Fit around transaction monitoring
Use Vantage for the investigation that follows an alert. Connect authorised information from existing systems and examine the wider context around the activity.
Understand the people behind suspicious activity.
A transaction alert tells a financial-crime team where to start. Azonic helps investigators examine the actors, accounts and related activity behind it—and retain the evidence for the people who review the case.
The alert is fast. Understanding it takes work.
A potentially suspicious transaction can lead an investigator across customer records, related accounts, public information and separate intelligence tools. Individual alerts may look unrelated until that context is assembled.
The team must determine what is supported, document its reasoning and pass a usable record to the next reviewer. That investigative work continues even when transaction monitoring is already well established.
Example use case
Investigate a possible mule network.
Use an alert as a lead to examine relationships around authorised account and transaction information, alongside other relevant sources.
Illustrative example. Arrows follow example account activity. Cyan marks a path for review.
- Triggering activity
- Related accounts
- Account for review
Bring the context together
Keep the triggering alert and the records your institution authorises in one investigation. Add relevant intelligence around the identifiers involved.
Assess the relationships
Examine activity across related accounts and actors. Review the sources behind each proposed link, including explanations that need further checking.
Support the case review
Prepare findings with citations and a clear record of the reasoning. Your financial-crime team decides the appropriate regulatory or operational response.
What matters for
your team.
Reasoning a reviewer can follow
Keep supporting sources, observations and reviewed conclusions together. Colleagues can distinguish established findings from relationships that remain uncertain.
Controlled handling and release
Discuss customer-information access, deployment and report-sharing requirements with us. Your institution defines the authority and controls under which investigative work takes place.
Vantage
Investigate the context around an alert, connecting relevant actors, account activity and supporting sources within the case.
Lighthouse
Follow emerging schemes and relevant actors outside the active case queue, so the team can assess developments that may affect its investigations.
Putting Azonic
to work.
Where does Vantage fit between an alert and our existing case review?
An alert provides the starting point. Vantage supports the investigation around it: bringing together authorised account information, relevant actors and supporting sources. The integration should reflect how your team receives work and returns findings to its existing review process.
What can investigators examine beyond the triggering transaction?
The relevant account and customer records your institution authorises, alongside other sources that help explain the actors and activity involved. The available information and permissions determine what can be examined; those should be established for the intended workflow.
How can a reviewer examine the basis for a proposed account relationship?
Keep the supporting sources and observations alongside the finding. The reviewer can inspect what supports the relationship, follow the investigator’s reasoning and identify questions that remain open.
How would we scope the handling of customer information?
Establish the records needed for the investigation, which users may access them and the handling requirements for reviewed outputs. Discuss deployment within your infrastructure or cloud environment and the access boundaries for each connected source before implementation.
