-
- Increase compliance through the reduction of false negative alerts
- Reduce the investigative burden of false positives through groundbreaking new Event Triage solution
- Greatly increase investigative efficiency with case data pre-gathered with analysis through the RCG|enable™ Investigator Workbench
The Challenge
Poor customer record data and incomplete views of a bank’s customers relationships prevent meaningful and optimized screening and monitoring activities and with fraud often as a precursor to money-laundering activities it is imperative that a bank has robust, trustworthy and current customer data. Financial services firms spend large amounts of money on screening, monitoring and investigations, yet most can only claim opaque and disjointed customer views. Customer information is often siloed, housed in databases on dispersed systems that have no way of communicating with each other. Separate customer profiles may appear in different arms of the bank: In retail banking and mortgage departments, for example, or in commercial banking and credit card divisions. Unresolved identities, incomplete know your customer (KYC) profiles and inaccurate segmentation and risk management data cause major issues in monitoring and screening processes To work effectively, these systems need a clear and complete view of each entity doing business with and through the institution. Inefficient entity resolution puts banks at risk for non-compliance by missing bad behavior or transactions (false negatives). Correcting this can lead to an increase in the amount of alerts, most of which will likely be non-suspicious (false positives). False positives occur far more often, up to 95 percent of the time by some estimates. For those alerts requiring investigation the current inefficient, manual investigative practices leave bank investigators needlessly collecting and collating the required data and documents at the expense of the time necessary to provide the correct level of investigative scrutiny and analysis.
