Automated Risk Assessment & Scoring
Build a dynamic, risk-based approach to fraud prevention and compliance. Accurately score customer risk in real-time, reduce false positives, and apply onboarding friction only when it matters.
How it works
Set the logic. Risk-profile the customer and transactions. Trigger the next steps.
Step 1
Collect contextual data
Pull in the information used to assess the customer profile and transaction details.
Step 2
Apply risk rules
Assign points based on the factors that match the customer / transaction.
Step 3
Calculate total risk
Combine static, dynamic, and manual factors into one score.
Step 4
Assign a risk level
Place the customer into the relevant tier based on your thresholds.
Step 5
Trigger action
Route the case into approval, review, EDD, or monitoring
Risk Assessment Model
The factors behind each customer risk score
Velocity
Flags customers whose transaction activity spikes too quickly within a short time window, such as multiple deposits or outbound transactions in an hour.
Structuring
Detects patterns where larger sums may be intentionally split into smaller transactions over a short period of time to avoid thresholds, reporting requirements, or additional review.
Behavioral
Covers activity that does not fit a customer’s normal pattern, such as dormant account reactivation, sudden volume changes, and similar anomalies.
KYC/AML
Focuses on risks connected to sanctions, PEPs, criminal lists, adverse media, high-risk industries, and other customer or beneficiary AML concerns.
Technical
Captures suspicious technical signals such as proxy or Tor usage, impossible travel, attacker-linked IPs, and unusual login or access patterns.
Transfer
Monitors how funds move between senders and beneficiaries, including repeated transfers, frequent third-party funding, and high outbound volumes.
Profile
Flags transactions that appear inconsistent with the customer’s usual financial profile, balance behavior, supported currencies, or assigned risk factors.
Fraud
Looks for behavior often associated with fraud, such as device changes, bot or emulator use, dormant-account abuse, and suspicious device-switching before transfers.
Country exposure
Flags transactions connected to unexpected, high-risk, or sanctioned jurisdictions that may require closer review or stronger compliance controls.
Device
Detects risky device behavior, including one device being used by multiple customers or a single customer using multiple devices in a short period.
Regulatory
Covers mandatory compliance triggers such as Travel Rule data gaps, high cumulative risk, overdue AML re-screening, and mandatory reporting thresholds.
Industry risk
Evaluates the customer’s business sector to help determine whether it falls within low-risk, high-risk, or prohibited industry categories over time.
Outcome
Use risk scores to shape the customer journey
Apply review effort where it matters and keep lower-risk cases moving.
Common Use Cases
Where Risk Assessment creates the most value
Use automated risk scoring to route customers, trigger reviews, and support more proportionate compliance across industries.
Customer onboarding
Score users during onboarding to decide whether they can proceed through standard review, require enhanced due diligence, or need manual investigation.
Business onboarding
Assess legal entities using country, industry, structure, ownership, and PEP-related indicators before approval. This fits especially well with your KYB positioning.
Crypto and VASP compliance
Apply stronger scrutiny to customers, jurisdictions, and behaviors that carry elevated regulatory or fraud exposure. This aligns well with how risk scoring is commonly positioned for crypto compliance.
Ongoing AML Monitoring
Re-score customers when new transaction or behavioral anomalies appear and support continuous risk evaluation.
EDD triggering
Automatically identify high-risk profiles and escalate them into enhanced due diligence or human review.
