TRANSACTION MONITORING

Transaction monitoring with connected investigation intelligence

Connect transaction alerts with fraud, AML, identity, device, and behavior signals so teams can build investigation-ready cases and make explainable decisions.

Verafye supports transaction monitoring workflows that connect alert creation, risk prioritization, review queues, case formation, and evidence trails - helping fraud and AML teams move from isolated alerts to investigation-ready cases built on the Verafye platform.

How Verafye Fits

Verafye does not require you to replace your existing transaction monitoring system

Connected Intelligence Alongside Existing Monitoring

Most common

Your existing TM system stays in place. Verafye connects alongside it and adds entity graph, network context, device and behavioural signals to each alert — improving investigation quality without changing your monitoring programme.

Best for: Institutions with existing TM investment seeking stronger connected-risk context around each suspicion

Verafye-led Monitoring

Run transaction monitoring natively within Verafye — rules engine, AI-based detection, typology patterns, and behavioural analytics in one platform, from alert creation through case closure.

Best for: Institutions building a new monitoring programme or replacing a legacy stack

Parallel Assessment

How RSR starts

Run Verafye alongside your existing monitoring on actual transaction data — without any commitment to change. Risk Shadowing produces a direct comparison to determine whether connected context adds material incremental intelligence.

Best for: Institutions evaluating monitoring coverage or considering modernisation

The Problem

Rule-Based Monitoring Can Create High Investigation Cost Without Enough Context

Transaction monitoring is one of the highest-cost, lowest-signal functions in financial crime operations for many institutions. Legacy monitoring stacks generate large alert volumes, yet many of those alerts do not lead to substantive investigations — consuming analyst capacity without proportionate improvement in risk detection or compliance outcomes. Transaction monitoring is also a non-discretionary AML obligation: regulators expect institutions to demonstrate effective controls, proportionate coverage, and the documented decision trails that examiners scrutinise during review.

High Alert Volumes with Low Signal Quality
Rules-based monitoring generates millions of alerts annually - the vast majority of which are false positives that consume analyst time without surfacing genuine financial crime risk
Fragmented Data Across Systems
Transaction data, device signals, entity attributes, and behavioural patterns sit in separate systems with no shared network risk view - preventing the cross-signal detection that modern financial crime demands
Alerts Without Entity or Network Context
Alerts are generated at the transaction level without the entity, relationship, or network context that analysts need to assess risk accurately and make confident investigation decisions
Manual Reconstruction Before Every Investigation
Without pre-assembled context and structured workflows, analysts spend the majority of their time gathering information rather than investigating - extending cycle times and limiting throughput

Why Legacy Falls Short

Why Traditional Monitoring Systems Fall Short

Static Rules Create False Positives

Rules engines fire on individual transaction attributes - amount thresholds, velocity patterns, geographic triggers - without access to the entity, relationship, or behavioural context that would distinguish genuine risk from routine activity. The result is persistently high false positive rates that erode analyst trust and inflate operational cost.

No Context Beyond the Transaction

Transaction monitoring systems evaluate payments in isolation - without awareness of the entity behind the transaction, the device used, the behavioural history, or the network of related accounts. This absence of context means alerts arrive without the information analysts need to assess them meaningfully.

Disconnected From Investigation Workflows

Alert generation and case investigation remain disconnected processes in most monitoring stacks. Analysts receive alerts with no structured investigation context - requiring manual platform switching, data retrieval, and case assembly before any substantive review can begin.

Scaling Requires Headcount, Not Intelligence

As transaction volumes grow, alert volumes scale proportionally under rules-based monitoring - and the typical response is adding analyst capacity. This model does not inherently improve detection quality, alert signal quality, or investigation speed as the institution scales.

