Transaction Monitoring

Overview

Transaction Monitoring is Fin’s real-time compliance solution that automatically screens financial transactions for fraud and ensures AML (Anti-Money Laundering) regulatory compliance. Once a transaction has been submitted, the system instantly checks it against configured rules and assigns a risk score. Based on the risk score, the system approves the transaction, holds it for RFIs (Requests for Information), or rejects it due to suspicious activity.

Benefits of Transaction Monitoring

  • Automated Compliance - Meet AML regulations without manual review of every transaction
  • Reduced Fraud - Catch suspicious patterns in real-time
  • Fast Processing - Legitimate transactions approved instantly
  • Flexible Configuration - Adapt rules as your business evolves

Travel Rule

Overview

The Travel Rule requires Fin.com to collect and exchange customer information during virtual asset transfers to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing.

Data Requirements

Regular Transactions:
  • Sender and recipient names
  • Wallet addresses or transaction reference
High-Value Transactions:
  • All of the above, plus:
    • Sender’s physical address, national ID, or date/place of birth
    • Account numbers for both parties
    • Customer identification numbers

How It Works

Travel Rule checks are integrated into Transaction Monitoring to automatically:
  1. Identify counterparties - Determine if recipient is a regulated VASP, unhosted wallet, or high-risk entity
  2. Exchange data - Automatically share required information using supported protocols
  3. Screen participants - Check against sanctions lists, PEPs, and adverse media
  4. Assign risk scores - Evaluate transaction risk based on counterparty reputation and compliance history
