CASE STUDY
Tech Giant Strengthens Financial Crime Compliance with Expert Support
In 2020, a leading global technology organization began partnering with AML RightSource to bolster its anti-money laundering and fraud detection capabilities. As partners in the fight against financial crime, we uncovered elevated risk typologies and remain on the frontline, diligently identifying emerging threats.
Challenge
Our partner needed immediate support, including customer due diligence and transaction monitoring reviews, to determine suspicious activity and prevent financial crime from occurring within their platform’s payment function. With an average run rate of 30,000 transaction monitoring reviews annually, the global technology giant needed a trusted compliance partner to support and enhance their compliance operations.

What AML RightSource Did
We started with a small team of AML RightSource specialists to attend client-led training, to be certified in their specific compliance processes and procedures. Upon completion, we deployed a train-the-trainer model, ramping our internal resources from 5 to 40 FTE, with the oversight by the client.
01
Over 30,000 transaction reviews were successfully completed with common typologies identified and documented. Since 2020, we have continued to process this volume annually.
02
The client’s needs led to expanding the AML RightSource team to approximately 150 FTE in North America. The scope of work extended to include ID verification reviews and test and control support, in addition to fraud transaction monitoring reviews and due diligence.
03
Based on our experience working within the client’s environment, we provided periodic efficiency reports and process optimization recommendations to further support their compliance program, fortify their operational approach and identify additional threats posed to the platforms’ payment function.
Global Managed Services Approach
AML RightSource deployed a specialized team of managed services professionals to address our partner’s due diligence, fraud transaction monitoring review, ID verification review, and controls/testing support needs. Throughout the engagement, we have partnered closely with their internal teams to unlock additional efficiencies in their financial crime compliance and onboarding processes and deliver industry-leading quality service.

Value Delivered
Our work resulted in the organization’s ability to formally address, escalate, and close an average of 30,000 transaction monitoring reviews annually. Through our review of their transactional activity, internal records, and external research, we were able to provide further value in the form of research and validation of user information and suspicious account activity, identify transactions indicative of fraudulent activity, and help fortify the technology organization’s money laundering controls and thresholds to account for their customer population’s needs.
AML RightSource’s ongoing partnership with the technology organization has yielded significant results:

Our team successfully addressed the client’s TM volume (30k annually), resulting in a healthier regulatory compliance posture while also supporting user onboarding and verification and helping streamline their suspicious activity identification protocols.

We effectively managed and streamlined our partner’s internal processes and directly supported the continued build of their AML and Fraud program.

Over the last 4+ years, we have continued to enhance operational efficiencies and uphold global standards of excellence throughout the client’s compliance program, with approximately 150 FTE.
