AML Transaction Monitoring Platform

System ID SD03
Repo bank-aml
Business domain BD07
Tech owner Financial Crime Engineering
Build status Not started

Continuous monitoring of all transactions for AML typologies, unusual patterns, and reportable activity. Produces alerts, manages cases, and submits regulatory reports automatically.

Modules

MOD-017 ML behavioural scoring model Not started
MOD-018 Alert case management system Not started
MOD-019 Regulatory report submission Not started

Architecture

All monitoring runs as Kafka consumers against bank.transactions. Rule engine (MOD-016) and ML scorer (MOD-017) both subscribe to the same event stream independently. Results written to Postgres for case management (MOD-018). See ADR-003 and ADR-010.

Risk score mirror table

MOD-039 (customer risk score model, SD06) publishes bank.risk-platform/customer_risk_score_updated events whenever a customer's risk tier changes. bank-aml maintains a local mirror table populated by MOD-016/017 from this event stream:

bank_aml.aml.risk_scores_mirror

Column Type Notes
party_id UUID PK; cross-domain ref to SD02 party.parties.party_id — no FK constraint (cross-database; application-enforced)
composite_risk_score FLOAT NOT NULL 0–100
risk_tier VARCHAR NOT NULL LOW | MEDIUM | HIGH | CRITICAL
score_version VARCHAR NOT NULL Model version from MOD-039
scored_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL Timestamp from the event
mirror_updated_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now() When the mirror row was written

Idempotency key: (party_id, scored_at). MOD-016/017 upserts on receipt. The mirror is read-only from AML's perspective — SD06 owns the source of truth. AML typology rules (MOD-016) and ML scoring (MOD-017) read from this mirror rather than making cross-bus Snowflake calls inline.
