Transaction Monitoring
Transaction monitoring is the continuous, rule- and risk-based screening of transactions to identify activity that is unusual, suspicious, or inconsistent with a customer's expected behaviour.
Rather than a one-time check, transaction monitoring evaluates flows over time against thresholds, typologies, and peer behaviour, escalating anomalies for review. In crypto it must account for on-chain provenance, not just amounts and frequency. KYT transaction screening on our platform inspects each transfer as it happens, combining the counterparty address risk-score, sanctions screening, and an exposure breakdown that attributes funds to categories like mixer or exchange. Multi-hop fund-flow tracing supplies the deeper context when a transfer warrants investigation, so monitoring decisions rest on where value actually came from and where it is going.
