Intelligent Anti-Money Laundering with SafeWatch AML

One of Eastnets’ flagship offerings, SafeWatch AML, exemplifies the company’s forward-thinking approach. Traditional systems often struggle to detect complex money laundering schemes, relying on rigid rules that fail to identify sophisticated criminal patterns. SafeWatch AML addresses these limitations by combining real-time and historical transaction monitoring with AI-driven behavioral analytics. The result is a system capable of detecting anomalies, highlighting hidden risks, and reducing false positives, enabling compliance teams to act swiftly and effectively.

The platform is built with modular architecture, allowing institutions to select only the components they need. From initial screening and risk rating to ongoing monitoring, re-KYC, suspicious transaction reporting, and regulatory compliance, SafeWatch AML offers flexibility without compromise. Institutions can scale their compliance operations according to their growth, regulatory changes, or evolving risk landscape, making the platform as adaptable as it is powerful.

By integrating dual-mode monitoring, AI account risk alerts, customizable rule-building, network analytics, and automated goAML reporting, SafeWatch AML provides a comprehensive solution that strengthens detection, accelerates investigations, and ensures adherence to global regulatory standards. Institutions benefit from streamlined workflows, improved efficiency, and greater confidence that financial crime threats are identified and mitigated before they escalate.

Beyond Detection: Building Trust and Efficiency

Eastnets understands that effective AML is more than identifying suspicious transactions. It is about safeguarding institutional reputation, ensuring operational efficiency, and reducing the cost and complexity of compliance. SafeWatch AML’s AI-driven risk scoring and unsupervised models constantly learn from transaction behaviors, improving the accuracy of alerts and allowing teams to focus on what truly matters. By surfacing the most significant risks, the platform reduces workload, enhances speed of investigation, and supports better decision-making across the institution.

The company’s suite extends beyond AML monitoring. SafeWatch KYC simplifies customer onboarding, automates due diligence, and continuously monitors customer risk, ensuring financial institutions maintain confidence in client identity while reducing operational bottlenecks. SafeWatch Screening uses proprietary engines to cross-check transactions and customer data against global and local sanctions lists, further minimizing false positives and ensuring comprehensive compliance coverage.

Eastnets also supports institutions in adapting to technological and regulatory shifts, such as the adoption of ISO 20022 standards. By guiding teams through migration strategies and operational alignment, the company ensures that institutions not only comply with current regulations but are positioned to take advantage of emerging industry opportunities.

Fighting Financial Crime at Scale

The scale of financial crime worldwide underscores the importance of solutions like Eastnets SafeWatch AML.

By delivering real-time monitoring, behavioral analytics, and AI-enhanced insights, Eastnets enables institutions to reduce operational costs, safeguard their reputation, and improve overall performance.
