Harnessing Blockchain technology and Artificial Intelligence to

AML CENTRAL detect and prevent money laundering

High efficiency output. Reduced false positives

Secure and private inter-institution collaboration

Regulatory oversight. Instant visibility

2 The Challenge: Money laundering continues to be a global challenge and today’s
archaic AML solutions are unprepared for the emerging world of digital financial
Existing transaction monitoring systems, are unable to keep pace with growing data sources, volume and complexity of transactions

Growing wave of new digital financial services

Silo’d programs; very limited inter-institution collaboration

Too many false positives; very scant automation to deal with it

Scattered data sets; absence of integrated intelligent analysis

Despite spending billions of dollars on AML solutions, financial institutions and regulators continue to face an uphill battle in the fight against money laundering

How a blockchain works

The transaction is
The block that can be
represented online
added to the chain, which
A wants to send as a `block’ The money moves
The block is broadcast to Those in the network approve provides an indelible and

The Blockchain, a cryptographic ledger comprising of a digital log of transactions shared across a public or private network, along with data science and machine learning can
effectively address pitfalls of existing AML systems

The platform gives regulators, auditors and other stakeholders an effective and powerful set of tools to monitor complex transactions, immutably record the audit trail of transaction
across the financial network, identify rogue patterns and strengthen proactive detection and prevention of money laundering.

5 How it works: Financial institutions securely parse data through an AML
engine on the Blockchain and get alerted to potentially suspicious transactions
The distributed ledger system allows financial institutions to share leverage one another's data without compromising on security
or privacy, while the artificial intelligence provides for smart automation and high efficiency output

Key Features * 4. Cryptographically secure – encryption/decryption for

1. Private Permissioned Blockchain network visibility to only entities linked to a transaction and
2. Distinct roles for banks, regulators, exchanges authorized auditors/regulators
and other users 5. Auditing at multiple levels.
3. Distributed system for confidentiality, resiliency, 6. Logs immutably recorded, providing a single version of
and scalability the truth with a complete audit trail of (suspicious)
transaction across the system

* Adapted. Based on the Hyperledger Fabric Blockchain

Being cryptographically secure will ensure credibility while the immutability feature of Blockchains will maintain tamper-proof records for current assessment as well as future
analysis
