Analyzes transaction patterns using machine learning to identify unusual behaviors and potential money laundering activities without relying on rigid rule-based systems. Detects subtle deviations from normal customer behavior that traditional systems would miss.
Assigns risk scores to transactions and customers based on AI analysis, enabling compliance teams to prioritize high-risk cases for manual review. Reduces alert fatigue by filtering out low-risk activities.
Monitors transactions across multiple jurisdictions and regulatory regimes simultaneously, adapting to different AML requirements and reporting standards. Scales compliance operations without proportional cost increases.
Uses machine learning to distinguish between legitimate transactions and actual suspicious activity, dramatically reducing the number of false positive alerts that compliance teams must review. Learns from historical false positives to improve accuracy over time.
Integrates with existing AML compliance systems and workflows without requiring complete system replacement. Connects to current transaction monitoring, case management, and reporting tools.
Processes large volumes of transactions in real-time or near-real-time without performance degradation. Scales horizontally to handle growing transaction volumes as business grows.
Creates individual customer behavior profiles and establishes normal transaction baselines, enabling detection of deviations that indicate potential money laundering. Continuously updates profiles as customer behavior evolves.
Generates regulatory reports and compliance documentation required by AML authorities, with audit trails and evidence supporting flagged transactions. Ensures documentation meets regulatory standards for different jurisdictions.

Construct data transformations through a visual, step-by-step interface without writing code. Users click through operations like filtering, sorting, and reshaping data, with each step automatically generating M language code in the background.
Automatically detect and assign appropriate data types (text, number, date, boolean) to columns based on content analysis. Reduces manual type-setting and catches data quality issues early.
Stack multiple datasets vertically to combine rows from different sources. Automatically aligns columns by name and handles mismatched schemas.
Split a single column into multiple columns based on delimiters, fixed widths, or patterns. Extracts structured data from unstructured text fields.
Convert data between wide and long formats. Pivot transforms rows into columns (aggregating values), while unpivot transforms columns into rows.
Identify and remove duplicate rows based on all columns or specific key columns. Keeps first or last occurrence based on user preference.
Detect, replace, and manage null or missing values in datasets. Options include removing rows, filling with defaults, or using formulas to impute values.
Power Query scores higher at 35/100 vs Napier at 33/100.
