Discai joins the Transform Finance podcast
Most AML monitoring systems still rely heavily on predefined scenarios and rules. They remain an essential part of financial crime prevention, but they also face growing pressure from increasingly adaptive criminal behaviour.
In the latest episode of the Transform Finance podcast, Fabrice Deprez, CEO of Discai, joins Jane Noordhuis, co-founder of Transform Finance, to discuss how financial institutions can strengthen detection capabilities without sacrificing transparency, explainability or control.
The conversation explores several challenges facing AML teams today.
Traditional scenario-based monitoring often generates large volumes of alerts and can be vulnerable to criminals who learn how controls operate. At the same time, financial institutions must remain able to understand, validate and govern every technology they deploy.
During the discussion, Fabrice explains why machine learning should not be viewed as a replacement for existing AML controls, but as a complementary capability that helps institutions identify behavioural patterns, prioritise unusual activity and use investigative resources more effectively.
The podcast also looks at practical adoption. Better detection alone is not sufficient. Financial institutions need solutions that fit within governance frameworks, support regulatory expectations and provide confidence in how decisions are produced.
