All use cases
AML & Financial Crime
An AI monitoring system escalates, or suppresses, a suspicious-activity alert. The regulator asks the firm to evidence each call. Every decision is on record.
The situation
A bank's AI transaction-monitoring system decides which alerts to escalate as suspicious activity and which to suppress. The regulator wants assurance that suppression decisions are justified and auditable, not a black box. Aegis Trace seals every escalate-or-suppress decision with the signals behind it, giving financial-crime teams a defensible record for each call.
The regulations
- FCA SYSC
- FATF
- EU AMLD
- BSA/AML
- POCA
The evidence
Every escalate-or-suppress decision is sealed with its signals.
