Non-compliance incidents caused by people, system and technology failures are on the rise, resulting in banks incurring a series of ever-increasing fines.

For compliance officers investigating alerts, gathering and analysing the evidence is like finding a needle in a haystack, because of the size of the haystack and the increasing ability of wrong-doers to better camouflage the needle.

Read BT’s Mark Harrington on how can you discard irrelevant “noise”, and focus your compliance effort and energy on the actual investigation rather than the mechanics of sifting through the evidence.

BT link up with Volante Technologies

The BT link up with Volante Technologies offers access to Volante’s full suite of tools and applications via the BT Radianz Cloud. Volante’s software complements BT Radianz Messaging, a fully managed and highly secure end-to-end financial messaging platform for the confidential and authenticated exchange of information.

Vijay Oddiraju, chief executive of Volante, said: “The combination of Volante Technologies’ software and BT Radianz Messaging services will help firms deal with the diverse, complex and ever-expanding mass of data message formats, standards and protocols generated throughout the life-cycle of every financial transaction. This helps to keep customers abreast of developments in the market and removes the burden of updating systems.”
