How AI Agents Reduce Risks in AML and Sanctions Compliance Programs

Addressing anti-money laundering (AML) and sanctions compliance risks is a critical task for financial institutions (FIs). As bad actors gain in sophistication, FIs must respond in kind.

FinCEN and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) recognize this reality and are advocating for FIs to apply innovative technological approaches to reduce risk in their compliance operations. In fact, Artificial intelligence (AI) is core to innovation in AML and sanctions compliance.

AI Agents are already making decisions and performing specific job roles to de-risk operations at a wide range of banks, challenger banks, payments companies, and more.

This paper explains how AI Agents are de-risking compliance operations.
