Suspicious Event Filtering


Using proprietary algorithms, FTG's solutions analyze complex combinations of transactions, database changes, threshold comparisons, and period-over-period time frames. Real-time analysis is applied where appropriate, e.g. ACH and Teller transactions. Suspicious activity is scored, graded and quantified to eliminate most false positives.

Only when considered SAR worthy are suspects input into FTG's enterprise wide case management framework.



Enterprise Wide Case Management

FTG provides a streamlined organization-wide approach to effectively investigate and manage risk and compliance-related issues in a proactive manner.

Case Management is interfaced to FTG's AML, CTR and fraud products and other investigative tools a financial institution may be using. It manages numerous case types and the investigation processes that should be applied to them and can be readily configured during setup to meet any special needs a customer may have.

Using smart link analysis and triage techniques, the case management tool identifies hidden relationships and previous cases and assigns cases to appropriate investigators based on user configured rule sets. It sets and tracks case priorities and automatically completes SARS and Reg E documents and letters with complete narrative and editing for electronic filing. SAR history is managed with full note taking and audit capability.

ML Shield and Lexis/Nexis Interface

Focus Technology Group’s acclaimed anti-money solution is supported by an integrated Financial Crime Platform, an automated interface to Lexis/Nexis and Case Management. When applying and using any of FTG’s financial crime solutions, there is never a need to shop for multiple interfaces.

The ML Shield solution is delivered with scripts and the Lexis/Nexis interface already in place and configured for your financial institution.

Once an account or customer is flagged as meeting suspect money laundering parameters, ML Shield automatically performs tests to dynamically risk rate for probability and to search for previously hidden anomalies in customer records and transactions. The most complex transaction and customer activity layering is readily detected. Risk ratings can be increased when Lexis/Nexis name matching meets chosen parameters. For example, when an Investigator confirms that a suspect individual matches the FBI MOST WANTED List, the risk rating is automatically increased.

Changes to fixed and variable risk scoring, algorithms, transaction analytics, user interfaces, hidden identity analytics, case management, Lexis/Nexis interfaces, analysis scheduling and reporting and other features and functions can be readily re-configured by users. Free support is always available. Auto updates to meet new compliance and external audit requirements are immediately accommodated by a US based technical staff and professionals who are CAMS certified.
