AML Transaction Monitoring Rules
Risk Rules Engine
Fast growing fintech startups use LogicLoop to monitor abusive behavior on their platforms and stay compliant with FINRA, SEC and BSA/AML requirements. LogicLoop empowers compliance managers to quickly set up rules on top of company data to raise alerts for their team to review. Without LogicLoop, analysts are often stuck waiting for engineers to implement alerts directly in the codebase, inhibiting their ability to iterate quickly and experiment.
To get started with monitoring bad actors on your platform on LogicLoop, you'll first want to connect your company's data sources. This could be production databases like Postgres or MySQL, warehouses like Snowflake, Redshift or Big Query, or APIs like Socure or Sentilink. Once connected, you can use sample industry templates below as guidance to bootstrap your program. The following templates have been simplified and specific details have been omitted due to the sensitive nature of the content. Contact us at [email protected] to access our fully detailed suite of fraud & risk monitoring formulas.
Query your data to select transactions with large dollar amounts.
For each transaction flagged, create a ticket for your analysts to review. You can automatically generate a ticket in LogicLoop's Case Management System.
Specifically, FINRA has released an AML monitoring template for small firms. LogicLoop can help you put these rules in practice, with our complete set of templates. Some examples of the templates we have available are:
