Real-time transaction monitoring

A real-time scoring engine that watches every payment in and out, maintains per-customer behavioural baselines, and escalates anomalies with full context already attached.

How tuning works

Tuned by compliance, not engineering.

A dedicated tuning workbench lets the AML team adjust thresholds, retire ineffective rules, and propose new scenarios — all version-controlled, all approval-gated, all logged for audit. No engineering ticket, no quarterly release cycle.

Backtest every change against the last six months of production data before it goes live. False-positive reduction becomes a measurable, repeatable workflow.

The platform

LiveEx Shield - TMS (Transaction Monitoring System)

The core of the platform. A real-time rules engine that scores every inbound and outbound transaction against your configured scenarios, maintains customer-level behavioural baselines, and escalates anomalies to the case manager with full context already attached.

Scenarios ship in categories — structuring, layering, velocity, round-amount, geographic, peer-group, account-dormancy — and every rule is editable, version-controlled and documented for regulator review. A dedicated tuning workbench lets your compliance team tighten or relax thresholds without engineering involvement.

The bigger picture

Why TMS matters.

Effective transaction monitoring is the first defence against money laundering and terrorist financing. Spotting suspicious activity early prevents millions from flowing through your institution — and the reputational damage of a public failure.

Transaction monitoring also gives regulators and banking partners confidence: it demonstrates that the institution takes AML/CFT obligations seriously and is actively preventing criminal activity, which builds trust with both new and existing partners.

FATF determinants

Per the FATF, the right level of AML/CFT control depends on:

  • Volume and size of transactions
  • Distribution channels used
  • Risk levels across each area of operation
  • Use of intermediaries, third parties or non-face-to-face channels
  • Customer, product and activity profile of the institution
  • Nature, scale and complexity of the business
  • Geographic diversity of operations
Core capabilities

What LiveEx Shield - TMS covers out of the box.

01

Customer Onboarding

KYC, CDD/EDD templates with screening at point of entry.

02

Transactions

Continuous monitoring of every transaction across products and channels.

03

Screening

Sanctions, PEP and adverse-media checks integrated into the transaction flow.

04

Risk-Based Approach

Risk scoring and tiering tuned to customer, geography, product and channel.

05

Configurable Rules

MLRO-controlled rule engine — activate, deactivate and tune without engineering tickets.

06

Case Management

Quality review, investigations, escalations and SAR/STR workflows under one roof.

How detection works

Detection logic, not detection guesswork.

Deterministic rules cover the FATF-documented typologies — structuring, smurfing, velocity, round-amount, dormant-account reactivation, geographic concentration, peer-group deviation. ML-based anomaly scoring catches what the rules weren't written for.

Every alert traces back to the scenario, the threshold and the data input that produced it. When the regulator asks why did this fire, the answer is one click away.

LiveEx TMS Controls
In the operator's seat

Controls that put the MLRO in charge.

The Money Laundering Reporting Officer customises monitoring rules according to the nature of the business. TMS parameters are controlled by the MLRO and easy to explain to regulators at any time.

LiveEx Shield - TMS ships with multiple dashboards based on the rules in place, reducing manual reporting work and lowering manpower cost. Additional modules cover Quality Review, Case Management, Investigation & Escalations, automated email facilities and Customer Profile Monitoring.

  • Mobile apps to monitor transactions on the go
  • Automated escalation and email workflows
  • Quality review and four-eyes investigation
  • Customer-profile monitoring across the lifecycle

Central Bank of the UAE — September 2021

Transaction monitoring and sanctions screening.

The CBUAE guidance on AML/CFT for licensed financial institutions sets a clear blueprint for what an effective TM program must cover:

  • Risk assessment
  • Risk-based deployment of transaction monitoring controls
  • Data identification and management
  • Rule definition and pre-implementation testing
  • Alert scoring and prioritisation
  • Outcomes analysis and MIS reporting
  • Post-implementation testing, tuning and validation

An effective TM program enables financial institutions to detect, investigate and report suspicious transactions in compliance with the UAE's legal and regulatory framework — and to ensure that customers and transactions remain within the institution's risk appetite.

Effective TM depends critically on CDD/KYC information — including the type of transactions a customer would normally be expected to engage in. By developing a baseline of expected activity for each customer, the LFI can identify unusual or potentially suspicious transactions against that baseline. TM compliance personnel should escalate any data gaps or omissions in customer or beneficial-owner information for priority remediation.
