A Purpose-Built Solution for Modern AML Needs
DataVisor’s AML solution is purpose-built to support the full compliance lifecycle, from detection and investigation to reporting and resolution. Leveraging Generative AI, the platform automates critical tasks such as triaging alerts, streamlining manual processes, and filing regulatory reports. This extensive automation significantly boosts operational efficiency, allowing compliance teams to focus on high-priority cases.
The cloud-based platform features a comprehensive dashboard and reporting system that provides in-depth insights into AML alerts, case statuses, and team progress. With customizable views tailored to different roles, organizations can prioritize tasks effectively and ensure alignment across teams. According to the Forrester report, “The vendor closely follows regulatory changes with improved regulatory reporting features. Watchlist management was better than others, along with third-party integrations and reporting.”
A Holistic Approach to Financial Crime Prevention
One of DataVisor’s standout features is its unique approach to FRAML (Fraud and AML). By enabling shared data but not workflows, the platform fosters cross-team collaboration while maintaining operational independence. This approach helps organizations reduce total cost of ownership, improve investigation efficiency, and gain a 360° view of financial crime risk.
The Forrester report highlights that “The solution is extremely strong in entity risk-score definitions, updates, and management, including on-demand periodic customer watchlist risk rescoring.” It further notes, “The solution is a great fit for organizations that require end-to-end AML tools offering fraud management capabilities.”
