext read, that read is logged too. The ledger retains the question, policy decision, reader and timestamp; lineage connects a published figure to the tables and transformations behind it.

This pattern reflects DBTEZ's consulting work in the US banking domain. The scope of a bank's review program still depends on its own policies and obligations. KEZEL supplies execution and access records for the people responsible for that program.

Use the banking deployment example to discuss the triggers, roles and refresh schedule a first workload would need.
