Risk & Compliance AI

Compliance AI that keeps up with regulators.

We build regulatory-aware AI systems for AML/KYC, transaction monitoring, and compliance reporting - designed to adapt as regulations change, not break when they do.

What we build

AML / KYC Systems

Customer due diligence automation, beneficial ownership resolution, sanctions screening, and PEP matching - with explainable risk scoring and SAR generation assistance.

Regulatory Reporting AI

Automated data extraction, validation, and report generation for CCAR, FINREP, COREP, and EMIR reporting - with rule-based validation and audit trails.

Transaction Monitoring

Adaptive rules engine combined with ML anomaly detection for AML transaction monitoring. Tuned to your institution's transaction patterns to reduce false positives.

Risk Assessment Models

Counterparty credit risk, operational risk scoring, and concentration risk models - documented for SR 11-7 compliance and internal audit review.

Regulatory coverage

EU

GDPR

Data subject rights, lawful basis, DPA requirements

MiFID II

Record-keeping, best execution, transaction reporting

EU AI Act

High-risk AI system classification, conformity assessment

AMLD6

AML/CFT obligations, beneficial ownership, reporting

US

BSA / FinCEN

SAR filing, CTR reporting, CIP programme requirements

CCPA / CPRA

California consumer rights, opt-out, data broker rules

SR 11-7

Model risk management framework for bank models

FCRA

Adverse action, permissible purpose, dispute handling

UK

FCA

Consumer Duty, SM&CR, algorithmic trading surveillance

PRA

Supervisory Statement 1/23, model risk management

UK GDPR

Post-Brexit data protection, international transfers

MLRO obligations

Suspicious activity reporting, tipping-off rules

The explainability mandate

Financial regulators do not accept black-box AI. Here is why - and how we build systems that meet the bar.

01

Regulatory guidance (SR 11-7, SS1/23, EBA guidelines) requires banks to understand and explain model outputs.

02

Adverse action notices require human-interpretable reasons - 'the model said so' is not acceptable.

03

AML systems must produce evidence for SAR submissions that can withstand legal scrutiny.

04

Black-box models cannot be independently validated by model risk management teams.

We build compliance AI using interpretable model architectures where possible, SHAP attribution where complex models are necessary, and full decision trace logs as a standard output of every compliance system.

Continuous monitoring

Regulation change tracking

We build regulatory change feeds into compliance AI systems - flagging when rule changes affect model logic or thresholds.

Threshold auto-tuning

AML and transaction monitoring thresholds recalibrated quarterly using updated typology data and institution-specific patterns.

Performance drift alerts

Model performance tracked against PSI and population shift metrics - automated alerts before drift becomes a compliance risk.

Annual revalidation cycle

Structured revalidation of all compliance models on annual basis, with documentation suitable for internal audit and regulatory examination.

Data handling

PII Classification

All personal data classified, tagged, and tracked through the compliance AI pipeline. Automated PII detection in unstructured data ingestion.

Data Residency

Jurisdiction-specific data residency controls for EU, UK, and US customer data - enforced at infrastructure level, not just policy.

Retention & Deletion

Automated retention schedules aligned to BSA (5 years), GDPR (purpose limitation), and MiFID II (7 years) requirements.

Access Logging

Immutable audit trail on all access to sensitive compliance data - exportable for regulatory examination on demand.

Case Study - Risk & Compliance

"Transaction monitoring false positive rate reduced by 67% - AML investigation team capacity doubled without headcount increase."

ML-augmented rules engine deployed at a UK retail bank. Adaptive tuning reduced alert volume while maintaining SAR filing rates. Full MLRO sign-off documentation included at go-live.

Business case

Estimated impact for a mid-size financial institution

AML false positive rate

Before

85% false positive rate - 4,200 alerts/month reviewed manually

After

28% false positive rate - 1,400 alerts/month. Investigators focus on real risk.

2,800 hours/month freed

KYC document review

Before

8 minutes per customer document reviewed by compliance analyst

After

Automated extraction + 90-second human confirmation for edge cases

73% time reduction

Regulatory report preparation

Before

COREP/FINREP prep takes 4 FTE 3 weeks per quarter

After

Automated extraction and validation; team reviews exceptions only

~$380K annual cost saving

Model risk documentation

Before

SR 11-7 model cards assembled retroactively - MRM team bottleneck

After

Documentation generated alongside model development - audit-ready at go-live

60% faster MRM approval

Client perspective

“False positive rates fell from 85% to 28%. Our investigators stopped drowning in alerts and started investigating actual suspicious activity. We filed more SARs, with better evidence, in less time.”
