SEON Unveils Advanced Compliance Tools for Cross-Border AML
SEON has launched a suite of new features on its fraud prevention and anti-money laundering (AML) platform, designed to help businesses navigate the increasingly complex web of international regulatory requirements. The enhancements focus on improving compliance management, investigative analytics, and rule configuration, equipping compliance teams to handle cross-jurisdictional cases more effectively.
Background and Context
Financial services and digital businesses operating across borders face mounting regulatory pressures as AML laws evolve differently from one market to another. SEON’s latest expansion allows compliance professionals to configure country- or region-specific screening approaches and investigative processes within a single environment, eliminating the need for additional development work.
Key Features and Enhancements
The updated platform introduces AML Search Profiles, enabling users to build and adjust customer screening configurations by jurisdiction. Compliance teams can select relevant data sources, modify identity matching sensitivity based on watchlist types, and set regional standards for customer segments. These adjustments can be made quickly, supporting businesses as they enter or adapt to new regulatory environments.
Another key addition is Rule Categories, which allow users to label and filter fraud and compliance rules by jurisdiction, regulatory framework, or case type. This feature helps apply different standards and controls in line with local legislation, reducing the risk of over-screening valid users or missing genuine threats.
Investigative Analytics
SEON’s investigative framework now leverages graph theory and network science to map relationships between accounts using shared device IDs, behavioural data, and other signals. This approach helps compliance professionals identify potential connections beyond traditional transactional monitoring.
The platform processes over 900 real-time, first-party fraud signals, providing investigators with deeper insights into account connections. The analysis extends to identifying both legitimate relationships and signs of coordinated fraudulent activity.
The Movement of Funds feature further enhances analytical capabilities by mapping transaction flows across accounts. This allows investigators to visualise patterns consistent with money laundering, such as layering schemes and coordinated transfers, moving beyond the typical review of single transactions in isolation.
Integrated Workflow
The platform now includes tools to streamline investigation processes, such as Alert Dashboards for monitoring alert volumes and trends, and Payment Screening for bank identifiers, SWIFT codes, and cryptocurrency wallet addresses. The Unified Workflow brings together screening, investigation, and case management, reducing delays and errors caused by switching between systems.
“Compliance teams are juggling more jurisdictions and tighter rules with systems that simply can’t keep up. Too often, data sits in silos; when one tool flags a high-risk signal, the others stay blind to it. Legacy platforms make it worse by locking down core settings, so teams can’t fine-tune matching or adapt screening by market. The result is blunt, one-size-fits-all compliance that either over-screens everyone or misses real threats. We’re giving teams the freedom to configure risk on their own terms,” said Tamas Kadar, Co-founder and CEO of SEON.
