Traditional compliance is slow, expensive, and reactive. We transform your AML/CFT framework into an intelligent, proactive, and efficient operation that builds trust and accelerates growth.

Explainable AI (XAI)

Our models aren't black boxes. We provide clear, auditable decision trails for every alert and risk score, ensuring you can confidently justify your actions to auditors and regulators.

Regulatory Intelligence

Our systems are continuously updated with the latest global regulations (FATF, FinCEN, etc.) and emerging threat typologies, keeping you ahead of the compliance curve automatically.

Proven ROI

Slash operational costs by reducing manual reviews and dramatically cutting false positives. The cost of our solution is a fraction of a single non-compliance fine.

Expert-in-the-Loop

We combine powerful AI with human expertise. Our certified AML specialists and data scientists work as an extension of your team, fine-tuning models and providing strategic guidance.

Scaling Compliance for a Top-Tier Crypto Exchange

Industry: Cryptocurrency Exchange

Client Overview: A rapidly growing cryptocurrency exchange with over 5 million users, facing immense pressure from regulators to enhance their AML/CFT framework amidst surging transaction volumes.

"Errna's AI solution was a game-changer. We not only satisfied our regulators but also made our compliance team more effective. The reduction in false positives alone saved us thousands of hours."

- Michael Brooks, Chief Compliance Officer, CoinSecure Exchange

The Problem

The exchange's legacy, rules-based transaction monitoring system was generating an unmanageable number of false positive alerts. Their compliance team was overwhelmed, leading to significant backlogs, increased operational costs, and the risk of missing genuine suspicious activity.

Key Challenges

  • Over 95% of alerts were false positives, wasting analyst time.
  • Inability to detect sophisticated laundering patterns like chain-hopping.
  • Struggling to scale compliance operations to match user growth.
  • Facing an impending regulatory audit with potential for severe penalties.

Our Solution

We deployed our AI-powered transaction monitoring and dynamic risk scoring engine, integrating it seamlessly with their existing platform. The solution included:

  • Machine learning models trained to understand the exchange's specific user behavior.
  • Advanced blockchain analytics to trace the source and destination of funds.

Enabling Secure Crypto Services for a FinTech Innovator

Industry: FinTech / Neobank

Client Overview: A leading FinTech company planning to launch crypto trading and custody services for its user base. They needed a robust, regulator-ready compliance framework from day one to ensure a successful and secure product launch.

"Entering the crypto space was a major strategic move, and we couldn't afford any compliance missteps. Errna provided the expertise and technology to build a fortress. We launched on time and with full confidence in our AML controls."

- Sophia Dalton, Founder & CEO, FinovaPay

The Problem

As a regulated financial institution, the client had zero tolerance for compliance failures. They lacked in-house crypto compliance expertise and needed a comprehensive solution that could be implemented quickly without compromising on rigor, covering everything from onboarding to transaction monitoring.

Key Challenges

  • Building a complete crypto AML program from scratch under a tight deadline.
  • Integrating crypto-specific risk factors into their existing compliance framework.
  • Ensuring compliance with the FATF Travel Rule for VASP-to-VASP transfers.
  • Educating their existing compliance team on the nuances of blockchain analytics.

Our Solution

Bringing Trust and Transparency to a DeFi Protocol

Industry: Decentralized Finance (DeFi)

Client Overview: An innovative DeFi lending protocol seeking to attract institutional capital. To do so, they needed to demonstrate a credible and effective approach to managing AML and sanctions risks within their decentralized ecosystem.

"Institutional players demand a level of compliance that most DeFi protocols can't offer. Errna's AI gave us the tools to monitor risks at the smart contract level, which was crucial for securing our first major institutional partnership."

- Alex Royce, Core Contributor, Nexus Protocol

The Problem

The anonymous and automated nature of DeFi made it challenging to implement traditional AML controls. The protocol needed a way to identify and flag high-risk funds interacting with their liquidity pools without compromising the core principles of decentralization.

Key Challenges

  • Monitoring transactions with sanctioned or illicit funds entering the protocol.
  • Lack of visibility into the source of funds deposited by users.
  • Balancing compliance needs with user privacy expectations.
  • Demonstrating a robust risk management framework to potential institutional partners.

Our Solution

We developed a custom AI-driven monitoring solution tailored for the DeFi environment. The solution focused on:

  • Real-time monitoring of all wallet addresses interacting with the protocol's smart contracts.
  • AI-powered tracing of funds to identify exposure to mixers and sanctioned entities.
  • A risk-scoring system for liquidity providers based on their on-chain history.
  • Providing anonymized, aggregated risk reports to demonstrate compliance posture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, straightforward answers to common questions about implementing AI for crypto compliance.

Traditional systems rely on rigid, static rules (e.g., "flag all transactions over $10,000"), which lack context. Our AI uses machine learning to understand the normal behavior of each user. It looks at the entire context—transaction history, counterparty risk, on-chain data, and behavioral patterns—to make a more intelligent decision. This allows it to ignore legitimate activities that might trigger a simple rule, drastically reducing false positives and letting your team focus on genuine risks.

Absolutely not. We are firm believers in Explainable AI (XAI). For every risk score or alert, our system provides a clear breakdown of the contributing factors. For example, it will state, "This transaction was flagged due to: 1) High-risk counterparty VASP, 2) Funds originating from a known mixer, and 3) A significant deviation from the user's typical transaction size." This provides a transparent, auditable trail that fully supports regulatory scrutiny.

The timeline varies depending on the complexity of your environment, but our API-first approach is designed for speed. A standard implementation for our SaaS solution can be completed in as little as 4-6 weeks. This includes discovery, configuration, integration, and training. We work with you to establish a clear project plan with defined milestones from the outset.

We have a dedicated team of regulatory experts and legal analysts who constantly monitor global developments from bodies like the FATF, FinCEN, and other national regulators. This intelligence is fed directly into our platform. When a new regulation or sanction is announced, we update our rule sets, watchlists, and even retrain our AI models to reflect the new requirements, ensuring you remain compliant automatically.

Our system is most effective when it has a holistic view. This typically includes: 1) Customer data from your onboarding/KYC system, 2) Transactional data (both fiat and crypto), and 3) Public blockchain data, which we source and analyze. We work with you to establish secure, real-time data feeds via our APIs. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and we adhere to the highest standards of data privacy and security (SOC 2, ISO 27001).

Yes. We have developed specialized AI models designed for the unique challenges of DeFi and NFTs. Our system can monitor interactions with smart contracts, trace funds through liquidity pools and DEXs, and analyze NFT transactions for signs of wash trading or illicit financing. We are at the forefront of developing compliance solutions for the next generation of digital assets.
