The AML & SAR Automation Hub monitors transactions for structuring, layering and other suspicious patterns, and turns alerts into cases your investigators can work. It drafts the FinCEN Suspicious Activity Report from the case, so your BSA officer reviews, approves and files it. Every alert, decision and report keeps its reasoning and evidence, ready for internal audit and examiners.

What it is for

Most BSA/AML teams work across a monitoring system that produces alerts without context, spreadsheets that track cases, and a separate process for writing and filing SARs. Analysts spend their time gathering transactions and customer files rather than judging them, false positives crowd out the cases that matter, and filing deadlines are tracked by hand. When examiners ask why an alert was closed or how a threshold was set, the answer is spread across emails, notes and memory.

  • Alerts arrive without the reasons or related activity an analyst needs to decide
  • Case files are assembled by hand from several systems
  • SAR narratives are written from scratch and deadlines tracked in spreadsheets
  • Tuning decisions and closed alerts are hard to evidence at exam time

Who uses it

  • BSA/AML officers and investigators at banks and credit unions
  • AML analysts who triage alerts day to day
  • Compliance leadership who answer for the program
  • Model risk and analytics teams who tune detection scenarios
  • Internal audit and examiners, who need evidence of every decision

  • Your organization licenses AML & SAR Automation Hub from Moraph.
  • A Moraph client account in that organization, signed in.
