AI Investigation Agents for AML

Most AML tools flag a case. TRAMCA's agents finish it.

TRAMCA is an AI-powered AML intelligence platform for Nigerian banks, fintechs, mobile money operators and other financial institutions. Autonomous AI agents run complete investigations end-to-end — KYC, KYB, Transaction Monitoring, and CDD/EDD — and hand a human reviewer a finished, evidence-backed decision instead of a pile of alerts.

What Makes TRAMCA Different

Investigation, not just detection

Most AML software is built to flag. It spots a suspicious pattern, opens a ticket, and leaves an analyst to manually pull records from a dozen systems before they can decide anything. TRAMCA's AI agents are built to investigate — running the entire process autonomously and leaving a human reviewer with a complete, cited case file instead of a blinking alert.

Traditional AML tools
Flag a transaction or customer and stop there
Analyst manually checks each data source one by one
Investigation notes scattered across spreadsheets and tickets
Hours per case, even for routine reviews
Audit trail reconstructed after the fact, if at all
TRAMCA AI agents
Run the full investigation autonomously, start to finish
Pull and cross-reference every connected data source automatically
One structured, cited evidence pack per case
A human reviewer approves, queries, or overrides — agents don't file anything alone
Every step timestamped and sourced as the investigation happens

See an example investigation run in the hero above. Actual resolution time depends on case complexity and is published once benchmarked against real case volumes.

Five Solutions, One Platform

Built around how Nigerian institutions verify identity and risk

Four modules cover end-to-end AML compliance for banks and financial institutions. The fifth — Identity Verification — is a standalone API any business can connect to directly. All five connect to the Nigerian infrastructure compliance teams already work with: BVN/NIBSS, NIN/NIMC, CAC, FIRS, SCUML, and NFIU's goAML.

01 / KYC
Know Your Customer

Identity verification and risk scoring at onboarding and on an ongoing basis.

BVN and NIN verification
ID document checks and liveness detection
Ongoing, dynamic risk scoring
Address and device verification
Ask about KYC →
02 / KYB
Know Your Business

Corporate verification and beneficial-ownership tracing for business customers.

CAC registration and FIRS TIN checks
SCUML registration status
Director and ultimate-beneficial-owner screening
Court record and litigation checks
Ask about KYB →
03 / TM
Transaction Monitoring

Continuous monitoring for suspicious patterns across accounts and channels.

Rule-based and behavioral pattern detection
Structuring and layering detection
Alert triage with explainable reasoning
Configurable thresholds by risk segment

04 / CDD-EDD
Customer & Enhanced Due Diligence

Deeper investigation for higher-risk customers, PEPs, and flagged relationships.

Sanctions and PEP screening
Adverse media review
Source-of-funds and source-of-wealth checks
SAR-ready evidence packs for NFIU filing via goAML

05 / IDV
Identity Verification API

A standalone identity-verification API — not just for banks. Any business that needs to know who it's dealing with can connect directly.

BVN and NIN verification, on demand via API
Document and liveness checks for any individual in Nigeria
Built for ride-share, real estate, marketplaces, HR/hiring
Pay-as-you-go or volume pricing, independent of the AML platform

One Platform, Every Touchpoint

Every verification path runs through one network

Identity, business, and risk signals all feed into the same investigation core — so an agent can cross-reference all of it in one pass instead of checking ten separate tools.

CBN Compliance

Built to help you meet CBN's automated AML mandate

On 10 March 2026, the Central Bank of Nigeria issued Circular BSD/DIR/PUB/LAB/019/002, setting Baseline Standards for Automated AML/CFT/CPF Solutions. It moves every regulated institution from largely manual compliance toward continuous, automated monitoring, across six capability areas:

01
Real-time risk assessment
Customer and transaction risk scored continuously, not just at onboarding.
02
Transaction monitoring
Automated detection of suspicious patterns across accounts and channels.
03
Sanctions screening
Customers and counterparties screened against applicable watchlists on an ongoing basis.
04
Fraud detection
Systems capable of identifying fraud indicators alongside laundering typologies.
05
Case management
A structured workflow for investigating and resolving alerts, with a defensible audit trail.
06
Data protection
Customer and case data handled in line with applicable data-protection law.
