Monitor and screen every activity
Alessa monitors every transaction, including cash deposits, wires and checks, to detect suspicious activities. With this holistic view, any alerts are sent to the appropriate personnel for further investigation, remediation and reporting.
Machine learning and analytics
By learning from historical data, Alessa is able to detect suspicious deviations from normal behavior. Anomaly detection is also combined with rules-based analytics and entity risk scores to reduce false positives and prioritize investigations.
Learn from past decisions
Configure the system to learn how investigations are handled and then reapply those decisions to future alerts and cases. This highly configurable feature reduces workloads and repetitive decisions.
Eliminate tedious reporting
Alessa offers automated regulatory reporting for currency transaction reports (CTRs), suspicious activity reports (SARs) and suspicious transaction reports (STRs).
Reports are auto-populated, validated and electronically submitted to regulators across multiple jurisdictions, including FinCEN and FINTRAC. goAML is also supported.
