Common Questions About AI for BSA/AML Compliance

How do we start?
We start with a 2-week AI Roadmap. Our engineers spend time inside your BSA department — watching how alerts get dispositioned, where SAR narratives stall, how CDD reviews get managed. The output is a ranked list of workflows by ROI, with implementation timelines and expected savings. No commitment to build beyond the roadmap.
What does my team do differently on day 1?
Almost nothing. The first workflow runs alongside your existing process — AI processes alerts or drafts narratives in parallel while your team works normally. Once accuracy is validated (typically 2-3 weeks), we switch over. Your BSA officers investigate cases instead of writing narratives. The transition is gradual, not a big bang.
Will regulators accept AI-generated SAR narratives?
AI drafts the narrative — your BSA officer reviews, edits, and files it. The final filing is always human-approved. What changes is the time spent: 5 hours of writing becomes 30 minutes of review. We maintain full audit trails showing exactly what the AI drafted and what the officer changed. Examiners see faster, more consistent filings.
How does this handle false positives in alert monitoring?
AI learns your institution's disposition patterns over time. It identifies which alerts are likely true positives vs. false positives based on historical decisions, customer profiles, and transaction patterns. Low-risk alerts get pre-dispositioned with supporting rationale — your team reviews the AI's reasoning and approves or overrides. False positive rates typically drop 40-60%.
How do we measure success?
We define success metrics with you before building anything. Typical metrics: SAR narrative time, alert disposition time, false positive rate, CDD review backlog, and regulatory finding count. We set up dashboards that show before/after in real-time. If the numbers don't improve within 90 days, we fix it on our dime.
What's the total cost for year 1?
Two options. Per Workflow: $25K-$75K per workflow, best for starting with one high-impact process like SAR narrative drafting or alert dispositioning. Dedicated Team: ~$22K/month for 2+ AI engineers embedded in your operation, building multiple workflows continuously. Most BSA departments start with one workflow, prove the ROI, then move to a dedicated team.

Your BSA team should investigate, not write narratives.
