CASE STUDY
From North America to India: AML RightSource Enables Compliance Transformation
In 2018, a leading global FinTech company partnered with AML RightSource to support its sanctions screening and compliance needs. Over the years, this partnership has grown to include a broad range of workflows, scaling operations across geographies and ensuring consistent quality and compliance. By transitioning operations from North America to India in 2023, AML RightSource has helped the client achieve greater efficiency and scalability while maintaining high service standards.
Challenge
The client required robust sanctions support, including adjudicating 30,000 sanctions alerts per month, with a strict 12-hour SLA including weekends and holidays. Additionally, the client needed to manage fluctuating volumes across multiple workflows, such as EDD reviews, PEP screening, machine learning reviews, and case investigations for global customers.

What AML RightSource Did
To meet the client’s complex compliance needs, AML RightSource implemented a phased, scalable approach, transitioning operations across geographies while maintaining high-quality service delivery and compliance. Our solutions evolved alongside the client’s requirements to ensure consistent support and operational excellence.
01
AML RightSource initially deployed a team of 10 analysts in North America to adjudicate sanctions alerts and conduct quality assurance oversight, ensuring all alerts were addressed within the client’s 12-hour SLA.
02
The team size was scaled to support additional workflows, including alert adjudication, EDD reviews, PEP screening, machine learning reviews, and case investigations, growing from 30 to 110 FTE as needed to manage fluctuating volumes.
03
In 2023, AML RightSource transitioned the operation entirely from North America to India, completing comprehensive knowledge transfer sessions. North American leadership spent time in India to ensure seamless knowledge transfer, stabilize operations, and maintain compliance standards.
Global Managed Services Approach
AML RightSource deployed a tailored managed services model to address the client’s compliance needs, providing end-to-end support for sanctions screening, EDD reviews, PEP screening, machine learning reviews, case investigations, and fraud work. By leveraging a phased and scalable approach, we ensured seamless execution across workflows and geographies while maintaining strict compliance with the client’s 12-hour SLA and delivering consistent quality.
