Verafin Warns of the Growing Complexity of Organized Money Laundering Activity

Verafin Inc., today released a white paper that discusses the increasing organization and complexity surrounding human trafficking and organized crime and the money laundering activity that accompanies it.

St. John’s, NL, May 02, 2011 — Verafin Inc., ( http://www.verafin.com ) a leading provider of compliance, anti-money laundering (AML) and fraud detection software, today released a white paper that discusses the increasing organization and complexity surrounding human trafficking and organized crime and the money laundering activity that accompanies it.

The white paper is the latest research by Verafin’s team of analytics researchers, who believe it is essential to keep ahead of emerging financial crime trends in order to better help detect them. In this paper Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) compliance professionals will learn:

* How criminal activities such as human trafficking and organized crime are leading to complex money laundering problems;
* About the increased pressure and substantial fines state and federal regulators are applying to non-compliant financial institutions;
* How next generation, anti-money laundering technology can help uncover complex money laundering scenarios.

Finally, the white paper ( http://information.verafin.com/LP=11?CID=701C0000000cVDc ) outlines three complex money laundering scenarios that offer insight into how criminals involved in complex criminal activities attempt to clean their illegal funds. Each scenario also illustrates how Verafin’s advanced, next generation analytics generate clear and relevant alerts that present information in a visual, easy-to-understand format. All alerts are scored based on their risk to the financial institution and contain evidence indicating the nature of the suspicious activity, letting users act quickly to stop destructive activity.

Currency Transaction Reporting for Dummies® Book Launched

Verafin offers banks and credit unions a step-by-step guide to filing, automating, and simplifying CTRs.

St. John’s, NL, April 27, 2011 — Verafin Inc. ( http://www.verafin.com ), a leading provider of compliance, anti-money laundering (AML) and fraud detection software, today announced the release of Currency Transaction Reporting for Dummies®, Verafin Limited Edition. This complimentary pocketbook was created for BSA/AML compliance and risk management professionals, offering detailed instructions on how to complete the form and guidance on how an automated system can improve what is arguably one of the most important regulatory tasks required by the federal government. A currency transaction report is filed by financial institutions to FinCEN to report currency (cash or coin) transactions over $10,000 conducted by, or on behalf of, one person, as well as multiple currency transactions that aggregate to be over $10,000 in a single day.

“One of the things Verafin strives to achieve is to provide valuable information to our BSA compliance professional community. From our product, to services like our Dummies series of pocketbooks, we are committed to helping people not only work more efficiently, but gain insight through new channels,” said Joe Cordo, Vice President of Marketing at Verafin. “CTR for Dummies is the first in our series, and it has already seen hundreds of downloads. We look forward to continuing this new learning initiative with our future books, including FRAML for Dummies, due out later this summer.”

Currency Transaction Reporting for Dummies®, Verafin Limited Edition provides people involved in a financial institution’s day-to-day compliance operations with a handy reference guide that not only helps answer any questions about CTR filing, but also allows them to gain a better understanding of FinCEN form 104. The book is divided into five parts, taking the reader from a better understanding of anti-money laundering regulations, the CTR form, and how to recognize tricky situations, on to the benefits of automations and best practices when evaluating automated solutions. Complimentary copies are available for a limited time online: http://www.verafin.com/ctr-dummies-pr
