Client Introduction
The client is a leading US-based super-regional bank with over USD 200 billion in asset size, offering retail and commercial banking services, wealth management, investment solutions, and more.

Problem Statement
The bank was facing an increasing number of regulatory sanctions leading to increased false positives due to:
- Heightened geopolitical risks.
- Increased regulatory scrutiny.

Solution Approach
Anaptyss Financial Crime Compliance experts assessed the case, determining key intervention areas and the remedial approach as follows:
- False alerts for negative news and Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs).
- Domestic customers based in the United States.
- Individual/retail customers.
They determined that an advanced “logic-driven and evolutionary” algorithmic automation solution could reduce the false positives significantly. A solution based on this technique could drastically reduce the manual efforts, risks, and regulatory scrutiny.

Key Requirements
- Data transmission from WLM to solution and decision alerts from solution back to WLM.
- Reduction in manual or human intervention.
- Real-time processing of alerts.
- Generation of audit trails and reports.

Business Outcomes
- 75% accuracy for detecting false positives.
- Significant reduction in manual efforts as only 25% of genuinely suspicious and complicated cases were remaining for Level 1 and Level 2 reviews.
- Improved compliance with regulatory sanctions.
- Effective safeguard against financial crimes and geopolitical risks.
