ML-native AML compliance

Modern financial
crime can't be found
with 1990s rules.

Vigilic is the ML-native AML platform for financial institutions. Behavioral models across 14 risk categories — generating high-confidence investigation cases, not floods of false-positive alerts.

01  /  The problem

Community financial institutions are running last-generation compliance systems into a next-generation threat landscape.

4.7M
SARs filed in FY24
FinCEN processed 4.7 million Suspicious Activity Reports in fiscal year 2024 — roughly 12,870 per day, the majority never actioned.
+34.5%
Enforcement actions · 2024
Banking regulator enforcement actions rose 34.5% year-over-year. OCC actions alone nearly doubled, from 56 to 107.
90+%
False-positive rate
Rule-based transaction monitoring systems produce false-positive rates exceeding 90% — flooding understaffed teams with noise.
<$50B
The underserved middle
Community financial institutions in this asset range can't afford enterprise AML suites and aren't targeted by fintech platforms built for crypto-native banks.
02  /  The platform

Behavioral models across 14 risk categories. One machine-learned judgment per transaction.

Vigilic's engine doesn't run static rules. It models each institution's customer base, transaction patterns, counterparty relationships, and risk geography — then scores every incoming transaction across hundreds of simultaneous behavioral signals.

What reaches your BSA team is not an alert. It's a case: a ranked, explainable, regulator-ready package of evidence — with supporting network graphs, counterparty context, and typology attribution built in.

03  /  Who we serve

Built for the institutions that keep local economies running — and carry disproportionate compliance burden for their size.

For community banks

Enterprise-grade detection. Community-bank economics.

If you're a community or regional bank less than $50B in assets, you need the detection capability of the largest institutions without their headcount, budget, or implementation timeline.

  • Drop-in replacement for legacy rule engines
  • 80% reduction in investigation workload (target)
  • Explainable, audit-ready case output
  • Deployment in weeks, not quarters

For credit unions

Member-centric monitoring. Not alert-centric.

Credit unions serve members, not just accounts. Vigilic's per-customer behavioral baselining respects that distinction — flagging anomalies against a member's own history, not arbitrary thresholds.

  • Per-member behavioral baselines
  • Cross-channel transaction reconciliation
  • Right-sized for NCUA examination cycles
  • Privacy-preserving cross-institution signal sharing (Phase 2)

04  /  Why Vigilic

Three things no legacy vendor and no enterprise fintech can offer this segment.

I.

ML-native from the ground up

We don't bolt machine learning on top of rule outputs. Vigilic is an ML-first architecture: behavioral features feeding category-specific models, ensembled into a unified case-generation pipeline with explainability at every layer.

275 features · 14 categories
II.

Cross-institution collaboration, secure

Phase 2 unlocks what every single-institution system misses: coordinated laundering networks that deliberately spread activity across banks. Our cryptographic protocol lets institutions collectively detect these networks without exposing customer PII.

No competitor offers this at this tier
III.

Cradle-to-grave network analysis

Disconnected money laundering networks become connected stories. Our network graphs show regulators and examiners the full end-to-end view of the crime — all parties, counterparties, and fund flows from origin through layering to integration. Stronger SARs. More effective law enforcement referrals.
