Case Study: MUFG Bank achieves globally integrated financial‑crime compliance and cuts data‑cleansing from 130 to 5 hours with Alteryx

MUFG Bank Leverages Alteryx for Global Financial Crimes Compliance

MUFG Bank’s Global Financial Crimes Division (GFCD) was created to deliver a globally integrated AML/CFT and sanctions compliance program, but faced huge volumes of diverse transaction data, fragmented IT systems and a shortage of data‑science skills. Analysts relied on manual Excel workflows and time‑consuming processes, which made it difficult to tune monitoring, find complex relationships and prioritize high‑risk cases quickly.

GFCD deployed Alteryx for its intuitive UI, powerful data‑processing engine and centralized server/network capabilities, and paired the platform with training to share workflows and build in‑house expertise. The deployment cut data‑cleansing from about 130 hours to roughly 5 hours per session, enabled more sophisticated and predictive analyses, accelerated digital transformation across the bank, and made it easier to scale and share analytical work globally.
