Detect Suspicious Activity the Moment It Happens
Real-time AML transaction monitoring that combines rule-based detection, sanctions screening, and behavioural analytics — helping compliance teams identify financial crime faster, file SARs with confidence, and satisfy MAS, FCA, FinCEN, and FATF monitoring obligations.
Financial Crime Doesn't Wait — Your Monitoring Can't Either
Transaction monitoring is the ongoing obligation — required by every major AML regulator — to review customer transactions in the context of their risk profile and escalate anything that doesn't fit the pattern. It is the operational heart of an AML programme. Strong KYC at onboarding means nothing if the firm never looks at what the customer does afterwards.
Legacy monitoring systems were built for a different era. Batch-processed overnight, tuned to static rules that generate tens of thousands of false positives, and producing alerts that take analysts days to work through. The result: alerts arrive too late, analysts burn out, genuine risks hide inside the noise, and regulators increasingly find monitoring programmes inadequate during supervisory visits.
One Constellation's Transaction Monitoring solution is designed for how financial crime actually happens today — in real time, across channels, and often faster than humans can respond. Our engine evaluates transactions as they occur, screens every counterparty against global watchlists, applies configurable behavioural rules, and creates smart alerts with the context the analyst needs to make a fast, defensible decision.
Real-Time Alerts as They Happen
A live snapshot of what your analysts and MLRO see in production — high-priority alerts surfacing within seconds of the underlying transaction, with the context they need to act.
Built for Modern AML Operations
Every capability a modern AML team expects — and a few more that legacy platforms don't offer. All running live, all in one integrated system.
Real-Time Detection
Transactions scored and screened as they occur — not at end-of-day batch. Alerts surface within seconds, not days.
Configurable Rule Engine
Deploy, test, and tune rules without engineering. Out-of-the-box libraries for structuring, velocity, layering, and typology-specific scenarios.
Behavioural Analytics
Customer-specific baselines flag deviations from normal behaviour — catching the risks static rules miss.
Sanctions Screening
Every counterparty screened in real time against OFAC, EU, UN, HMT, MAS, and other global sanctions lists.
Smart False-Positive Control
Entity resolution, contextual scoring, and analyst feedback loops cut noise dramatically, focusing attention on real risk.
Case & SAR Management
Every alert becomes a case with full audit trail. Structured SAR preparation and filing workflow built in.
From Transaction to Resolution, in One Flow
Every transaction that flows through your systems is evaluated, scored, screened, and — where necessary — escalated. Here's the pipeline.
Ingest
Transactions received in real time from your core banking, payments, or trading systems via REST API or streaming connector.
Enrich & Screen
Counterparty enriched with KYC data and screened against sanctions, PEP, and adverse media lists.
Evaluate Rules
Configurable rules and behavioural models assess each transaction against customer risk profile and segment baseline.
Alert & Resolve
Scored alerts routed to the right analyst. Disposition logged. SARs prepared where needed.
Out-of-the-Box Rules for the Typologies That Matter
Every compliance team has its own risk appetite and customer base, but the underlying typologies of financial crime are shared. We ship with pre-configured rules for the most common and the most material — ready to tune to your environment.
Structuring & Smurfing
Detect deposits or transfers deliberately kept below reporting thresholds to avoid detection. Aggregate across accounts, time windows, and counterparties.
Rapid Movement & Layering
Identify funds received and then rapidly moved on — a classic money-laundering layering indicator. Speed, counterparty dispersion, and jurisdiction all factor into scoring.
Velocity & Volume Anomalies
Customer-specific baselines identify unusual spikes in transaction volume, count, or value relative to normal behaviour and peer-segment patterns.
High-Risk Jurisdictions
Transactions involving FATF grey-listed or sanctions-adjacent jurisdictions automatically escalated, with full context provided to the analyst.
Counterparty Concentration
Identify unusual concentration with a single counterparty — a common indicator of trade-based money laundering and invoice fraud.
Sanctions & PEP Exposure
Every counterparty screened against global sanctions lists and PEP databases on every transaction. Positive matches block the payment and open an immediate case.
