Due Diligence

Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)

Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) is the elevated level of investigation applied to higher-risk customers — gathering additional information on identity, source of funds, source of wealth, and the purpose of the relationship beyond standard Customer Due Diligence.
See Enhanced Due Diligence Back to Glossary

EDD is triggered when a customer or transaction presents elevated money-laundering risk: politically exposed persons, customers in high-risk or sanctioned jurisdictions, complex or opaque ownership, or unusual transaction patterns. It typically requires senior-management approval to establish or continue the relationship.

In practice, EDD means establishing and documenting the legitimate Source of Funds and Source of Wealth, obtaining additional verification, and applying closer ongoing monitoring. The depth of EDD should be proportionate to the specific risk identified.
