Accelerator: FinCrime AML Automation

Business challenge

AML investigations are complex, multi-layered processes requiring coordinated handoffs between L1 and L2 analysts through to MLRO review, with full context sharing and end-to-end auditability to meet regulatory requirements.

Transaction monitoring systems generate high alert volumes,
placing significant strain on operations.

These largely manual workflows are slow, inconsistent, and costly, with limited visibility of bottlenecks, escalations, and prioritisation, introducing material operational risk while increasing compliance and resourcing costs.

The approach

BPMN on Camunda 8 combines deterministic process orchestration with dynamic agent-based execution, supported by human-in-the-loop controls where required.

Built using the Camunda SDK and custom logic, it integrates seamlessly with LLMs, external tools, and APIs to extend process automation.

It also continuously monitors process throughput and performance, enabling the identification of bottlenecks and driving ongoing optimisation of workflows.

Business benefits:

Faster, more accurate AML investigations

Automated workflows cut manual handoffs. Alerts are processed faster and more accurately.

Reduced operational risk and cost

Standardised processes ensure consistency and visible priorities, cutting errors and costs.
