Financial crime is everywhere.

Financial institutions have the responsibility to fight growing financial crimes like fraud, money laundering and the financing of terrorism. Between $800 billion and $2 trillion in illicit transactions move through the global financial system every year, but authorities intercept less than 1% of those amounts.

Limits to data sharing make it hard to fight.

Burdened by the limits below,  financial institutions are unable to share risks and insights in real time. As a result, sophisticated actors abuse this system, leaping from institution to institution and hiding their tracks.  

  • Security
  • Privacy
  • Sovereignty
  • Regulations
  • Prohibitive Costs
  • Data replication infrastructure is scarce
  • Data transfer is expensive

A more efficient, more effective way.

Consilient reinvents AML/CFT through a behavioral-based, machine learning-driven utility and governance model that enables financial institutions to more effectively share information about risks and illicit actors in real-time, while adhering to privacy protections and data localization restrictions. 

Consilient uses federated learning, which allows financial institutions to access and interrogate data sets in different institutions, databases, and even jurisdictions, all without ever moving the data.
