Tookitaki Releases Whitepaper on Successful Deployment of AI-powered Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Solution in Production; with Contribution from Celent
SINGAPORE, March 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

-Introduces Tookitaki's Anti-Money Laundering Suite Smart Alert Management 
module that differentiates alerts into three risk levels, replacing the legacy 
triage function in the current transaction monitoring system more effectively 
-The Smart Alert Management saw an improvement of 12x operating effectiveness 
for a large global bank 



Tookitaki, which provides Compliance Platform as a Service (CPaaS) to global 
financial institutions, today announced the release of their whitepaper, titled 
"Powering the Next Generation of AML Technology with AI", with contribution 
from Celent. The whitepaper introduces Tookitaki's Anti-Money Laundering Suite 
(AMLS) Smart Alert Management module, which saw an improvement of 12x in 
operating effectiveness for a large global bank whose system generates 80,000+ 
alerts annually. 

To combat the clutter generated in legacy transaction monitoring and screening 
processes, the Smart Alert Management module leverages machine learning (ML) to 
categorize alerts into three risk categories – low risk, medium risk and high 
risk. The solution learns from historical data and investigative outcomes to 
build a highly accurate ML model to differentiate and classify alerts under the 
three risk levels, helping compliance officers to focus on alerts that matter 
most. Financial institutions that generate around 50,000 alerts a year could 
see themselves saving US$1.5m per year. 

Abhishek Chatterjee, Founder & CEO, Tookitaki, said, "Designed to reduce cost 
and drive operational efficiencies, our smart alerts management across 
transaction monitoring and screening enables better financial crime 
identification in a faster time. Joining hands with Celent to create this 
whitepaper helps us drive greater awareness of the efficacy and time-to-value 
of AI and ML-powered AML solutions in today's disruptive landscape where 
financial crime continues to adapt and evolve rapidly." 

"Our resounding success with United Overseas Bank (UOB) is a huge testament to 
the agility, maturity and performance of Tookitaki's AMLS, where we saw an 
overall true positive prediction rate of 96 per cent with close to 40% 
reduction in false positives," he added. 

Arin Ray, Senior Analyst at Celent, said, "Financial fraud and money laundering 
pose both reputational and regulatory risks for the financial services industry 
and its participants. Investments in technological advances and innovation in 
the area of anti-money laundering and financial crime compliance have the 
potential to improve efficiency and effectiveness of compliance programs of 
financial institutions, enhance their financial and shareholder values, and 
positively impact the wider ecosystem in the fight against financial crime." 

On March 9th, 2021, UOB was named the winner of the Celent Model Risk Manager 
Award for 2021 in the Data, Analytics, and AI category due to the successful 
implementation of Tookitaki's AMLS. Celent's annual Model Risk Manager Awards 
recognize the best technology usage practices in different areas critical to 
success in risk.
