Suspicious Transactions
Ensure your business complies with Canadian sanctions laws and avoids unintentional violations with real-time sanctions screening.
Why Suspicious Transactions?
Reporting entities are legally obligated to report transactions that raise suspicion of money laundering or terrorist financing, regardless of dollar value. Failure to detect and report such activities can lead to serious legal and reputational consequences.
Our Suspicious Transaction Reporting (STR) service enables timely identification and escalation of red flags, offering complete audit trails, automated documentation, and streamlined submission to FINTRAC.
Who Is It For?
These businesses face increasing scrutiny under Canada’s Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA) and require a trusted system to comply with suspicious transaction reporting obligations.

Detect and act on unusual patterns instantly—before they escalate into regulatory breaches.
Maintain detailed logs of detection logic, decision-making, and reports for audits.
