Oracle (ORCL - Free Report) -owned Financial Services division has introduced its Financial Services Compliance Agent.

The artificial intelligence (AI)-powered cloud service enables banks to run inexpensive and hypothetical scenario testing to adjust transaction monitoring thresholds and controls. This allows banks to more effectively identify suspicious activity and meet anti-money laundering (AML) compliance requirements.

The solution can evaluate a new product's risk profile and test controls to mitigate these risks cost-effectively, reducing time to market. It provides statistical analysis to set appropriate and non-excessive AML controls.

The solution can proactively assess and tune systems to detect high-risk typologies like human trafficking. This fortifies monitoring against emerging threats.

Compliance teams can use the Financial Services Compliance Agent's AI analytics to make evidence-based decisions on optimizing transaction monitoring controls and thresholds rapidly and cost-effectively.

By leveraging AI-powered analytics, the solution enables banks to stay ahead of evolving money laundering tactics, make data-driven compliance decisions and introduce new products rapidly without undue risk exposure.
