Transaction monitoring is a crucial procedure and key control in anti-money laundering (AML) and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) policies and procedures of financial institutions. The transaction monitoring solution allowed financial institutions to detect and evaluate whether transactions pose suspicion when considered against customers' respective profiles. Over the years, the financial regulators have intensified their focus on monitoring AML risk activities, including a thrust for the financial institutes to adopt a suitable transaction monitoring process. Furthermore, regulators expect the firms to prove the capability and efficiency of their systems. This demand for a sophisticated transaction monitoring system is predominantly driven by the legislations, such as New York States' Department of Financial Services part 504, and the general move toward the control being evaluated by their outcome quality.

The transaction monitoring software platforms allowed the financial institutions to configure a range of monitoring scenarios, perform efficient data analysis, and filter out the genuine suspicious activities from the other false positives; thus, gaining significant traction in the market. This, in response, is accelerating the demand for AML enabled with sophisticated transaction monitoring solutions.
