Reykjavik, Iceland -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/30/2022 -- For banks and fintechs, the right anti-money laundering solutions are going to be vital in the coming months. As instances of financial crime continue to rise there is increasing pressure to deliver on AML compliance - as well as serious consequences for organisations where effective measures have not been put in place. Currently, money laundering losses amount to up to 5% of global GDP and the relentless drive towards innovation in technology and systems has opened up lots of loopholes. For example, cryptocurrency money laundering rose by 30% in 2021. The only way for banks and fintech's to fight this rise in volume and sophistication is to invest in anti-money laundering solutions that are similarly advanced. There are lots of different options out there when it comes to anti-money laundering solutions and each offers a different approach.
Transaction monitoring is always going to be a vital part of anti-money laundering solutions, ploughing through vast volumes of data and analysing it on the basis of risk rules. Those risk rules could be anything, from looking for suspicious activity to cash withdrawals and large cash deposits. Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) are the way that this kind of information is presented to be of use to the businesses that are looking to protect themselves with anti-money laundering solutions. Customer behaviour that looks out of the ordinary can be the clearest sign that there is a problem, which is why the quality of transaction monitoring is so important for banks and fintechs choosing anti-money laundering solutions.
Lucinity recognises the importance of transaction monitoring and this is something that has been prioritised in the software. It is part of a holy trinity of tools available to help organisations when it comes to anti-money laundering solutions, alongside actor intelligence and a SAR manager. The Lucinity platform has been developed as Human AI, which brings together the most effective features of being human (such as contexualising and creatively combining numbers) with everything that artificial intelligence has to offer (including assessing probabilities and analysing big data patterns). The goal is to make anti-money laundering solutions not just accessible but super effective too - giving banks and fintechs an advantage in the fast-evolving world of financial crime. The software defines best practice for Human AI setups and empowers teams to do more in anti-money laundering terms.
However, that's not the end of the story when it comes to what organisations can achieve with Lucinity. The platform has also been designed to enable businesses to enjoy productivity improvements too and to make it easier to avoid alert fatigue. The innovative team at Lucinity is always looking for new opportunities to enhance customer experience, building innovation around core values, such as continuous learning. From the early years of the business in 2018 it has grown into an organisation with offices in Reykjavik, London, Brussels and New York. The commitment that the firm has to Make Money Good is a message that it is now able to spread on a global basis, especially as the business continues to grow.
