The fundamentals of a transaction monitoring system is to identify and protect a financial service center from transactions that are not compliant with the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), anti money laundering (AML) rules and regulations and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).

A transaction monitoring system is necessary because it is almost impossible to safeguard your business without one.

Transaction Monitoring Benefits:

• Identify High Risk Activity
• Protect Your Business
• Maintain Your Banking Relationship

MANUAL VS AUTOMATED

Depending on the size of your institution, you might be sorting through transactions manually, but if you have multiple location, brands and products, you will need an automated system to provide a deeper level of protection.

THE FUTURE OF TRANSACTION MONITORING

Recently the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) set a precedent with Part 504, by requiring all financial service centers to certify they have adopted a transaction monitoring system by April 2018. More states are forecasted to follow.

It is imperative to protect your business by identifying high risk activity and reporting criminals and terrorists to the proper agencies. Automated transaction monitoring makes that cumbersome task simple.
