Financial Crime Doesn't Wait. Neither Should Your Compliance.
Money laundering evolves constantly. Criminal networks exploit transaction patterns, jurisdictional gaps, and system delays. Traditional AML systems generate thousands of false positives while missing sophisticated layering schemes.
MAIA's AML Risk Scoring Agent transforms financial crime prevention from reactive investigation into autonomous intelligence. It monitors every transaction in real-time, learns from emerging patterns, and prevents suspicious activity before it escalates.
Core Capabilities
Real-Time Transaction Monitoring
Analyzes every transaction against risk parameters, velocity patterns, and behavioral baselines. Detects structuring, smurfing, and layering schemes in milliseconds—not hours.
Dynamic Customer Risk Profiling
Continuously assesses customer risk based on transaction history, geographic exposure, business relationships, and PEP status. Risk scores update automatically as behavior changes.
Automated KYC & CDD Verification
Executes customer onboarding checks, sanctions screening, and enhanced due diligence without manual intervention. Triggers re-verification when risk indicators escalate.
Suspicious Activity Detection
Identifies complex money laundering patterns including trade-based laundering, round-tripping, and nested accounts. Automatically escalates alerts with full investigative context.
FIAU-Ready Reporting
Generates audit-ready Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) aligned with Malta FIAU requirements. Maintains compliance documentation for regulatory examination periods.
Cross-Border Risk Intelligence
Tracks jurisdictional risk, sanctions lists (OFAC, EU, UN), and correspondent banking relationships. Flags transactions involving high-risk geographies before settlement.
