Case Study: BayernLB achieves automated trade surveillance and faster market-abuse detection with ACTICO's MAID

Trade surveillance at BayernLB New software for increased digitalization and automation

BayernLB, a leading German commercial bank, needed to modernize its trade surveillance to meet growing regulatory pressure and better prevent and detect market manipulation and insider trading. The bank chose ACTICO and its MAID (Market Abuse and Insider Dealing Detection) module from the ACTICO Compliance Suite to replace its ageing compliance system and provide both market-tested scenarios and individually configurable monitoring rules.

ACTICO implemented MAID to automatically screen every securities order, manage watch and restricted lists, and digitize duplicate records, with dialogue-supported workflows for investigators. The result was full automated screening of transactions, faster response to rule changes, clearer detection and clarification of anomalies within one platform, and greater flexibility and operational efficiency thanks to ACTICO’s configurable rule engine.
