Sanction Screener

Deterministic entity extraction (org/person/vessel) into a sanction watchlist. (Action Co-pilot: generates next-best-actions (actions.json), follow-up tasks and calendar reminders on top of the analysis — what to act on today.)

Fraud Radar

Run a set of deterministic, explainable fraud heuristics over a bank statement. Two check types: fictitious_cash (round-number padding, large cash withdrawals, high-frequency identical amounts, weekend large amounts) and shareholder_misappropriation (related-party / shareholder keywords, outflow with no repayment / long-outstanding). Every hit lists the rule and evidence — leads for human review, not conclusions. Outputs a 2-sheet Excel.

Quick answer

MCP Nexus streamlines AML compliance by chaining money-laundering risk assessment, sanctions screening, control recommendations, and compliance-file generation, taking AML due diligence from days to hours with traceable evidence.

  • Customer and transaction ML risk is auto-rated, with high-risk items flagged upfront.
  • Sanctions and watchlist screening is built in, with hits carrying match rationale and disposition advice.
  • Fraud and anomalous-transaction signals are screened in tandem, reducing the miss rate.
  • Generates an audit-ready AML compliance file, ready for regulatory examination at any time.
  • Runs on your own machine; customer and transaction data never leave your network.

What is AML & sanctions screening with MCP Nexus

AML compliance identifies, assesses, and controls money-laundering and sanctions risk and builds a traceable compliance file. MCP Nexus chains aml-risk-assessor, aml-control-recommender, sanction-screener, fraud-analysis, and compliance-check to automate customer due diligence, watchlist screening, risk rating, and file generation. It suits banks, payments, securities, and compliance/risk teams, running fully on-premises with no data leaving your network.

How it works

1Step 1
Import customer and transaction data
Upload customer profiles, transaction detail, and beneficial-owner information. MCP Nexus structures them automatically and identifies the entities and transactions to screen.
2Step 2
Risk rating and sanctions screening
aml-risk-assessor returns a risk grade with drivers, sanction-screener matches against sanctions/watchlists (including fuzzy matching), and fraud-analysis spots anomalous transactions, with hits and high-risk items reason-tagged.
3Step 3
Control recommendations and compliance file
aml-control-recommender proposes tiered controls and due-diligence measures, compliance-check maps against checklists, and an audit-ready compliance file is generated for regulatory examination.

Real use cases

Onboarding due diligence (KYC/AML)
A payments firm ran automated due diligence on new customers; risk rating and sanctions screening completed instantly and high-risk or hit items went to review upfront, markedly improving onboarding compliance throughput.
Due diligence in minutes
Transaction-monitoring alerts
A bank monitored a large transaction volume; anomalies and suspicious patterns were auto-alerted and classified, and a draft suspicious-transaction report was assembled, reducing the miss rate.
Suspicious reports auto-assembled
Bulk sanctions re-screening
A securities firm re-screened its existing book against sanctions and watchlists; fuzzy-match hits carried rationale, and disposition advice was written into the compliance file for examination.
Traceable hit evidence

FAQ

Which sanctions and watchlists are supported?

Major sanctions/watchlists and custom lists can be imported, with exact and fuzzy matching; hits carry match rationale and confidence for analyst judgment.

Can risk-rating rules be customized?

Yes. Risk factors, weights, and thresholds are configurable, supporting tiering by customer type, geography, industry, and transaction features, outputting a grade with drivers.

Is the compliance file usable for examinations?

Yes. It includes risk rating, screening results, controls, and disposition records with traceable evidence, exportable to PDF/Excel for regulatory examination.

How is the miss rate reduced?

Risk assessment, sanctions screening, and fraud analysis work in tandem, cross-validating signals and flagging suspicious items upfront, reducing single-rule misses.

How are data security and compliance ensured?

Everything runs on your machine; customer and transaction data never leave the network, with private deployment and access control, fitting financial confidentiality and AML regulation.
