A finance transaction is any applicant's attempt to send or receive money via your service. Finance transaction checks are intended to answer the following questions:

Where is money coming from?
Is that a legitimate originator or source?
Where is the money going?
Is that a legit beneficiary?
Are there suspicious patterns in the overall transaction process?
