why fiu 360
The AML/CFT requirements established by international standards, such as the FATF recommendations and the United Nations Conventions, place significant demands on Financial Intelligence Units (FIU). FIUs are responsible for gathering financial disclosures from accountable institutions under the AML/CFT Act, enriching the collected data by obtaining intelligence from non-financial sources, analyzing the information, and creating an intelligence package to guide investigations into potential offenses that generate illicit proceeds of crime. To automate the above processes, we have created an end-to-end solution that integrates all the modules and features needed by any FIU irrespective of its type. A solution that meets your needs today and grows with you into the future. We offer you FIU360.

The FIU360 data collection module employs cutting-edge technology and sets a new standard for world-class quality and innovation in financial intelligence. Designed to provide unmatched flexibility, the module’s XML schema supports over 300 customizable parameters, allowing the FIU to define exactly what data is required for each type of transaction report. This adaptability ensures that every report—whether it’s a CTR (Currency Transaction Report), STR (Suspicious Transaction Report), EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer), or AIF (full account statement)—follows a consistent structure, enabling analysts to review all reports seamlessly, regardless of the type.
Starting with the intake of Incoming Data, FIU360 initiates a comprehensive Sanction List Screening process to identify potential matches against high-risk entities. Through Selective Matching, the system refines the data to isolate suspicious items while minimizing false positives. Identified matches trigger Alert Creation, notifying teams for further investigation. Each alert undergoes Case Confirmation, verifying or dismissing cases based on established criteria. Repeated false positives are managed through Whitelisting, streamlining the process by preventing unnecessary alerts in the future. Finally, Confirmed Cases are escalated for further action, ensuring regulatory compliance and enhancing operational efficiency.
