Regulators need to step up on AML data sharing

In the second part of Euromoney’s focus on transaction monitoring, we look at the value of the financial intelligence being generated and how it can be shared more effectively.

In addition to concern around the cost and operational performance of transaction monitoring systems, there are doubts as to whether the information generated is fit for purpose.

Feedback on effective suspicious-activity submissions is a concern for many regulators.

“The regulatory bodies receive millions of suspicious-activity reports annually and how that data is utilized plays a large role in how effective the fight against financial crime is,” says Ted Sausen, director and anti-money laundering (AML) subject matter expert at Nice Actimize.

“It is estimated that less than 2% of laundered money is identified and seized,” he adds.
