The Challenge

Shifting requirements in AML compliance

The rise of Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) has intensified regulatory scrutiny, especially regarding Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance. Traditional AML tools struggle with fragmented workflows, manual reporting, and scalability issues, often failing to provide a unified view of fintech activities. 

TransPecos Banks determined that to properly support multiple fintech partners, it had to implement a robust but manageable compliance infrastructure. Utilizing Oscilar’s Platform will allow TransPecos to overcome common challenges of siloed data, limited visibility into partner activities, and manual processes. It now is able to scale safely, securely and with clear visibility and customer deposit records. TransPecos sought a solution enabling controlled growth while maintaining strict regulatory compliance. They needed a system to enhance their operations, support staff in managing partnerships effectively, and keep regulatory requirements at the forefront of their expansion strategy, all without dramatically increasing headcount.

"We were extremely impressed by Oscilar's capabilities from the moment we saw them," said Michael Kozub, CEO at TransPecos Banks. "Their technology presented exactly what we needed in-house to support our growth ambitions while maintaining control. What really impressed us was Oscilar's agility and adaptability. The ability to enhance and refine our processes quickly, especially in monitoring, is crucial. With Oscilar, we can update rules and implement changes faster than with any other platform we've seen. This responsiveness is invaluable, particularly when it comes to adapting to new regulations. Oscilar is a fintech company doing things the right way, giving us the tools we need to grow confidently in this rapidly changing space."

Oscilar's Impact

Oscilar's AI-Powered AML Risk Platform emerged as the ideal solution, offering:

  1. A centralized Mission Control Dashboard providing a portfolio view of all fintech workflows and KPI metrics

  2. AI-driven case management with automated SAR and UAR filing capabilities

  3. Advanced ML and GenAI-powered detection for complex risky transactions

  4. Customizable workflows for various fintech products (credit, debit, account opening, etc.)

Neha Narkhede, CEO and Co-Founder, Oscilar, said: "Our partnership with TransPecos Banks marks a pivotal moment in BaaS compliance. We recognize the unique challenges TransPecos faces as they scale their fintech partners, each with distinct risk profiles. Our collaboration enables TransPecos Banks to redefine compliance in the BaaS space. Our AI-powered AML Risk Decisioning Platform will help TransPecos centralize oversight across their diverse fintech portfolio for all products, from credit and debit to account opening. This approach will not only streamline their operations but position them to meet evolving regulatory expectations with confidence. Together, we're setting a new standard for how banks can innovate and scale in the fintech ecosystem while maintaining the highest compliance standards."

The implementation of Oscilar's platform is expected to deliver significant benefits to TransPecos, including:

  • $3M+ Annual Cost Savings
