Anti-Money Laundering Alert Triage Agent
Community bank group, Mountain West US
01 / Challenge
The BSA/AML team was drowning in 2,800 alerts per month from a rules-based transaction monitoring system with a false positive rate of 94%. Analysts were spending 85% of investigation time on non-suspicious activity, resulting in a 6-week investigation backlog and FinCEN filing delays that created regulatory exposure.
02 / Approach
We deployed a two-stage AML triage agent: a first-pass classifier running inside the bank's on-premises environment that scores alerts by suspicion likelihood using behavioral pattern analysis, followed by an evidence aggregation agent that automatically pulls transaction history, KYC records, and adverse news for high-priority alerts before human review.
03 / Outcome
Alert false positive rate dropped from 94% to 61%. Analyst capacity for genuine SAR investigations increased 3.2x. Investigation backlog cleared within 8 weeks of go-live. The system identified 14 SAR filings in its first 90 days that would have been delayed or missed under the prior manual process.
