If you were asked how risky any given customer is to you, at this moment, would you be able to say?
Would you know:
- The customer’s typical activity patterns
- Whether they are on a sanctions list
- Are they a politically exposed person (PEP)
- Have they moved to a high-risk location
- Have they ever been investigated by regulators
All of these factors directly influence the risk a customer presents to your business. They are also factors Alessa analyzes to help you assign a risk score to your customers and entities.
Key Features
Configurable Scoring Model
Customer risk models will not always score every customer accurately, so most organizations need a way to adjust the score for select customers. Alessa provides both a robust library of standard risk factors and also allows you to include additional risk modeling specific to your needs. This gives you the best scoring capabilities for your business.
Data Integration for Better Scoring
Alessa uses data from various sources, including sanctions lists and transaction monitoring results, to provide an assessment of the risks of doing business with an individual or business. You can configure how Alessa analyzes and applies that data to determine a customer’s risk level, based on your specific business needs.
Ongoing Monitoring for Accurate Scoring
Alessa can review your customer database, daily or periodically to update customer risk scores based on their activities and third-party data.
Calculating Risk
Alessa’s customer risk scoring model uses risk factors, weights, frequency, and logic to calculate the score. Risk factors are usually grouped into two key areas:
Profile
Activity
The profile category includes factors specific to the customer: their industry, nature of business, profession, country of residence, citizenship, length of relationship and so on.
