ACBB set to transform and strengthen its fight against financial crime with Alacer Group’s Velocity, a 360º AML solution
January 26, 2022
Pennsylvania, USA | January 26th, 2022 | ACBB, the region’s leading bankers bank, has announced that it has chosen Alacer Group’s Velocity FinCrime Solutions Suite, the powerful BSA/AML regulation software, to offer end to end AML coverage. Utilizing Velocity’s FinCrime Solutions Suite modules, ACBB’s 350+ banks will be benefitted from its highly secured and efficient AML compliance system.
Financial Institutions are susceptible to criminal activities including money- laundering, terrorist financing, and fraud. Jurisdictions globally require financial institutions to monitor, investigate and report transactions of any suspicious nature to financial intelligence units. Failing to do so, attracts hefty penalties, heavy fines, regulatory restrictions, even to the point of charter revocation. As a trusted banker’s bank, ACBB has followed compliance regulations and provided the same support to its partner banks throughout the years.
ACBB will strengthen its entire anti-financial crime operations with Velocity FinCrime Solutions Suite. Velocity is powered by the latest Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technologies and offers multiple detection methods with advanced analytics engines. It will help ACBB achieve AML compliance while reducing risks and increasing efficiency. Velocity’s robust database and systems architecture with a proven track record of handling millions of transactions and accounts will equip ACBB with a powerful weapon in its fight against financial crime.
ACBB will be using Velocity TBMS: Transaction Monitoring for detecting, alerting, scoring, and reporting to regulatory authorities while depending on Velocity KYCR: Customer Risk rating to successfully ensure appropriate understanding of the underlying risk of its customers’ risk profile. Velocity ICMR: Case Management and Reporting will support ACBB with smart technical capabilities in a user-friendly interface to centralize all alerts and case workflows in one place making it easier to create, investigate, review, approve and file automated SAR reports in an accelerated manner. Velocity CSR: Cannabis Screening functionality will provide ACBB with reduced false positives while investigating entities in CRB Monitor lists against transaction and customer data.
