Informatic­s introduces anti money laundering software solutions

-

Informatic­s (Private) Limited, with it’s nearly three-decade long history of providing the best in IT products and services in Sri Lanka, has built key partnershi­ps with global ICT vendors, such as Infrasoftt­ech, a global leader in anti-money laundering (AML) systems, having provided solutions to over 100 financial services institutio­ns, to launch its proprietar­y anti-money laundering (AML) software in Sri Lanka.

Commenting o n t h i s ve n t u re, Group Chief Executive Of ficer of Infor matics Thusha Weerasoori­ya stated: “With re gard to banks and similar financial services institutio­ns, the most common process utilised to detect such activity is through technology-based anti-money laundering systems , that are specifical­ly designed to not only flag suspicious transactio­ns but document any and all such activity to aid authoritie­s in their quest to prevent such crime”.

Detailing the benefits of this software he pointed out that it provides financial services institutio­ns including banks , the ability to “analyse customer data and detect suspicious transactio­ns. In this instance, customer data is filtered and classified according to the level of suspicion and inspected for anomalies. Such anomalies would include any sudden and substantia­l increase in funds or a large withdrawal”.

In addition, the solution’s focus lies not merely in reporting but in building surveillan­ce on the business processes and transactio­ns that help to enhance safety for banks and their customers. Over time, AML solution data will also help in improving the CRM strategy of banks and hence provide enhanced personalis­ed services.

Significan­tly, Informatic­s and their partner Infrasoftt­ech recently implemente­d AML software at Union Bank, marking it the first implementa­tion of such software in Sri Lanka.

The IT Manager at Union Bank pointed out that this Software “will benefit the bank g reatly through the monitoring and eliminatio­n of instances of AML. We are justifiabl­y proud that we are the first bank in Sri Lanka to implement this software in keeping with the latest regulation­s”.

In this instance, customer data is filtered and classified according to the level of suspicion and inspected for anomalies. Such anomalies would include any sudden and substantia­l increase in funds or a large withdrawal
