DetectX® for financial firms

Fast rails. Remote customers. One record for the supervisor.

Payment institutions, asset managers, fintechs, crypto-asset service providers and funds carry the same duties as a bank, often with a smaller team. DetectX® runs screening, payment checks, fraud detection and the audit trail on one platform. Start with one solution and add the rest when you need them.

What financial firms are up against

Four compliance pressures shared by payment institutions, e-money institutions, fintechs and crypto-asset service providers, and how DetectX® answers each one.

None of them is new, and none of them goes away.

  1. Instant payments settle in 10 seconds

    Under the EU Instant Payments Regulation, a euro instant payment must reach the payee within 10 seconds. That leaves payment and e-money institutions no time for a manual check, and every payment rail still has to be screened against the same sanctions lists.

    Screen every payment rail against the same lists

    DetectX® Instant Payment Screening checks the parties to each instant payment in the seconds it allows. It uses the same sanctions lists and whitelists as DetectX® Transaction Filtering, so instant and standard payments are judged the same way.

  2. Customers you never meet

    Fintechs and digital lenders onboard customers remotely, from a phone. After sign-up, a correct password is often the only proof the customer is who they say they are, which leaves the door open to account takeover.

    Check the customer at onboarding and in every session

    DetectX® Name Screening checks each new customer against PEP and sanctions lists at onboarding. DetectX® Digital Identity then compares every online or mobile session with the user’s own past sessions, and flags one that does not match.

  3. Fraud moves faster than batch monitoring

    In an account takeover, a new device and a new payee often appear minutes before the money leaves. Overnight batch monitoring finds the fraud after the funds are gone.

    Detect fraud as transactions arrive

    DetectX® Real-time Transaction Monitoring analyses each transaction as it arrives. DetectX® Behavioural Analysis compares it with the customer’s own pattern and with similar customers, so an unusual payment raises an alert straight away.

  4. The licence depends on the audit trail

    Payment institutions, e-money institutions and crypto-asset service providers hold licences their supervisor reviews. When the supervisor asks why an alert was closed, the answer has to be on the record.

    Keep every decision on one audit trail

    DetectX® Workflows records each step, comment and four-eyes sign-off on the alert, with who did it and when. DetectX® Regulatory Reporting builds suspicious activity reports for the FIU from data already on the platform.

Built for the firm you are

Every kind of financial firm carries a different risk.

A payment institution, an asset manager and a crypto exchange answer to the same anti-money laundering rules but see very different cases. Pick the one that sounds like yours.

Suggested starting points. Every DetectX® solution is available to every financial firm.

Payment & E-Money Institutions

Volume on instant rails.

Payment institutions and e-money institutions process payments around the clock, often on rails that settle in seconds and with a small compliance team. Every party to every payment still has to be screened against sanctions lists before the payment is released.

  • Every party to every instant payment screened
  • One screening policy for every payment rail
  • Lists and whitelists kept in sync across rails
Where to start
Asset & Wealth Managers

Fewer clients, more structure.

Asset managers and wealth managers serve clients who hold wealth through trusts, foundations and holding companies, sometimes through an external asset manager. Some clients are politically exposed persons (PEPs), and the instruments in a portfolio can themselves be subject to sanctions.

  • Beneficial owners behind every structure
  • Sanctioned instruments and issuers in client portfolios
  • Adverse media on clients and related parties
Where to start
Fintechs & Digital Lenders

Growth, remote customers, fraud.

Fintechs and digital lenders onboard customers from a phone and never meet them in person. Fast growth brings volume, and volume brings fraud such as account takeover, hidden inside sessions that look ordinary.

Crypto-Asset Service Providers

New licence, old obligations.

Crypto exchanges, custodians and brokers licensed as crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) under the EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) carry the same customer due diligence and sanctions duties as other financial firms. Their supervisors are still forming a view of the sector, so every decision has to be on the record.

  • Customers screened against PEP and sanctions lists
  • Every review and decision on one record
  • Evidence ready when the supervisor asks
Where to start
Funds & Fund Administrators

Investors in, investors out.

Funds and fund administrators take subscriptions and pay redemptions through distributors and nominees across many countries. Every investor and beneficial owner has to be identified, screened and given a risk rating, and so does whoever receives a redemption.

  • Investors and beneficial owners at subscription
  • Every investor given a risk class
  • Unusual subscription and redemption patterns
Where to start

Why financial firms choose DetectX®

Five duties should not mean five systems.

When a firm adds a tool for each duty as it grows, one to screen, one for payments, one for fraud, each keeps its own lists, its own queue and its own record. DetectX® runs them on one platform, so every alert lands in one queue and every decision in one audit trail.

Illustrative example. Which solutions a firm runs is configured per institution.
