FrankieOne’s Transaction and Activity Monitoring (TM) solution actively monitors both financial and non-financial activities against predefined rulesets to identify potential fraud and money laundering risks. This guide will walk you through how to review and manage these results within the FrankieOne Portal.

Activity and Alerts

An activity is an event or transaction submitted to FrankieOne for evaluation — for example, a bank deposit, a login, or a profile change. An alert is the Portal representation of a Process Result (PRO) generated when an activity meets the risk threshold configured in your monitoring workflow. Alerts indicate a potential fraud or AML concern and require review by a Fraud or Compliance Officer. Here is how they relate:
  • Activity initiates a check: An activity (e.g., a transaction) triggers a check.
  • Check results in an Alert: If the check identifies something suspicious based on configured rules, an alert is generated.
  • Alerts are managed: Fraud and AML officers then manage these alerts, which might involve resolving them, creating a case for further investigation, or assigning them to a colleague.
Essentially, an “activity” is the transaction or event itself, while an “alert” is a notification or flag raised due to the risk assessment of that activity. For full definitions, see Key Terms and Definitions.

​
Alerts (Check results)

When the Evaluate API is called and the system detects potential transaction and activity monitoring issues, alerts are generated. These alerts indicate potential fraud or AML concerns that require investigation and resolution. These alerts are categorized into two primary sections:
  • AML transactions and activities - includes alerts related to suspicious financial transactions (for example, transfers, deposits, withdrawals) and activity patterns that may indicate money laundering or other financial crimes.
  • Fraud transactions and activities - includes alerts related to fraudulent transactions (for example, unauthorized payments) and high-risk behavioral activities (for example, unusual login attempts and account changes) often associated with account takeover or identity fraud.

​
Collapsed view

The collapsed view provides a high-level summary of the check results. This allows for a quick assessment of outstanding alerts or those currently flagged as ‘In Review’. It prominently highlights the specific rules that were triggered during the check, offering immediate insight into the potential risk areas. Collapsed view showing triggered rules summary

  • IP Signals: Information regarding the IP address, including location and associated risk.
  • Other information – These are custom attributes (details.customAttributes ) that have been set as part of the details object during the evaluation of an activity. This makes additional activity-level information easy to review alongside standard KYC details.
