Traditional AML systems are proving inadequate, struggling to keep pace with the evolving sophistication of financial crime.
According to Consilient, in an environment where compliance and investigative teams grapple with an overwhelming number of false positives—up to 95% of alerts—financial institutions continue to bear unnecessary operational costs and miss crucial threats. This old-school, rules-based approach to AML is costly, inefficient, and increasingly untenable.
The flood of false positives from legacy systems not only drains valuable resources but also diverts attention from high-priority threats, inflating operational costs and leaving real risks unaddressed. This scenario often results in severe repercussions, including regulatory fines and significant reputational damage.
As criminals adapt and evolve their strategies to bypass these rigid systems, using tactics like mule accounts and cryptocurrency transactions, the gaps in traditional AML defenses become more apparent. This puts institutions at increased risk of regulatory scrutiny and financial penalties.
The inefficiencies caused by outdated systems extend beyond financial loss. They also damage customer trust, as legitimate transactions are needlessly delayed or flagged incorrectly. The operational bottlenecks created hamper an institution’s ability to respond swiftly and effectively to genuine financial threats.
Enter Consilient’s innovative AML/CFT Model—a game-changer built on advanced machine learning that promises to overhaul the landscape of financial compliance.
