Transaction Monitoring System

Definition

A Transaction Monitoring System is a technological solution designed to analyze financial transactions in real-time or retrospectively for suspicious patterns or activities. These systems utilize rules-based engines and artificial intelligence to identify anomalies that may indicate money laundering, fraud, or other illicit behaviors. Implementing such a system is a core component of anti-money laundering compliance for financial institutions. It provides an automated layer of defense against financial crime.
