IBM Financial Crime Management Solution Overview and Solution Demo
Financial Crime   I s  O n the  R ise! of businesses were victims of fraud of banks failed to catch fraud before funds were transferred out of fraud attacks, the bank was unable to fully recover assets of businesses said they have moved their banking activities elsewhere Only 20% of banks were able to identify fraud before money was transferred.  “ The ROI of investing in fraud prevention is clear.” 58% Source: Ponemon Institute/Guardian Analytics study, March, 2010 80% 87% 40% 20% A poll of 500 executives and owners of small and medium businesses showed:
Fraud activities continue to rise 48% of fraud cases involve insiders 5% fraud activities cause 5% of pre-tax income for U.S. financial institutions  $1,000,000 Average loss when a high-level executive is involved 400% When an insider is involved, loss increases by an average 400% A study in U.S. found:
Example: Common Types of Credit Card Fraud Fraudulent possession of card details (CNP Fraud) Counterfeit Lost or Stolen Mail non-receipt fraud Identity theft Detect at application, activation and account maintenance Detect at Activation Detect at trax authorization 14% 7% 30% 26% 23% Often organized crime Western Countries Detect at trax authorization Detect at trax authorization
Challenge #1 – Follow up instead of intercept Off-line Analysis and Investigation Asynchronous Monitoring and Confirmation Real-Time Automatic Decisioning and Approval Precise Rules and High Performance System
Challenge 2 – Traditional Technology Can’t Process Large Transaction Volume For example, a large international or regional bank’s credit card center will have to detect over 10M transactions a day = 623/second  (99% confidence level)  or 644/second  (99.9%confidence level)  or 663/second  (99.99% confidence level)
Challenge 3 – Traditional Technology Only Monitor Single Transactions Multiple  activities  usually involve in a fraud  event Many fraud patterns involve diverse systems and seemingly unrelated activities, e.g. multiple login attempts, followed by a combination of changes in PIN and contact information followed by an unusually large withdraw or transfer.
Challenge #4 – False Positive Rate Too High Event What is Happening? When to Act? What Action? Event Rules Business Rules Precise Event Rules and Business Rules Reduce False Positive Rate !
Solution from Package Vendors Transaction Score Action Model Blackbox? Need vendor to change ? Other events (Change of Address, PIN error, replacement card, call center query, etc.) 1000’s Trax/Sec Is environment developing too fast to train the models?  Performance? Mode Description Disadvantage Real-Time Transaction scores in real time  &  recommendation send to authorization decision ing High  HW  requirement Online Plus Score is based on last transaction, send to authorization server for decision making 1st  fraud transaction is lost Online Enables analyst response, but no feedback to authorization No feedback to authorization decision Detection response depend on analyst action Near Online / Frequent Batch Score batch send to analyst workstations at pre-determined time intervals Time lag from transaction execution to analyst action may reduce effectiveness ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Banks Require a  Flexible and Expandable Platform Leverage strengths of existing systems that are cost effective, adopt best-of-breed alternatives to address deficiencies An integrated crimes platform: Consolidates alerts across channels Conducts 2 nd  tier analytics Automates certain user activities A consolidated and integrated operational organization (to the extent possible) addresses customer-based alerts Integrated environment generates improved Business Intelligence which benefits tactical functions and enables strategic thinking The Financial Crimes Steering Committee: Implements top-down policy based on organization risk tolerance Prioritizes and manages initiatives Collaborates with stakeholders to drive a smarter, safer business

Event rule sample case Condition A: Transaction occurs between 0:00am to 6:00am Condition B: Transaction ammount is lager then 2000 Condition C: 3+ times transactions  in passed 1 hour and Potential transaction TM01 Condition A: Password was modified within today Condition B: 3+ times transactions  in passed 1 hour Condition C: Accumulative total amount  is larger than 8000 and Potential transaction TM02
Pre-Built Rules &  Design  Interface - iLog
Event rule implement sample
ILOG base score based on event type get customer info, do fraud type check based on fraud type, call related score table to score transaction base on fraud score, generate fraud case and write in database 规则流 base score table based on event type Event type A Event type A Score table A Score table B Event type C Event type and score table relationship ( N:1)
ILOG score base on customer behavior when input event type meet this table, do condition match and adjust base score Score table base on customer behavior model
Data Model
Generate potential fraud case Input column : First column : potential fraud type Second column : transaction score Output column : First column : final fraud type Second column : description of fraud Generate potential fraud case based on event type and score

Prospecting Questions Is there a  dedicated organization  for financial crime management or AML? Is there a  roadmap  for AML or Anti-Fraud? How much does the bank  suffer from fraud  activities in credit card and other payment transactions? Has the bank been  fined by regulators  for money laundering related activities? If the bank uses foreign packages for AML and Fraud management, does the bank feel having  control and ownership  to adapt to the fast-changing environment and fraud patterns? Show the demo.
