AML System Implementation
A leading European banking institution · under NDA
False positives –60%
Where the bank was
The bank had started an AML platform implementation with a third-party vendor, but the result fell short: excessive false positives were overwhelming investigators and delaying escalation of real threats, data was fragmented across disconnected core banking, payments, CRM, and loan-origination systems, investigations relied heavily on spreadsheets, an internal audit had flagged regulatory deficiencies against a firm deadline, and the platform itself struggled with transaction volume growth, latency, and alert backlogs.
4 phases
Diagnostic & Planning
A deep-dive audit of workflows, rulesets, and alert patterns, stakeholder engagement, and a gap analysis against EBA guidelines and 6AMLD standards.
Technical Architecture
A centralized data integration hub connecting 20+ internal systems and third-party feeds, real-time transaction processing, and a dynamic customer risk-scoring engine.
Rules Optimization
Rebuilt and optimized over 100 detection rules, integrated machine-learning classifiers to cut false positives, and delivered a tuning dashboard for compliance managers.
Case Management & Reporting
Automated case-lifecycle workflows with escalation logic, SAR generation integrated with Financial Intelligence Units, full audit logging, and executive KPI dashboards.
