The client’s sanction screening process was ineffective and plagued by a large number of false positives, rudimentary technology, and labor-intensive processes. It needed a cutting-edge solution that could enhance cost savings and reduce full time equivalents.

• Built a client policy database

• Enabled a machine learning-based resolution of potential hits

• Developed additional rules to improve resolution confidence

• Implemented an audit trail for resolving false hits

• Reduction of 52 percent in full time equivalent (FTE)

• Savings of over US$2.4 million in costs

• Implementation of industry-standard sanction operations
