Case Study: Union Bank & Trust achieves reduced false positives and increased BSA/AML productivity with Abrigo's BAM+

How Does BAM+ Support a Large Institution

Union Bank & Trust, a community bank with $8.2 billion in assets, doubled in size after acquiring Stellar One and faced a surge in transaction activity and AML alerts that strained its BSA/AML staff. The bank, a BAM user since 2006, had upgraded to Abrigo’s BAM+ in 2012 and needed a solution that could scale and be quickly tuned to the new risk profile.

Abrigo helped Union tune BAM+ scenarios and parameters, track adjustments for documentation, and deploy workflows that split BSA responsibilities across two teams; Union also uses Abrigo’s Enterprise Fraud Case Management and the Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) module for regulatory compliance. After customizing BAM+, Union Bank & Trust reduced false positives, increased investigator productivity, made alerts more manageable, and strengthened controls to support continued growth.
