More security in the fight against money laundering with modern technology: a boon for business and IT
ACTICO Anti-Money Laundering: this is the next-generation software for preventing money laundering by detecting suspicious payments, behaviour patterns and customer relationships. It was developed based on state-of-the-art technologies. With our cloud-first approach, AI-ready and flexible workflows, you are ideally equipped for the future.
Key points at a glance:
Key Features
Security in the fulfilment of regulatory requirements is a “must have” for compliance employees. Dashboards, intuitive user guidance and centralised case management support the specialist department in processing hits.
High technology standards enable fast response times for security updates and software distribution. Operation in the ACTICO cloud or in your own infrastructure offers customised scope for banks, financial service providers and insurance companies, while APIs enable rapid integration with other systems.
The risk classification automatically derives a risk class from the factors customer risk (e.g. PEP property), product risk, transaction risk, country risk and sales channel risk. This can be adjusted manually if required.
Depending on the customer profile, transactions and business transactions are analysed on a risk-oriented basis. The software recognises unusual transactions and generates hits.
ACTICO Anti-Money Laundering supports compliance teams in processing hits with centralised case management and workflows based on the dual or multiple control principle.
In addition to standard reports, the ACTICO anti-money laundering software offers the option of configuring customised reports based on prepared data.
ACTICO Anti-money laundering can be implemented as a SaaS solution or in its own infrastructure. This opens flexibility for operations.

Combating money laundering with rules and machine learning models and increasing efficiency
Recognising conspicuous transactions and patterns with rules
ACTICO AML software is delivered with basic scenarios in which transaction and personal data are checked against rules. As soon as an anomaly occurs, the system generates a notification for the money laundering officers and starts a workflow for further processing of these “hits”.
Machine learning to reduce false positives and increase efficiency in hit processing
Machine learning is often used to reduce false positives. Models are trained automatically using historical, clarified cases, with the outcome (matching or non-matching) serving as a label.
Another ideal application of machine learning is customer segmentation, where banking or insurance data is automatically analysed to group customers into clusters based on behaviour, risk profile, and other key factors. This type of analysis helps to identify distinct customer segments and uncover meaningful patterns in the data.
For banks and insurers, machine learning is an innovative, forward-looking tool that supports cost reduction and creates a competitive advantage.
An ACTICO project with a retail bank confirmed the vast potential of AI to reduce false positives in the fight against money laundering. A validation dataset showed that around 40% of false positive cases could be eliminated.
Benefits
With ACTICO Anti-Money Laundering, business users and IT benefit from standardised AML software that has been successfully used by many customers. The standards are reflected in the rule creation, workflows and hit processing and enable a manageable implementation effort.
The AML software can be flexibly adapted to specific requirements. Basic scenarios (rules) can be supplemented with customised scenarios, and limit changes can be easily adapted or changed via the user interface.
Many well-known banks, financial service providers and insurance companies use ACTICO compliance solutions. ACTICO's many years of project experience, combined with the latest technology, supports customers from the financial world in successfully implementing the ever-changing regulatory requirements.
With the ACTICO FIU Reporting Solution, Money Laundering Reporting Officers (MLROs) can generate suspicious activity reports (SARs) directly within the ACTICO Compliance Solutions and upload the XML file to the FIU.
