Lynx Tech introduces its next-generation Anti Money Laundering (AML) Screening Solution, designed to help financial institutions identify high-risk individuals and entities with accuracy and speed.
The rise of global sanctions, increased scrutiny of Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) and the evolution of sanction evasion tactics have rendered traditional screening methods slow and prone to false positives. With the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime estimating that between 2 and 5% of global GDP is associated with money laundering each year—between €715 billion and €1.87 trillion—regulators continue to strengthen AML requirements in response to evolving financial crime risks, urging financial institutions to reinforce their risk management frameworks and adopt effective compliance measures.
The Lynx AML Screening Solution is Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven, highly configurable and designed to evolve with the changing regulatory landscape. Unlike legacy systems that rely on outdated rule sets, Lynx’s technology:
• Utilizes proprietary Natural Language Processing (NLP) models and machine learning to enhance name similarity scoring.
• Supports over 100 languages, addressing phonetic, cultural, and alphabetic variations.
• Offers adaptable watchlist management, enabling business users to modify screening logic in real time.
• Utilizes proprietary Natural Language Processing (NLP) models and machine learning to enhance name similarity scoring.
• Allow customers to customize rescreening rules according to their policies, thereby eliminating unnecessary alerts with Tailored Delta Lists.
Becki LaPorte, Strategic Advisor in the Fraud & AML practice at Datos Insights said, “In a world marked by constant turmoil, the intricacies of economic sanctions have become increasingly complex. Coupled with public corruption that thrives in the gaps between transparency and oversight, where relationships, transactions, and motives can be disguised as routine governance, hidden risks can thrive. It is important to have a solution that addresses the demand for faster payments while applying a risk-based approach to effectively weed out threats posed by bad actors in a transparent way. The Lynx AML Screening Solution is well positioned to support watchlist screening in this complex global ecosystem.”
