FinTech Company at Risk of Federal Non-Compliance

At risk of being out of Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) compliance, our FinTech client needed to adjust how they audit and track suspicious financial activity. They were at risk for large fines and a shutdown of their market asset trading, and a serious cost to their bottom line. At the time, the company was using OneNote to monitor and track suspicious financial activities for their $300 billion+ in client assets. This resulted in multiple issues: OneNote didn’t allow them to file suspicious activity reports (SARs) within the FinCEN-required 30-day timeline, SARs needed to be tracked and stored for at least five years but OneNote had limited storage capabilities and OneNote didn’t have a dedicated tracking system to monitor ongoing cases. The company needed a partner with experience working in heavily regulated financial institutions to create a new system or risk major consequences to their bottom line.
