How it Works
1. Send Data to Unit21
Your organization sends data to Unit21 using our APIs or manual uploads. There are three main pieces of data you need to send us:
- Entities: Individuals and Businesses.
- Transactions: Monetary exchanges (amount, currency, sender info, receivers info).
- Instruments: Media of exchange (cash, card, bank wire, credit card).
2. Create Rules to find suspicious Data
Then, your agents create rules to catch fraudulent transaction using our rules engine and detection models. There are many supported cases such as:
- Man-in-the-middle
- High velocity
- Abnormal Volumes
- Layering
- Smurfing
- you can even create completely custom rules
3. Get Alerts on suspicious Data
Our rules engine catches suspicious transactions and:
- Generates meaningful alerts.
4. Investigate the suspicious Data
Upon receiving an alert, your agents can use our case management system to:
- Convert alerts into viable cases.
- Investigate the cases to catch fraud and money laundering.
5. Act on the results of the Investigation
Agents can escalate the cases into reports and:
- Automatically file FinCEN SARs or goAML STRs.
6. Monitor suspicious Parties
Agents can optionally:
- Use identification/verification data as part of their investigation.
- Use our third-party KYC/KYB capability to continuously monitor potential offenders.