Before vs After

What Changes With Verafye

Without Verafye

Alerts generated on transaction attributes alone - no entity or network context

High false positive rates - analysts spend most of their time ruling out noise

Fraud and AML monitoring queues are separate - cross-domain risk invisible and compliance gaps harder to evidence

Analysts manually switch platforms to gather case context before investigation begins

Alert volumes grow with transaction volumes - headcount scales with cost, not intelligence

With Verafye

Alerts enriched with entity profile, device signals, and network context at generation

Contextual enrichment helps deprioritise legitimate activity earlier - fewer false positives reaching analysts

Connected fraud and AML monitoring view - cross-domain risk visible in a single queue, with documented decision trails that support regulatory review

Pre-assembled case context delivered at alert creation - analysts investigate, not research

Connected entity and relationship context can help investigators evaluate coordinated behaviour that may not be apparent when alerts are reviewed individually.

How Verafye Improves It

Connected Monitoring That Surfaces Risk, Not Just Alerts

Verafye connects transaction signals with entity profiles, behavioural patterns, and network relationships - so alerts arrive enriched with the context analysts need to assess, prioritise, and investigate without manual reconstruction.

01

Connects Transactions with Entities and Behaviours

Transaction alerts are enriched with the entity profile behind them - account history, device signals, identity attributes, and behavioural patterns - giving analysts meaningful context at the moment an alert is surfaced rather than after manual research.

02

Uses Graph Intelligence to Surface Network Risk

Graph traversal connects transaction patterns across related accounts, devices, and entities - surfacing coordinated activity, network-level risk, and relationship context that transaction-level monitoring does not surface on its own.

03

Improves Alert Prioritisation

Alerts are organized by entity context, network risk, and cross-system signals - improving investigation queue ordering based on risk relevance rather than transaction volume, recency, or alert age alone.

04

Improves Alert Signal Quality Through Contextual Enrichment

Contextual enrichment at the alert stage supports earlier identification of lower-priority activity in the workflow - improving alert signal quality and reducing the analyst fatigue and operational cost that volume-based queues create.

05

Connects Monitoring to Investigation Workflows With Evidence Trails

Verafye connects transaction monitoring directly to investigation workflows - delivering alerts as structured, context-rich cases with pre-assembled evidence, enabling analysts to move from alert to investigation decision without manual context gathering, and preserving audit-ready evidence trails for compliance review.

06

Connects Fraud and AML Monitoring Signals

Transaction signals from fraud and AML monitoring are connected into one network view - closing the visibility gaps that form at the boundary between fraud detection and AML transaction monitoring and enabling cross-domain risk assessment.

Business Impact

Outcomes Enabled by Connected Transaction Monitoring

Improved Alert Signal Quality - More Analyst Capacity for Genuine Risk

Contextual enrichment at the alert stage enables legitimate activity to be identified and deprioritised earlier - improving alert signal quality and reducing the proportion of non-actionable alerts that inflate investigation workload and erode analyst confidence in the monitoring system.

Better Signal Quality - Alerts That Carry Genuine Risk

Graph intelligence and cross-system signal aggregation improve the quality of monitoring outputs - surfacing alerts that carry genuine risk indicators rather than triggering on transaction attributes alone, improving the ratio of actionable to non-actionable alerts.

Investigation-Ready Cases - Context Delivered at Alert Creation

Pre-assembled case context and direct integration between monitoring and investigation workflows eliminate the manual research phase - enabling analysts to move from alert to an investigation-ready decision with greater confidence and a clear audit trail.

Scalable Operations - Intelligence Grows With Volume

Better alert prioritisation, improved signal quality, and structured investigation workflows reduce the per-alert workload - enabling institutions to manage growing transaction volumes without proportional increases in analyst headcount.

Connected Risk Context Across Transactions and Entities

One connected network view linking transaction monitoring to entity profiles, network relationships, and cross-system signals gives fraud and AML teams a connected, contextual view of risk - enabling better-informed decisions across monitoring, investigation, and reporting functions. This connected view also supports the explainability and audit trail requirements that regulators expect from institutions operating transaction monitoring programmes.

More Connected Monitoring Across Signals, Entities, and Systems

One connected network view linking transaction monitoring to entity profiles, network relationships, and cross-system signals closes the gap between alert generation and investigation context - enabling fraud and AML teams to act on a connected, cross-system view of risk across the monitoring programme.
