Developing Financial Crime Software

In the competitive market of financial crime prevention, a global technology company set out to develop a leading cloud-based Anti-Money Laundering (AML) product. 

To achieve this, the company needed a synthetic data solution that could replicate the complexity and scale of real-world financial transactions while ensuring full compliance with privacy regulations. Syntheticr Ecosystem became the cornerstone of their development and training process, enabling the creation of advanced machine learning models that power their AML platform today.

Developing sophisticated AML models requires access to vast amounts of high-quality data representing complex transaction patterns with embedded criminal activity. However, the sensitivity of real customer data and strict data privacy regulations created significant barriers to using live data for model training and validation. The vendor needed:

  1. Rich, realistic datasets to simulate real-world financial crime scenarios

  2. Privacy-preserving data that met global regulatory standards

  3. A scalable environment to test and train machine learning algorithms at speed

Syntheticr Ecosystem provided the vendor with a diverse, high-fidelity synthetic dataset designed specifically for financial crime analytics. This synthetic data accurately mirrored the structure and behavior of real transaction networks without exposing any personal information, making it an ideal resource for model development.

Key contributions included:

Robust Model Training

The synthetic dataset enabled the vendor’s data scientists to train advanced AML models on realistic transaction flows, capturing nuanced patterns indicative of suspicious behavior.

Comprehensive Scenario Testing

Syntheticr enabled extensive testing across multiple crime typologies, by providing detailed ‘Performance Assessment Reports’ ensuring the models were accurate and effective.

Privacy Compliance by Design

Leveraging synthetic data eliminated privacy concerns, enabling faster iterations and collaboration without regulatory roadblocks.

Using Syntheticr Ecosystem, the global technology vendor successfully developed and validated the product’s financial crime models. The product was launched commercially with confidence, backed by thorough testing in synthetic yet highly realistic environments and a tier-1 global bank won an award as a result of using it.

The vendor’s solution now helps financial institutions worldwide detect suspicious activity with greater accuracy and speed while maintaining stringent privacy standards.
