Capital markets are magnets for money launderers
False positives are hiding the real risks
Rules-based transaction monitoring systems are not effectively detecting risk. The result: too many alerts—up to 99% of which are false positives—and mounting costs.
Criminals are becoming more sophisticated
Criminals are hiding their footprints in complex networks of transactions and using electronic trading to take advantage of pitfalls in technology. Without context, money laundering is impossible identify automatically.
Fragmented data distorts decision-making
Customers have multiple relationships across different business units. Siloed data stops you from seeing the bigger picture and identifying suspicious behavior.

By using context to build a complete holistic view of your customers and their counterparties, you can:
- Identify new and emerging risks faster and more accurately
- Understand who they trade with and the companies they associate with
- Perform faster and higher quality alert reviews
Then you can automate operations with augmented decision-making to detect risk more effectively and reduce costs by reducing false positives.
