About rules

Flag suspicious transactions with rules for every Transaction Monitoring application.

Rules are basically sets of instructions and conditions to be considered during monitoring. Every time a transaction is being made, the enabled rules are automatically applied to determine whether the transaction matches the rule parameters.

The solution already comes up with the pre-configured rules explained below.

You can also create custom rules to cover business scenarios that are specific for your organization.
