RegTech Solution for Compliance and AML (AML SHILED)

AML SHIELD

Your strategic partner in combating financial crimes and transforming compliance from an operational challenge into a real competitive advantage.

Challenges

In light of the changes witnessed in the financial sector driven by the expansion of digital financial services and emerging technologies, the sector is experiencing an increase in exposure to attacks and financial crimes.

This is accompanied by a continuous increase in regulatory requirements to protect the financial sector and reduce risks, where institutions face growing challenges represented in:

  • Combating financial crimes and money laundering and reducing their risks
  • Compliance with changing regulations and legislations
  • Processing diverse transactions while ensuring compliance and reducing operational costs
  • Keeping up with evolving financial crime methods, responding effectively, and developing solutions to reduce them
Therefore, traditional compliance and financial crime–fighting methods within institutions are no longer sufficient.

The solution is AML SHIELD

AML SHIELD combines the latest technologies and deep expertise in compliance and financial crime prevention to deliver a platform that provides:

  • Advanced artificial intelligence for detection and automation
  • Measurable results in efficiency and accuracy
  • Easy applicability and integration with other automated systems
  • Training and technical support around the clock
  • Continuous updates and ongoing innovation

Smart solutions using artificial intelligence (AI) and AML SHIELD

1. Customer Acceptance

Start the relationship with your customers correctly through smooth digital onboarding compliant with best standards. The intelligent implementation of Know Your Customer and Customer Due Diligence (KYC/CDD) collects customer data, verifies it, and evaluates risks in real-time — automatically.

2. Advanced Name Screening

The customer's name is screened across more than 200 global and local sanctions lists, as well as Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) databases, within fractions of a second.

Smart matching algorithms reduce the false positive rate by up to 95% while maintaining a detection accuracy of up to 99%, enabling your team to focus on real risks.

3. Transaction Monitoring

Using the latest AI technologies, customer behavior and changes in transaction patterns are monitored to identify suspicious ones through building suitable and dynamic scenarios based on the customer’s risk profile; while behavioral analytics reveal changing cases in real-time.
Result: Fewer alerts ⟵ Higher accuracy ⟵ Faster decision-making ⟵ Fully trusted compliance.

Risk-Based Approach (RBA)

AML SHIELD adopts a dynamic and practical risk assessment framework fully aligned with FATF recommendations by analyzing and evaluating a set of criteria, including:

  • Geographical risks: assessing exposure levels to different countries and regions
  • Product risks: analyzing the nature, patterns, and volume of transactions
  • Channel risks: examining the service channel or the method used to perform the transaction
  • Customer risks: studying behavior and profile to assess risk level

AML Alerts Management

Transform investigation processes from complexity to clarity. The integrated workflow system in AML SHIELD provides:

  • Creating alerts for suspicious cases and automatically setting priorities
  • Assigning cases to the specialized team based on expertise and job level
  • Tracking the verification process, expected processing timeline, and escalation if needed to prevent delays
  • Saving all suspicious case records for future reference
  • Applying quality control checkpoints to ensure accuracy and efficiency
  • Easily modifying and developing all alerts in accordance with business requirements

Regulatory and Supervisory Reports

Through AML SHIELD, Suspicious Transaction Reports (STR)
and Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR)
are generated automatically, along with attaching all required supporting documents. The integrated verification system ensures full compliance with local and international reporting standards.
