Press ReleasesFinScan and TONBELLER Join Forces to Combat London, United Kingdom – July 10, 2008 – FinScan™, a leading provider of Sanctions list and PEP compliance solutions for the financial services industry, and TONBELLER, one of the world’s leading suppliers of anti-money laundering compliance solutions, today announced the development of a joint methodology that will enable financial services organizations to greatly expand the scope and effectiveness of their PEP screening and transaction monitoring initiatives with minimal increase in administrative effort. High volumes of false positives drive organisations to screen only those customers with a high risk product category or portfolio. Due to this limitation, sophisticated money launderers are able to beat the system by using a combination of ‘low risk products’ to reduce the probability of being screened. FinScan and TONBELLER have joined forces to minimise this exposure by offering a package of ‘best of breed’ products that now make it possible for an organisation to screen their entire customer database for PEPs and other heightened risk entities and combine this with transaction monitoring based not only on the behaviour of the customer but also on their individual risk factors. This comprehensive risk-based approach will enable organisations to screen and monitor their complete database with only a marginal increase in the number of records requiring review. Mike Healy, FinScan’s executive vice president of operations, EMEA, says, ‘This new development is more than simply widening our product offerings and geographical coverage by partnering. The integration of FinScan with TONBELLER’s SironAML offering ensures that each product actually enhances the functionality of the other. This truly unique approach brings excellent products together to minimise the exposure organisations are potentially suffering – a great example of one plus one equalling three.” "We believe that our partnership will help FinScan and TONBELLER to bring a better solution and more value to the market,” explains Torsten Mayer, Managing Director of TONBELLER. "This partnership strengthens the competitive edge that our SironAML product has against other transaction monitoring solutions that fail to address the challenges of the Third EU Money Laundering Directive because it delivers to the client a more comprehensive way of screening for all money laundering activity – including that which is designed to not be detected. We look forward to challenging the activity that this loophole facilitates." About TONBELLER For further information about TONBELLER and its products, visit www.tonbeller.com. About Fin Scan
