CloudBlaze Anti-Money Laundering

CloudBlaze AML modernizes rules-based anti-money laundering controls for banks operating across multiple business lines and regions. It augments existing AI-based AML capabilities with the regulatory rule coverage institutions require, replacing legacy COTS engines that may not support all scenarios, desired workloads, or evolving cloud strategies.

The platform provides a consistent rule-engine foundation across Retail, Corporate, Insurance, and other domains while integrating into complex banking IT landscapes. Privacy-by-design and secure handling of financial transactions containing PII are embedded from the outset, supported by secure SDLC, DevSecOps alignment, and additional security and quality gates. Banks can use the solution internally or offer it as a SaaS capability that allows smaller institutions to build their own AML pipelines.

The architecture uses customer-approved compute and platform services, including container/compute components for backend processing, Amazon S3 for durable object storage and operational artifacts, Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL for relational rule/application data, AWS VPC networking for secure segmentation, and Amazon CloudWatch/logging through the customer's platform for monitoring.

The documented European bank program used a phased path from discovery and proof of concept through MVP, full-scope delivery, subsequent releases, and per-region rollout. This approach enabled gradual replacement of distributed on-premises installations, supported the journey to public cloud, and reduced delivery risk through close business and engineering collaboration, architecture alignment, and disciplined release management.
