Built for sector-specific AML realities

AIRI develops practical AML compliance solutions adapted to actual business models, operational risk exposure and regulatory realities within each sector.

Definition

Sector-specific AML tailors frameworks, controls, technology and analyst workflows to the actual business model, customer base and typologies of each regulated or obligated sector — instead of applying a generic horizontal AML programme.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about sector-specific AML

Which sectors does AIRI cover?

AIRI provides sector-specific AML solutions for fintechs, payment institutions, electronic money institutions, cross-border payment providers, crypto and virtual asset service providers (VASPs), online gambling operators, real estate companies, mortgage and credit intermediaries and other high-risk obligated entities.

Why does sector specificity matter in AML?

AML risk varies sharply by business model. Payment institutions face agent oversight, sanctions and velocity risk. Crypto firms face wallet risk, mixers and Travel Rule. Real estate faces high-value cross-border flows and complex ownership. Generic horizontal AML programmes underperform because controls, typologies and operational pain points differ. AIRI tailors frameworks, technology and operational support to the sector's actual risk reality.

How does AIRI apply AI by sector?

AI is applied to the highest-friction, lowest-judgement parts of each sector's AML workflow — onboarding triage in fintech, TM alert prioritisation in payments, cluster review acceleration in crypto, behavioural anomaly review in gambling, document and beneficial ownership extraction in real estate, and document and PEP review in mortgage. Human analysts retain decision authority.
