A prominent global payments processor, which operates in over 200 countries and territories, has revamped its compliance and anti-financial crime systems through the deployment of SymphonyAI’s cloud-native platform. This transition has led to a tenfold enhancement in the speed of alert processing thanks to advanced agentic AI technology.
The processor, which managed more than 200 billion transactions during its 2024 fiscal year, faced challenges with a compliance infrastructure that was unable to keep up with its expansive scale.
The existing system, reliant on third-party partnerships, became increasingly difficult to maintain, with some upgrade cycles extending beyond two years. The fragmentation of tools across various regions resulted in duplicated efforts, inconsistent standards, and excessive administrative costs. Thus, the organization sought a cohesive, cloud-first solution that would ensure standardization, automation, and AI-driven risk detection, while adhering to stringent uptime requirements.
After a thorough evaluation and proof of concept (PoC) process, SymphonyAI was chosen to replace the legacy system. The platform’s active-active SaaS architecture stood out due to its 99.99% availability, a crucial factor for a processor that demands near-zero downtime.
The PoC revealed a 90% decrease in manual effort for alert adjudication, as well as automated alert routing and a reduction in false positives, which enhanced investigator productivity significantly.
SymphonyAI’s agentic AI capabilities were integral to the solution, introducing intelligent workflow orchestration and a governed human-in-the-loop system, ensuring transparency and explainability in compliance matters.
The implementation leveraged SymphonyAI’s proprietary Eureka AI platform and was seamlessly integrated with the processor’s existing data ecosystem to establish a unified source of truth for compliance operations.
The outcomes have been notable. In addition to the 90% reduction in manual alert processing effort, the organization has eliminated lengthy migration cycles in favor of rapid SaaS-based updates, consolidated its disparate legacy infrastructure, and bolstered overall operational resilience. Alert processing times have increased tenfold compared to the previous system.
