Continuous monitoring refers to the ongoing process of reviewing customer transactions, behaviors and risk profiles to ensure compliance with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. 

Unlike static reviews conducted at fixed intervals, continuous monitoring enables real-time detection of unusual activity, changes in customer circumstances or emerging risks. This process helps financial institutions and regulated entities stay ahead of potential compliance breaches, identify suspicious transactions and update risk assessments as needed.
