Coforge partnered with a leading U.S. regional bank to enhance its sanctions screening operations through a managed services model. The objective was to improve real-time alert validation, streamline fragmented processes, and scale operations to handle increasing transaction volumes across multiple payment channels.

By centralizing operations and implementing a flexible, SLA-driven delivery framework, Coforge enabled efficient, high-quality sanctions screening across OFAC, FinCEN, and FATF requirements. The transformation improved operational efficiency, reduced delays, and strengthened compliance monitoring capabilities.

The Challenge

The bank faced challenges in managing real-time validation of transactional alerts across multiple regulatory frameworks, including OFAC, FinCEN, and FATF. Fragmented skill sets and siloed alert queues created inefficiencies, impacting processing speed and accuracy.

The organization needed a scalable and efficient operating model to streamline alert handling, improve turnaround times, and ensure consistent compliance with regulatory requirements.
