The Challenge with
Financial Crimes
Compliance at Banks
Rapidly changing regulations have led to an increase in the cost of compliance for banks. At the same time, banks are dealing with sophisticated money laundering, terror financing and fraudulent plots, while confronting technological obsolescence. With growing concerns around the financial penalties and reputational damage that this could impose, organisations are searching for advanced solutions that provide insight, efficiency and flexibility.
BlackSwan's Approach
BlackSwan Technologies has emerged as a technological leader in the compliance space, being named as a KYC/AML category leader by Chartis Research, Risk.net Product of the Year 2021 Winner, RegTech Insight Award Winner, and Recognised Pioneer and Market Leader in Composite AI by Gartner.
BlackSwan’s complete suite of capabilities are made available via ELEMENT™ of Compliance, a software application that sits atop AI-powered, enterprise software platform and integrates with existing data infrastructure and applications to provide a comprehensive solution.
BlackSwan’s advanced platform ELEMENT of Compliance™ challenges traditional enterprise software approaches by combining all available sources of information with AI/Cognitive Computing capabilities to automatically infer insights, strengthen team decision-making abilities and enhance operational efficiencies. Built-in machine learning means that the application automatically adapts with experience and new patterns.
ELEMENT of Compliance has a highly modular architecture for flexibility, so you can choose between an end-to-end enterprise solution or a bespoke set of capabilities integrated with your existing compliance technology.
The solution provides complete CLM/KYC/AML processing for the greatest synergies in intelligence and operations. At the same time, it is based on vendor-independent infrastructure, allowing for integration and parallel operation of existing data and technology assets.

Leading-edge technology for game-changing results
Advanced AI for enhanced understanding and support
Transactional and other relevant activity data are routinely scanned and a customer’s profile is constantly enriched with open-source data to identify emerging compliance risks.
The key technological features of ELEMENT of Compliance include:
- A knowledge graph that builds, in real-time, a comprehensive representation of all relevant entities and the relationships between them. As an entity acts or new information becomes available (such as business partnership announcements or financial statements), the knowledge graph evolves to reflect the most up-to-date state of intelligence.
- State-of-the-art Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to filter through millions of data sources in seconds and append the structured information within the graph.
- ML algorithms also identify the most relevant negative news items and can assign that information to a particular compliance domain (e.g., fraud, AML, etc.).
- Multi-level semantic Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Deep Learning (DL) algorithms that break each article down to the sentence-level, resolving the nature of each entity and their respective actions.
- Operating model flexibility through a whiteboxed system that is fully configurable, ensuring vendor decoupling, self-sufficiency, lower cost of ownership and future readiness.
- Variety of data visualisation and dashboards, and a highly-configurable user interface to measurably increase operational efficiency.
Automated AI and knowledge graph-based entity resolution and relationship identification mean that as an entity acts or new information becomes available, the knowledge graph evolves to reflect the most up-to-date state of intelligence.
Extensive Intelligence Toolkit
In addition, enterprises can draw upon BlackSwan’s Intelligence Discovery toolkit to achieve a deep and rapid understanding about behaviours among entities being monitored. The toolkit includes:
- Visual Link Analysis, enabling organisations to clearly see the relationships and connections between entities.
- Geospatial Analysis, aiding a firm’s ability to investigate and analyse information with geographic elements, providing a clearer picture of any given situation.
- Temporal Analysis & Trend Charts, enabling enterprises to understand how domains change over time and to discover new trends with ease.
- Federated Search & Analysis Versioning, allowing businesses to search multiple data sources at once and retrieve information from different locations seamlessly.
