Transaction Monitoring

As a financial institution you are required to set up appropriate processes and procedures to monitor your clients’ accounts, activities and transactions.

Overview of
Transaction
Monitoring

As a financial institution you are required to set up appropriate processes to monitor your customers’ accounts, activities, and transactions. This helps you to understand their behaviours and actions.

Through transaction monitoring, you can detect if something seems different or unusual in their behaviour or the pattern of their transactions. This is important to help you to comply with your reporting obligations.

What we do

We can help you to set up a transaction monitoring system. The level of our support will depend on how you want to perform the monitoring, which system you choose and the integrity of the data.

How we can
help you

We can support you in the following areas:

  • Establishing the right procedures to monitor clients’ accounts, activities, and transactions
  • Creating and maintaining accurate transaction profiles, backed up with evidence
  • Selecting, implementing, and validating the effectiveness of a system to monitor transactions
  • Evaluating, managing, and reporting findings from transaction monitoring and confirming that the system is not incorrectly flagging up legitimate activities (false positives)
  • Combining transaction monitoring with customer due diligence and risk profiles
