AI-Powered AML Compliance and Fraud Detection with CSI’s TruDetect and TruProtect Solutions

Financial institutions are under increasing pressure to manage the ever-growing risks of fraud and ensure compliance with ever-tightening regulatory standards. In recent years, the rise in digital transactions and the sophistication of financial crime have made the job of AML compliance professionals and fraud detection teams more challenging. At the same time, the costs associated with fraud have skyrocketed, with consumer losses reaching over $12.5 billion in 2024 alone. In this rapidly evolving landscape, CSI has introduced two cutting-edge solutions to help financial institutions fight back: TruDetect and TruProtect. These AI-powered solutions are specifically designed to provide financial institutions with the clarity, transparency, and control needed to optimize their compliance processes and detect fraud in real time.

By leveraging artificial intelligence and data-driven insights, these solutions offer not only a streamlined approach to compliance but also the agility required to stay ahead of emerging threats. As more institutions adopt AI in their efforts to detect fraud and comply with AML regulations, TruDetect and TruProtect stand as leading examples of how advanced technologies can revolutionize the industry.

One of the major pain points for financial institutions is the overwhelming volume of false positives generated by traditional AML systems. As reported by Celent, over 95% of AML alerts are often false positives, leading to wasted resources, inefficient investigations, and significant delays in responding to genuine risks. Additionally, AML analysts can spend anywhere between 30 to 70 minutes investigating each alert, as noted by Nasdaq. These inefficiencies not only waste time but also impede the ability of compliance teams to focus on truly suspicious activity.

TruDetect addresses these challenges head-on by utilizing artificial intelligence to reduce the number of false positives and optimize the compliance workflow. The solution’s AI-powered risk confidence scoring empowers analysts to quickly evaluate the accuracy of alerts and make more informed decisions in real time. This is a game-changer for financial institutions, as it allows them to stay focused on high-risk activities and minimize the time spent on irrelevant alerts.

Key features of TruDetect include:

Customizable Templates: TruDetect automatically generates tailored suspicious activity reports (SAR) and currency transaction reports (CTR), ensuring that compliance teams can generate these reports quickly and accurately.
Customer Behavior Dashboards: These dashboards streamline transaction activity into a single view, enabling compliance teams to track and analyze customer behavior more efficiently.
Tailored Workflows and Alerts: TruDetect allows institutions to define user roles, workflows, and alerts that match their specific needs, ensuring that each organization can align the system with its unique requirements.
Real-Time Insights: TruDetect leverages AI to provide real-time risk assessment, giving compliance teams immediate insights into potential risks.

As Steve Sanders, Chief Risk and Information Security Officer at CSI, explains, “Unlike one-size-fits-all systems, TruDetect is built for every institution’s unique compliance needs. It integrates seamlessly into any bank’s compliance team, providing AML protection with no disruptions to customer experience.”

TruDetect’s ability to deliver value is already being seen in institutions like Williamstown Bank, where President and CEO Sharon Anderson notes, “The sophistication and volume of fraud attempts in our industry have reached unprecedented levels. What excites me about TruDetect is its ability to grow in tandem with our demands and pool data for high-risk customers or other flagged items into one dashboard, making it easier to spot patterns and file SARs when needed.”

TruProtect: Cutting-Edge Fraud Detection in Real Time

With fraud becoming more prevalent and complex, TruProtect takes on the challenge of providing financial institutions with a robust solution for real-time fraud detection. Fraudsters are constantly evolving their tactics, using increasingly sophisticated methods to bypass traditional security measures. As digital banking becomes more widespread, institutions need smarter, faster, and more reliable tools to protect against fraud.

TruProtect is powered by artificial intelligence and designed to monitor and detect suspicious activities across a wide range of transactions, including peer-to-peer (P2P) payments, ACH, wire transfers, and card activity. In addition to transaction monitoring, TruProtect also tracks and alerts on account takeovers, a growing concern in the age of digital banking.

Key features of TruProtect include:

Real-Time Monitoring: The solution continuously monitors and analyzes transactions in real time, immediately flagging any suspicious activity, allowing financial institutions to act swiftly.
Custom Alerts: Institutions can configure TruProtect to create alerts based on their specific fraud detection needs, whether they involve unusual transaction volumes, specific types of fraud, or high-risk accounts.
Seamless Integration: TruProtect can be integrated into existing banking systems with minimal disruption, making it easy for financial institutions to deploy without the need for complex configurations or extensive training.

According to CSI’s 2025 Banking Priorities Executive Report, 91% of financial institutions expressed interest in leveraging AI for fraud and AML detection and prevention. With TruProtect, CSI is making it easier for smaller community banks and credit unions to access AI-powered fraud protection without requiring massive security teams or specialized technical expertise.

“Financial institutions need smarter, faster fraud detection tools that work around the clock,” explains Steve Sanders. “With TruProtect, we’re putting AI-powered prevention measures within reach for community banks, helping them stay one step ahead of bad actors.”

As fraud continues to evolve, the need for agile, AI-powered solutions like TruProtect has never been more critical. By enabling financial institutions to detect fraudulent activity in real time, TruProtect helps ensure that institutions are able to safeguard their customers and assets effectively.
