Machine Learning and AI - Changing the Anti-Money Laundering Solutions Game

This press release was orginally distributed by SBWire

Reykjavik, Iceland -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/21/2022 -- Money laundering is a crime that generates many costs, from financial losses through to human lives. In an effort to stem the tide of financial crime, financial institutions worldwide are now increasingly investing in AML Solutions. In fact, in 2020, they spent an estimated $214 billion on financial crime compliance. The potential cost to the business of extensive money laundering - as well as the penalties that are being handed out by regulators in ever higher numbers, make these investments worthwhile. However, they do still take up a significant proportion of the budget for any organisation, large or small. Technology has proven to be a game changer when it comes to implementing AML Solutions - machine learning and AI, in particular, have a lot to add when it comes to changing the way that enterprises tackle money laundering.

In a recent report, McKinsey identified that it was in the field of transaction monitoring where the most benefit is to be gained from investing in AML Solutions. Here, machine learning can be combined with other sophisticated algorithms, including gradient boosting and deep learning, to help optimise the investment that is being made in AML Solutions and make them more effective. Leveraging granular, behavior-indicative data to build sophisticated algorithms is what machine learning models do and this is much more efficient and effective than many existing rules-based approaches. It's clear that criminals have had the advantage in money laundering up to this point. However, machine learning and AI could finally provide the advantage that organisations have been seeking.

It's this kind of insight that caused Lucinity to focus on integrating AI into its AML Solutions platform. This is a technology that integrates the best of AI and machine learning with key attributes of human intelligence, including the abilities that humans have when it comes to contextualising, interpreting and creatively combining numbers. Every element of Lucinity software has been designed to make it easy to implement effective AML Solutions, from the comprehensive transaction monitoring - which offers better detection and faster review - to the actor intelligence, which is backed by comprehensive data analysis. The platform also includes the Lucinity SAR Manager, which makes it simple to file and manage all SARs in one place. The motivation behind all of this is to Make Money Good and to give every organisation the tools to minimise the potential for exposure to money laundering.

This has been Lucinity's mission since the business was first established in 2018. It has come a long way since then, including expanding into a number of new offices, such as London, Brussels and New York. Key core values guide everything that the team does and ensure that Lucinity expands its AML Solutions in alignment with its principles. These values include shared intelligence, the pursuit of excellence with integrity and humility - as well as nurturing the kind of quiet strength that empowers the business and its clients in the fight against financial crime.
