In software terms, it is the logic that decides which transactions get flagged, held, or escalated for human review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why It Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Regulators expect a risk-based AML program rather than a checkbox one, and fines against banks and crypto exchanges for weak controls have reached hundreds of millions of dollars. A monitoring system that floods analysts with false alerts is a problem too, because real cases get buried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Dotcode Applies It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We build transaction monitoring, screening, and case-management workflows as configurable rules rather than hard-coded logic, and add machine learning where it cuts alert noise, so analysts spend their time on real cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AML compliance is the set of laws and internal controls financial businesses use to detect and prevent money laundering, including transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, and suspicious activity reporting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What Is AML Compliance?
