Compliance Lifecycle & How it works
Customer Onboarding Screening
New customer registration, KYC completion
What Happens
Customer Identification
Customer name, DOB, nationality, ID numbers submitted
Real-time screening
1,700+ sanctions lists (exact and fuzzy matching), 1.7M+ PEP databases with relationship mapping, 3B+ adverse media articles with NLP categorization
Risk scoring with weighted attributes
(sanctions=100, PEP=75, adverse media=50)
Alert generation for matches above threshold
Automatic alerts when thresholds are exceeded.
Investigation workflow triggered for medium/high risk
Structured case files drive faster resolution.
Outcomes
- No Match Customer approved, monitoring enabled
- Low Risk Match Enhanced due diligence, manager approval
- High Risk Match Escalation, detailed investigation, senior approval/rejection
Real-Time Transaction Monitoring
Payment initiation, fund transfers, withdrawals
What Happens
Transaction data analyzed:
amount, beneficiary, frequency, timing, location
Pre-configured AML rules executed
Velocity checks (transaction count and cumulative amount within 24 hours), high-value thresholds (single transactions exceeding $X), structuring patterns (multiple transactions just below reporting limits), suspicious keywords in notes (e.g., “gift,” “loan,” “charity”), and geographic anomalies involving unusual jurisdictions.
Beneficiary screening
Real-time PEP/sanctions check on recipient, Shared beneficiary analysis (same recipient across multiple customers = mule account)
ML behavioral scoring
Comparison against the customer’s historical behavior, peer group benchmarking across similar profiles, and anomaly detection to identify unusual patterns.
Outcomes
- Low Risk (0-30) Transaction approved, logged for audit
- Medium Risk (31-70) Hold for manual review or additional verification
- High Risk (71-100) Transaction blocked, case created, regulatory reporting triggered
Ongoing Customer Monitoring
Daily automated process, event-triggered updates
What Happens
Entire customer base Re-screening
re-screened daily against updated watchlists
Behavioral pattern analysis
Transaction velocity changes, Spending pattern evolution, Geographic activity shifts
Profile monitoring

Relationship mapping updates
New associations detected (6-degrees analysis), Connected entities flagged
Alert generation
