Criminals are hiding in
plain sight

Traditional monitoring systems can’t handle the scale

Existing transaction monitoring systems produce thousands of false positives so your team has to manually process paperwork to uncover real risk.

 

Money laundering fuels horrendous crimes

Trade-based money laundering is more than evading import duties or currency restrictions. It’s used to move corrupt funds, enable human and wildlife trafficking, and smuggle weapons.

 

You need to bridge across financed, open account trade products and normal payments

You might be able to see more in financed trade, but the manual processes are time consuming. And with non-financed trade, you have huge information gaps.

How to effectively detect trade-based money laundering and financial crime using an automated contextual approach to data

Uncover hidden connections in seconds

Global trade is made up of complex relationships and behaviors between importers and exporters. To manage risk effectively and efficiently, you need to understand the context of their businesses, ownership structures, geographies and where they sit in broader supply chains.

 

By connecting multiple internal and external data sources, you can see the complete picture of your customers and their counterparties. So your teams can reveal hidden risks and make faster, more accurate decisions about potentially suspicious activity, without being overrun by false positives.
