The implementation is scheduled to start next month.

The vendor said that Validus is the only platform to incorporate machine learning as well as a procedural approach, with hundreds of pre-built surveillance procedures that can be personalised based on each client’s unique needs.

This lowers false-positive alerts while strengthening intelligent issue resolution.

R.J. O’Brien senior director and chief compliance officer Kathleen Clapper said: “We were in search of a truly flexible, dynamic platform so we can make adjustments swiftly as new market risks and regulations emerge relating to our global client base.
