This includes customer behaviour and transaction monitoring via Siron AML, customer risk screening and rating via Siron KYC and real-time transaction screening via Siron Embargo.
These FICO Siron components can be accessed only by the bank’s authorised employees, who will be responsible for making real-time decisions and performing retrospective operational analysis.
The FICO software solutions have minimised compliance risks for the bank while meeting the regulatory requirements.
FICO vice president for compliance solutions Sebastian Hetzler said: “The challenge here is to comply with international and local regulations and minimizing the bank’s risk exposure while having associated costs under control to stay competitive.
