"Failing AML compliance has serious consequences. On top of potential prison sentences, fines reached $8.1 billion dollars in 2022"

Despite increasing efforts and investment, large banks still fall victim to accidentally providing services for financial criminals.

Manually monitoring customer interactions limited in scope and resource-intensive without automation.

AML Solution
and Checks

Anti-money laundering, or AML, is a challenge for online businesses. On the one hand, they want to remain compliant to avoid fines from regulatory bodies. On the other, deploying verification checks is expensive, time-consuming, and high-friction – especially if they don’t have the resources of a large financial institution.

This is precisely why SEON’s AML solution helps. Simply enter a name into our AML module and SEON will automatically find matches in relevant lists. That includes PEPs (Politically Exposed Persons), RCA (Relatives and Close Associates), crime lists, sanction lists, and more.

SEON’s AML lists cover the entire globe, and new lists are added and updated all the time, allowing you to enable continuous monitoring. If the status of your customers or business associates changes, you will be alerted as soon as possible, allowing you to take the necessary next steps, such as filing a SAR (Suspicious Activity Report).

By combining AML, and fraud prevention in one single tool, you reduce data silos, boost compliance, and reduce the costs associated with all three risk management strategies.

"As soon as our staff used SEON on a regular basis, they could see its value. It immediately started saving them time as they didn’t have to trawl through the usual checkpoints. So much so, that the time spent by Air France analysts on manual reviews is down by an impressive 70%. Instead, all the information they needed was on one screen with a simple scoring system enabling them to see if a transaction was real or not."

Eric Facquet

Deputy Manager of Fraud Prevention

"The most useful thing for us was to be able to see if the email and phone numbers weren’t registered anywhere. We also rely on the device fingerprinting metadata in our scorecard to filter out junk users. We immediately saved about 6% of costs on our automated KYC checks. After only 2 months, we started seeing impressive results. Up to 3 times fewer cases of defaulting customers in new regions such as Romania and Europe. 4 months later, the fraud rates dropped by over 65%."

Sergey Bogdanov

Chief Risk Officer

"We were looking at another provider, but they came back to us with a 4-6 months integration window. With SEON, it was literally a phone call, sandbox tests on Monday and by the end of the week, it was done. One other thing I’d like to comment on is the pricing model. It’s really 2022, like for scaling together. The SEON model, it’s now one we actively look for with our other partners. Clearly an organization that approaches work and its customers in a different way."

Coert Snyman

Senior Analyst

"I tested some extra rules, and over a few months I managed to push SEON’s auto approval from an initial accuracy of 95% unto 99.5%. Taking the time to update your SEON rules is an investment that gives great results. And the best thing is that we can do so without deploying any software. From an engineering perspective, it is extremely time and resource saving, allowing us to react much faster."

Phillipp Keller

Senior Product Manager

"I couldn’t believe how fast the results came,” says Gergely. “Our chargeback rates dropped by 91% in one month only.” Moreover, the number of manual queries and fraud catch rates continued to improve after the initial 30 days as the system adjusted itself – part of the benefits of deploying a machine-learning algorithm to fine-tune accuracy."

Gergely Kálmán

CEO

"SEON allows us to stay one step ahead as by keeping advantage players at bay we are able to continue offering competitive bonuses with low wagering requirements to our players,” Daniel says. “And the fact that SEON team are so open to feedback and implement the feedback quickly gives us as their client a significant advantage which we couldn’t find with other competitors in their field."

Daniel Saliba

Head of Compliance

"It wasn’t just the technology that’s great though, the education side of things helped us understand the types of tactics and patterns used by fraudsters and put rules into place to prevent them."

Stacey Pickering

Head of Operations

"We deployed SEON both on our website and web app to gather device data as well as IP and email information. It was unbelievably fast, both in terms of integration and results. In 4 days only, our fraud rates were pretty much down to 0."

Lewis Bye

Senior Projects and Operations Specialist

"We overlay SEON’s digital and social lookup with device fingerprinting to get a good indication of whether the phone or tablet belongs to the actual client. We can instantly filter out obvious fraudsters with no digital or social presence, and we get better intelligence to automate our decision making."
