Transforming Screening Efficiency with AI-Driven False Positive Automation

Discover how a global bank transformed screening operations by embedding AI-driven automation directly into existing compliance workflows.

Financial institutions continue to face sustained growth in sanctions, politically exposed person (PEP) and adverse media screening volumes. Regulatory expectations remain uncompromising, yet traditional manual review models struggle to keep pace. As alert volumes rise, compliance teams face mounting pressure on deadlines, analyst capacity, and operational resilience. For many banks, screening has become a bottleneck across onboarding and periodic reviews.

This case study explores how a global bank transformed its screening operations by introducing intelligent automation directly into its existing workflows. By embedding Fenergo’s AI-powered Screening Agent, the institution moved away from repetitive, manual triage toward a more scalable, consistent, and policy-aligned operating model.

Built as part of Fenergo’s broader Intelligent Automation capabilities, the solution is supported by cloud-native infrastructure. It evaluates screening alerts using multi-factor reasoning across identity attributes, risk indicators, and policy logic. Routine false positives are resolved automatically. Alerts requiring nuance or judgment are escalated to analysts with clear rationale, full transparency, and a complete audit trail. Compliance teams remain firmly in control at every stage.

The result is a screening function that operates with greater speed, confidence, and consistency. Analysts are no longer consumed by predictable false positives and can focus on higher-risk investigations and exception handling. Onboarding and periodic reviews progress without unnecessary delay, even during periods of elevated volume.

In this case study, you’ll learn how the bank:

• Reduced manual screening effort while maintaining regulatory confidence

• Improved SLA performance across onboarding and reviews

• Introduced standardized, explainable decisioning at scale

• Strengthened operational resilience through cloud-based automation

The transformation demonstrates how intelligent screening automation can deliver immediate efficiency gains while establishing a scalable foundation for long-term compliance operations.
