Transaction Monitoring
Transaction monitoring is simply the ongoing check of customer activity to spot anything that doesn’t fit normal patterns. When alerts, escalation steps, and documentation are thoughtfully designed, monitoring becomes more than a box-ticking exercise. It becomes a practical layer of protection that keeps your business secure and compliant.
