Key Features
The ACTICO Compliance Suite is an application that uses machine learning methods and offers multiple compliance functionalities for banks and financial services providers:
Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter Terrorist Financing (CTF)
The ACTICO Money Laundering Detection System (MLDS) detects unusual behaviour patterns and money laundering anomalies in payment transactions. It helps banks to carry out the risk assessment of customer relationships.
Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and Know Your Customer (KYC)
Continuous monitoring of KYC profiles and risks to meet customer due diligence requirements based on KYC profiling, risk classification, beneficial ownership, integrated checks in the onboarding process.
Payment Screening – Know Your Transaction (KYT)
The ACTICO NMT module checks incoming and outgoing payments before they are posted. This involves checking payments against sanctions list data such as BIC, countries and recipients. Unusual transactions are reviewed or stopped before execution.
Customer screening and PEP checks
Actico’s NMT module automatically compares new and existing clients against checklists. Regular checks ensure that banks recognize high-risk individuals in their database and identify politically exposed persons (PEPs).
Prevention of market manipulation
The automatic monitoring of Actico’s MAID module checks the securities orders against scenarios that indicate market abuse, breaches of rules or insider trading.
Detection of fraud and other criminal acts
The software checks persons, transactions and securities orders using predefined compliance rules. Based on these rule sets, the Compliance Suite automatically decides whether a compliance risk exists.
Benefits
Avaloq Standard Adapter
The Avaloq Banking Suite works reliably with the Compliance Suite via a standard adapter. Avaloq’s open platform architecture makes it quick and easy to add innovative external solutions. Many Avaloq clients are already successfully using the Actico Compliance Suite.
Support from Machine Learning
Compliance officers define the rules used to detect unusual behaviour. Actico's machine learning component combines the knowledge of experts and data. Machine Learning is a module that integrates seamlessly with the business modules of the ACTICO Compliance Suite. It allows known fraud patterns to be detected more precisely and unnecessary clarifications of false positives to be avoided. Experience shows that machine learning reduces the effort required to clarify false positives by almost 60%.
Dealing with Regulatory Changes
Banks have to master complex business rules in order to meet the demanding regulatory requirements such as the 6th Money Laundering Directive (6AMLD), CDB 20 and the FINMA Money Laundering Ordinance (MLO-FINMA). The connection to the ACTICO Compliance Suite gives Avaloq’s clients additional flexibility, transparency and auditability to address the regulatory challenges associated with financial crime.
"Our partnership illustrates the importance Avaloq attaches to the basic principle of an open platform architecture. It enables us to quickly add innovative external solutions to our own range of products and services in order to provide our banking clients with the best possible offering at all times."
