Case Study: Deutsche Kreditbank AG achieves real-time fraud detection and anti‑money‑laundering protection with SAS

Deutsche Kreditbank AG combats fraud and money laundering with SAS®

Deutsche Kreditbank (DKB), the second-largest direct bank in Germany, depends heavily on online banking and faced rising customer demand for real-time service and strong security while fraudsters grew faster and more sophisticated. Ensuring fast, accurate detection of fraud and money‑laundering without burdening legitimate customers was a major compliance and operational challenge.

DKB implemented SAS® Anti‑Money Laundering and SAS® Fraud Detection and Investigation to cover the complete fraud‑management lifecycle, combining real‑time detection, flexible rule development and coordinated case investigation. The customizable platform reduced false positives, sped up responses, improved efficiency across units, strengthened customer trust and helped transform compliance from a cost center into a value‑generating function.
