Canadian fintech Koho is leveraging generative AI to streamline anti-money laundering (AML) investigations, cutting investigation times from 95 minutes to 35 and aiming for just five. David Kormushoff, Koho’s VP of Technology and AI, announced at AWS Re:Invent that their tool assists investigators by automating tasks like transaction analysis, open-web searches, and FINTRAC reporting.
Crucially, the AI is not trained on customer data, ensuring privacy. Koho plans to adapt the tool for evolving AI regulations. Beyond AML, Koho envisions AI’s role in fraud detection and customer education. The company remains cautious about deploying customer-facing AI for personalized financial insights.
