A Complete and Friendly Solution for an optimal management
Money laundering represents a growing risk to the financial community.
In order to be able to control its business, and better manage its activities, a company needs to know its commercial relationships
by checking the evolution of its clients/employees behavior, and identifying the nature and the cycle of all financial transactions
day-by-day.
Financial institutions are responsible for performing checks, screenings and reporting’s, as well as identifying and denounce any
suspect transaction, while at the same time providing an efficient and reliable service to their customers.
The associated rules and international regulatory framework mainly penalizing the foreign countries, international terrorists
and drugs dealer’s lists usually changing, etc., all this creates a complex environment for banks. You need a complete solution
that covers all these legal and statutory needs, as well as international rules.
SMART-AML provides an end-to-end AML solution, integrated with the core of banking platform. It is based on the effectiveness
of dedicated, automated transaction monitoring systems, together with the introduction of the Risk Based Approach (RBA).
MAIN GOALS OF SMART-AML
SMART AML satisfies the following objectives:
Real-time Payment Screening: Tracking down and screening in real time any payment order before their execution, in order to
prevent making funds transactions that risks any managing order violation, foreclosures and other measures.
Transaction Monitoring: The automated process of monitoring transactions upstream or downstream of their execution
allows the identification of unusual/ suspicious transactions, including monitoring single transactions as well as transaction
flows, for subsequent review and, where appropriate, the reporting to the relevant authorities.
Client Screening (KYC): In order to better segment the clients and answer to due diligence obligations imposed in AML matters,
this module collects all the clients’ information and their transactions and makes analysis based on consistency checking rules
and triggers the appropriate alerts.
Automatic compliance: with national and international regulations (including watch lists).
Retroactive Searches: The identification and linking of current and archived transactions, as well as existing and closed
accounts/relationships, in order to undertake due diligence and respond to external ( e.g., regulatory) enquires.
FLEXIBLE RULES AND RISK – BASED APPROACH
SMART AML is based on a large and flexible set of rules and
profiles in addition to a risk scoring models which strongly
depend on the institutions business model, the products and
services it offers and the nature of its customer base.
We believe that risk-based approach enhances the effectiveness
of monitoring for unusual and potentially suspicious activity, to
the extent that such activity is distinguishable from legitimate
activity.
In all cases the objective is to focus on monitoring the most
unusual and potentially suspicious transactions whilst reducing,
as far as possible, the “false/positive” rate.
CUSTOMER DUE DILIGENCE TOOLS (KYC)
SMART AML implements the Customer Due Diligence principle
which is an important tool of risk identification and assessment in
the AML software to detect suspect entities trying to infiltrate a
financial system.
It provides tools such as:
List Screening: to determine if an applicant appears inside any
kind of published lists, Black lists and internal Watch lists.

KYC Compliance: Compliance evaluations (get to know the client) to supervise the
observance levels of the national and international regulation. Customer accounts are scanned
regularly to detect potential red flag that requires the triggering of alerts.
INTELLIGENT ACCOUNTS AND TRANSACTION MONITORING
SMART-AML contains an effective set of risk-based monitoring rules
related to financial transactions, its functional capabilities insures
the following tasks:
 Compare clients and accounts activities during the
reporting period against relevant transaction history
over a time period that the institution considers to be
reasonable and appropriate;
 Compare customers’ and their transactions’ data against
a broad rule base and risk scoring models;
 Issue alerts if unusual and potentially suspicious
transactions are identified;
 Track those alerts in order to ensure that they are
appropriately managed within the financial institution
and that suspicious activity is reported to the
authorities as required;
 Maintain an audit trail for inspection by the institution's
audit function;
 Provide appropriate aggregated information and statistics.
AML MODULE AND PROFILING
This modular and friendly system allows, amongst others, the automation of the following tasks:
 Screening based on black lists (watch-lists) and PPE lists, “Politically Exposed Person” (PPE/ PEP).
 Intelligent Monitoring on clients and/or employees actions, …
 Meticulous Analysis on financial and operational transactions.
 Trends behavioral identification and commercial relationship.
 Identification of client’s profiles and their potential risk.
 Alerts generation and their orientation towards the appropriate person.
 Quick and effective follow up and management of actions and transactions on hold.
SCENARIOS
A scenario is a combination of a filter and a group of actions that
the system applies during the checking process according to a set
of user-defined rules. The user configures its appropriate rules
based on selected criteria to identify the clients/transactions
making a model called “Scenario”.
The scenario establishes the AML upper level control process.
The user specifies:
 The control strategies to be used according to the
nature and characteristics of the flow.
 The origin of the watch-lists to use (OFAC, ONU, UE, PPE
…).
 The type of control (by word or by phone).
 The set of rules to be applied.

 Actions and transactions to be gathered in the same group.

ALERTS MANAGEMENT
SMART-AML relies on its robust alert engine that is
essentially the basis from which all AML investigation
begins.
With a risk based approach it is imperative that the
assembled data can be dissected to reflect the risk
factors that the institution has identified. The system
provides an effective investigation tool by presenting
alerts hierarchically by category, data sources,
priorities...
All important information related to the relevant
alerts are available including client details, accounts,
beneficiaries, related transaction...
Depending on its risk degree, an alert can lead to
block the relevant transaction or simply notifying the
concerned person of its presence. The user analyses
these details, and takes one of those three decisions (reject, accept or notify a second level controller). A set of reports are available
including Suspicious Activity Report (SAR).
OTHER FUNCTIONALITIES
 Security is applied everywhere in the system: "Role", "Password Metre", "Alerts" on processes, “Four Eyes” controls
(double validation).
 A « Scheduler » allows the system to launch and monitor batch processes, etc.
 Black lists (OFAC, ONU, UE, BKEN...) as well as PPE lists are automatically downloaded from their respective suppliers’
websites and integrated into the application by using the scheduled tasks.
 Compliant officers are directly alerted to the existence of new alerts through pop-ups and/or e-mails.
 By defining access rules based on selected criteria such as nature of the flow and/or transaction properties so that the
administrator can limit user’s access to the only concerned client and transactions.
 All systems activities and user’s activities are tracked in log tables accessible via screen and reports.
 Sorting and filtering options allow the users to personalize reports.
 All reports can be exported under CSV, Excel, PDF …
TECHNICAL ASPECTS
J2EE (Java) technology is recognized as one of the preferred development technologies nowadays and offers many benefits, such as
integration; Scalability of the system can be achieved through load balancing and clustering. The user access to the system is done
through an Internet browser.
Main characteristics of the system are:
 Easily Integrates in all environment and easily interfaces with other existing systems.
 Offers powerful and efficient search and investigation functions.
 It easily adapts itself the bank needs.
 Manages all financial flow: international transactions, payments/ national transfers …
 It integrates itself into SWIFT Alliance Access platform to be able to control all incoming and outgoing messages.
 Supports a large number of connectors such as files, database, IBM MQ, Web service, sockets …) and any other text format
(plat, XML, Excel, SWIFT …).
