Business and transactions

SAR reporting

Draft, approve and file suspicious activity reports.

  1. Draft. From an alert or customer page. The subject, period, totals, transactions and red flags are filled in, with a who, what, why and how narrative to complete.
  2. Submit for approval.
  3. Approve or reject. A compliance user (your MLRO) who is not the author decides. This four-eyes rule can be switched off.
  4. File with the reference from the NCA or your FIU. Linked alerts become sar_filed and the customer is re-scored.

Export as a printable PDF, JSON or a CSV of transactions. Analysts see identifiers masked, and billing and developer users can't see SARs at all, to prevent tipping off. Submit through the NCA SAR Portal in the UK or your FIU's system (often goAML).
