New AML system KONTOGRAPH processes payments in under 200ms

Researchers have developed KONTOGRAPH, an anti-money-laundering (AML) system designed for real-time processing of euro credit transfers within a strict 200-millisecond budget. The system utilizes a temporal graph network with per-node memory, significantly improving its performance over traditional gradient-boosted tabular methods. An empirical study on over 1.5 million simulated payments revealed that exporting the deployed tree ensemble to ONNX altered decisions and increased alert volume, highlighting the need to treat format conversions as model changes until rigorously measured. AI

IMPACT This research demonstrates advancements in real-time AI for financial compliance, potentially influencing future AML system design.

    KONTOGRAPH: Verified Point-in-Time Feature Consistency and Amortised Explanation for Real-Time Anti-Money Laundering under a 200 ms Decision Budget

    arXiv:2608.22389v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Regulation (EU) 2024/886 obliges European payment service providers to settle euro credit transfers in under ten seconds, around the clock. This removes both the overnight batch window in which anti-money-laundering (AML) analytic…
