Preemptive Money Laundering for a large US bank

article banner

Overview.

The client’s collections department handles different products such as credit cards, mortgages, loan, overdraft etc. 100k bank accounts get scanned/month, where 6-7k defaulters are identified/month. Here, mode of repayments could be CS, auto payments through saving accounts or cheque. This client needed a more robust collections system that can adapt to the complexities of modern financial crime.  

Challenges.

  • Ever increasing AML activities and decreasing detection rates 
  • Traditional clustering using KYC details and behavior patterns 
  • Customers are complex entities and need continuous monitoring for anomalous behavior 
  • Transaction rules are not sufficient 

Solution.

  • Identify important data points: Demographic, Transactions, Balance Data 
  • Using Coforge’ s in-house AI accelerator, aggregate data and build customer clusters 
  • Each customer is a mixture of prototypes of clusters. Soft clustering behavioral misalignment score is generated. 
  • Suspicious customers are:
    • not in any cluster
    • misaligned within the clusters
    • deviate from the cluster prototype 
  • Also, magnitude of the delay for payments to be received is estimated. 

The Impact.

  • Pre-empt the collection process 
  • Early detection of risky collections 
  • Increase recoveries 
  • Improve customer churn 
  • Minimizing operational cost 
  • Efficient fraud management 
  • Improvement in fraud detection rates  
  • Significant fall in false positives 
  • Effective workload management 
  • Reduced manual intervention
