Transforming Fraud Detection and AML for a Leading Financial Institution

At RaptorX, we understand that fraud and money laundering threats evolve rapidly, often outpacing traditional detection methods. Financial institutions struggle with inefficiencies, regulatory pressures, and operational bottlenecks, leading to massive financial losses. This case study highlights how our advanced Machine Learning (ML) platform helped a leading financial institution transform its fraud detection and AML efforts, setting a new benchmark for accuracy, speed, and compliance.

The Challenge: Why Traditional Fraud Detection Fails

A leading financial institute ("the Bank") faced significant obstacles in its fraud detection and AML operations. Key challenges included:

• Excessive False Positives: 95% of alerts were false alarms, leading to wasted compliance resources and inefficiencies.
• Delayed Detection: Fraud was typically identified in 7 to 14 days, giving criminals ample time to exploit the system.
• Undetected Fraud: 70% of fraudulent activities, including complex schemes like layered money laundering and mule networks, went unnoticed.
• Regulatory Scrutiny: The Bank faced increasing pressure from regulators, with potential fines exceeding $10-15M annually.

Recognizing the limitations of traditional methods, the Bank sought an advanced solution capable of delivering real-time, high-accuracy fraud detection while reducing operational overhead.

The RaptorX Solution: Unparalleled AI-Driven Fraud Detection

RaptorX deployed its cutting-edge ML platform, integrating:

• Patented Models: Our models analyze transaction patterns, account relationships, and entity behaviors to identify previously undetectable fraud patterns without relying on labeled data.
• Temporal AI: This capability monitors time-based fraud trends, such as sudden transaction spikes, to enable proactive intervention.
• Self-Learning AI: Our platform continuously evolves, adapting to emerging fraud tactics without requiring manual updates.

The Pilot Phase: Delivering Measurable Impact

To validate our platform’s effectiveness, RaptorX was initially deployed on a subset of transactions. The results were game-changing:

How accurate the system is at finding things (Detection Accuracy):

Before RaptorX: It was right only 30% of the time.
After RaptorX: It was right 98% of the time.
This is a big improvement, a 226% increase in accuracy.

How often the system makes mistakes (False Positives):

Before RaptorX: It made mistakes 95% of the time.
After RaptorX: It made mistakes only 5% of the time.
This is a huge improvement, a 94% reduction in mistakes.

How long it takes the system to find things (Time to Detect):

Before RaptorX: It took 7 to 14 days.
After RaptorX: It takes less than 1 hour.
This is much faster, 168 times faster.

Key Outcomes: How RaptorX Transformed Fraud Prevention

With RaptorX, the Bank achieved groundbreaking improvements:

• 98% Detection Accuracy: We uncovered fraud schemes that legacy systems overlooked, including sophisticated money laundering networks.
• 5% False Positives: Our precision-driven approach significantly reduced false alerts, allowing compliance teams to focus on real threats.
• <1 Hour Fraud Detection: Real-time monitoring stopped fraud in its tracks, protecting assets and reputation.
• Regulatory Compliance: Automated Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and explainable AI ensured full compliance with global AML standards.
• $10M Savings in Just 3 Months: Our solution reduced financial losses and operational inefficiencies, with the potential to save up to $50M in a full-scale implementation.
