Case Study: Central Payments achieves faster, more flexible fraud and AML monitoring with Unit21

Central Payments reduces false positives and deploys rules the same day with Unit21

Central Payments, a payment and issuing technology company, faced significant challenges with its rigid legacy fraud and AML monitoring system. Their one-size-fits-all framework could not adapt to different risk patterns across their diverse fintech partners and products, leading to operational inefficiency, high false positives, and slow response times. They turned to Unit21 for a more flexible solution using its Transaction Monitoring, Case Management, and Sanction Screening products.

By implementing Unit21, Central Payments gained a highly configurable, no-code platform that unified sanctions screening and transaction monitoring. This allowed them to create and deploy program-specific rules rapidly, often on the same day, which dramatically reduced false positives and improved detection of true risks. The solution provided the scalability needed for their rapid growth, improved the customer experience with fewer false declines, and built a stronger, more efficient risk infrastructure.
