Corridor
Alert triage and STR drafting for exchange houses — scoring and grouping transaction-monitor alerts, then drafting goAML narratives for UAE filing.
The Problem
Exchange houses process hundreds of millions of small remittances on the India, Pakistan, and Philippines corridors — exactly the profile regulators scrutinize. Every transaction monitor fires thousands of alerts a day, and each one takes an analyst 5-10 minutes to open, read, and decide.
Most alerts are false positives, but every escalated one must become a defensible STR. In the UAE the clock is hard: 20 calendar days from alert to MLRO recommendation, filed through the goAML portal with no minimum threshold. Missed or late STRs are how exchange houses take CBUAE fines — AED 300M+ across six houses in 2025 — and how directors end up personally liable.
The Outcome
Alert triage drops from 5-10 minutes to seconds per alert. Alerts arrive risk-scored, grouped into cases, and pre-loaded with KYC, transaction history, counterparties, and a one-paragraph rationale — cutting false-positive review time 60-80%.
Escalated cases produce goAML-formatted STR drafts in minutes, with indicator codes, evidence packages, and the case narrative already assembled. The compliance officer verifies and signs — the human stays accountable, the blank-page grind disappears.
The 20-day deadline becomes deadline-safe. Your MLRO signs instead of writing, your queue clears instead of drowning, and your regulator examinations find complete, audit-ready case files.
The Mechanism
Corridor connects to your transaction monitor and scores every alert in seconds — then groups related alerts by customer, corridor, and counterparty so the analyst reviews one file instead of ten.
The triage layer pre-assembles the evidence pack — KYC file, transaction history, counterparties, and watchlist hits — and writes the one-paragraph review rationale with the indicators matched. The analyst closes benign cases or escalates in seconds, and every decision lands in an immutable audit trail.
Escalated cases flow to the STR drafter, which generates the goAML-formatted narrative — who, what transactions, why suspicious, indicators matched — with the 20-day clock tracked and at-risk cases flagged before the deadline can slip.
