AML & KYC Automation

Graph neural networks and AI transaction monitoring that detect money-laundering patterns, PEPs, and sanctions risk with far higher precision, cutting the false positives that consume compliance teams while strengthening detection.

Overview

What is AI AML & KYC automation?

Anti-money-laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) programs must detect illicit activity across enormous transaction volumes. Legacy rule-based systems generate overwhelming noise, by industry benchmarks, 85–95% of alerts are false positives, each taking 30–45 minutes to review.

AI AML/KYC automation uses machine learning and graph neural networks to model the relationships and behaviors behind real financial crime, sharply reducing false positives (sources report reductions up to ~90%) while surfacing sophisticated patterns rule engines miss, with human investigators making the final call.

The Challenge

Compliance teams drown in false positives

More than 90% of transaction-monitoring alerts at most banks are false positives, by McKinsey's estimate, a massive cost that also buries the genuine signals investigators need to find.

01

Overwhelming False Positives

85–95% of legacy alerts are false positives, each costing 30–45 minutes of review.

02

Missed Sophisticated Crime

Rule engines miss layered, networked laundering patterns that don't trip fixed thresholds.

03

Rising Regulatory Pressure

Expectations and penalties grow while transaction volumes climb.

04

Investigator Burnout

Endless low-value alert review drives cost and turnover in compliance teams.

End-to-End Implementation

How Solnix implements AML & KYC AI

A phased rollout that runs AI alongside existing rules to prove false-positive reduction and detection gains before cutover, with full explainability for regulators.

Phase 01
01

Discovery & AI Opportunity Mapping

We start by understanding your operations, data landscape, and goals, then map where AI delivers measurable value and where it does not. Every engagement begins with a prioritized opportunity backlog, not a technology pitch.

Deliverable  AI opportunity roadmap with prioritized, sized use cases and a phased delivery plan.
Phase 02
02

Data Foundation & Readiness

AI is only as good as the data behind it. We assess data quality, connect fragmented sources, and build the secure, governed pipelines that production AI depends on, with privacy and compliance designed in from the start.

Data integrationQuality & labelingGovernance & access controlPrivacy / compliance controlsFeature & knowledge stores
Deliverable  Unified, governed data foundation and pipelines ready for model development.
Phase 03
03

Model & Agent Development

We build the models, retrieval systems, and AI agents tailored to your use cases, selecting the right approach (fine-tuning, RAG, multi-agent orchestration) for accuracy, cost, and latency, and validating against your real-world edge cases.

Deliverable  Validated models and agents benchmarked on your data, with documented accuracy and guardrails.

Integration & Workflow Embedding

AI only creates value when it lives inside the tools your teams already use. We embed models and agents into existing systems, surfaces, and workflows, so adoption is natural and human-in-the-loop controls stay in place.

Deployment, Security & Compliance

We deploy to production with the security, monitoring, and compliance controls enterprises require, including bias and fairness testing, audit logging, and the observability needed to operate AI responsibly at scale.

Optimization & Continuous Improvement

AI systems improve with use. We measure outcomes against the goals set in Phase 01, retrain and tune from live feedback, and expand to the next set of use cases, turning a single deployment into a compounding capability.

Methodology

How Solnix builds for capital markets

01, Trading & Risk Workflow Assessment

We map your desk, risk, and compliance workflows to target the AI interventions with the clearest, measurable edge.

02, Market-Data & Model Architecture

We build governed pipelines over market, reference, and alternative data with the latency and lineage trading and risk demand.

03, Model Validation & Backtesting

Every model is backtested and independently validated against historical regimes before it informs a decision.

04, Compliance & Audit by Design

Explainability, audit trails, and model-risk-management alignment (SR 11-7) are built in, not bolted on.

05, Continuous Monitoring

Live monitoring tracks model performance and drift across regimes, triggering revalidation as markets change.
