Transaction Monitoring SystemsNo Universal Solution
Build vs. Buy
“People who design these systems should use them. Although I've said systems are not sophisticated, they are sometimes too much so for our own good” Switzerland respondent*
“We need more intelligence-based transaction monitoring with the capability to detect transactions not noted by human scrutiny” Russia respondent
“I would like to have a system that can track both behavioral and statistical transactions based on a transaction pattern (e.g. volume, country, business)” Hong Kong respondent
“We should focus on updating the enterprise-wide system, rather than different ones in different areas of the bank” Taiwan respondent
