BSA/AML: Manual Monitoring Systems

When it comes to monitoring for suspicious activity as part of your BSA/AML program, your institution’s size and complexity generally plays a role when determining whether you can/should use manual monitoring processes or a more advanced software-based system that might utilize artificial intelligence. No matter which type of monitoring your institution uses however, you won’t find a one-size-fits-all approach. Since each institution has its own set of unique risks (customer base, geographic location, etc.), their monitoring systems will be unique as well.
