London-based securities and investment bank Mizuho International has chosen SymphonyAI Sensa for AML detection within its European Capital Markets Division.

 

SymphonyAI Sensa's comprehensive scenario rules, combined with advanced machine learning models, including changes in behaviour, risk similarities, anomaly detection, and hotspot identification, provide insights for more effective and increased risk detection.

Mizuho International chooses SymphonyAI Sensa for AML detection

Existing SensaAML customer deployments demonstrate a significant increase in the discovery of risks compared to existing methods, while reducing costly false positive alerts by more than 60 percent, according to the company.

Officials from Mizuho said that they are happy to be deploying industry-leading AML transaction monitoring (TM) capabilities. Their next-gen AML TM strategy sought a more refined rule detection and advanced AI solution to find real AML risk and reduce false positives and analyst review times by holistic scoring. They needed a solution that helps analysts, through user interfaces, to deliver all the information needed to expedite investigations.

Also commenting on the partnership, officials from the fraud prevention company stated that by delivering SensaAML as SaaS, they enable Mizuho to achieve better results in its efforts to combat financial crime. In addition, implementation times and costs will manifest these benefits in weeks instead of years.
