The solutions are powered by DATASEERS®, a data-driven B2B SaaS company specialized in harnessing data, automating manual processes and providing real-time insight for risk, fraud, compliance and operations. According to Celent, over 95% of AML alerts are false positives, leading to wasted time and inefficiency in investigations. AML analysts can also spend between 30 and 70 minutes per alert, according to a Nasdaq report. Combined with the staggering rise in fraud -- consumers reported losing more than $12.5 billion to fraud in 2024 -- financial institutions are prioritizing advanced fraud detection and AML compliance capabilities to protect themselves and their account holders. TruDetect: Clarity, transparency and control to stay ahead of financial crime TruDetect is designed to reduce false positives, streamline investigations and put compliance teams back in control regardless of the regulatory environment. The solution offers: Auto-generated, customizable templates for suspicious activity report (SAR) and currency transaction report (CTR) narratives Customer behavior dashboards that streamline all relevant transaction activity in one view Tailored user roles, workflows and alerts that align with any institution's needs AI-powered risk confidence scoring, empowering analysts to quickly gauge accuracy and make informed decisions "Unlike one-size-fits-all systems, TruDetect is built for every institution's unique compliance needs," said Steve Sanders, chief risk and information security officer at CSI. "TruDetect seamlessly integrates into any bank's compliance team, instantly providing support and AML protection that causes no disruptions to the customer experience. This solution serves as a testament to why we're excited to work with DATASEERS® on even more cutting-edge fraud solutions in the future." Available today, TruDetect can be integrated into any core banking system and is natively integrated within CSI's NuPoint core, ensuring faster deployment and smoother data flow without requiring third-party configurations. Some financial institutions are already seeing the value of CSI's comprehensive approach to AML compliance detection. "The sophistication and volume of fraud attempts in our industry have reached unprecedented levels," said Sharon Anderson, president and CEO of Williamstown Bank. "What excites me about TruDetect is its ability to grow in tandem with our demands and pool data for high-risk customers or other flagged items into one dashboard, making it easier to spot patterns and file SARs when needed." TruProtect: Real-time fraud protection against the most sophisticated attackers According to CSI's 2025 Banking Priorities Executive Report, 91% of survey respondents said they would be interested in using AI for fraud and AML detection and prevention. Like TruDetect, CSI's TruProtect system will leverage an AI-powered engine to provide real-time monitoring for suspicious P2P, ACH, wire and card activity. TruProtect will also monitor for malicious account takeovers. "Financial institutions need smarter, faster fraud detection tools that work around the clock," Sanders added. "With TruProtect, we're putting AI-powered prevention measures within reach for community banks, helping them stay one step ahead of bad actors without requiring specialized technical expertise or massive security teams. TruProtect helps banks protect themselves against fraudsters' evolving tactics." CSI plans to roll out its TruProtect solutions powered by DATASEERS® this year to empower all financial institutions to protect their customers. "CSI's strategic partnership with DATASEERS® sets a new standard for leveraging financial data to protect the vulnerable, empower institutions and combat crime," said Adwait Joshi, founder and CEO of DATASEERS®. "Together, we're driving a paradigm shift in core banking, redefining how financial institutions see, trust and use their data to enable intelligent automation, ensure compliance and optimize every decision. At DATASEERS®, we believe the future of finance demands a new standard of intelligence and integrity. This initiative is about pioneering a smarter, safer ecosystem -- one where financial institutions don't just react to threats, but stay steps ahead, delivering trust and excellence at every turn." This announcement follows the launch of CSI's check fraud solution in February, further solidifying the software provider's commitment to combating fraud and other financial crimes.

CSI has launched an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered anti-money laundering (AML) solution and said it plans to add more solutions of this kind later this year. The provider of financial software and technology said in a Monday (April 21) press release that these new solutions are powered by Dataseers, a B2B software-as-a-service (SaaS) company specializing in tools for risk, fraud, compliance and operations. The solution that was launched Monday, TruDetect, provides templates for suspicious activity report (SAR) and currency transaction report (CTR) narratives; customer behavior dashboards; tailored user roles, workflowsand alerts; and AI-powered risk confidence scoring, according to the release. It can be integrated into any core banking system. "TrueDetect seamlessly integrates into any bank's compliance team, instantly providing support and AML protection that causes no disruptions to the customer experience," CSI Chief Risk and Information Security Officer Steve Sanders said in the release. The solutions that will be rolled out later this year are called TrueProtect and will monitor for malicious account takeovers in addition to suspicious P2P, ACH, wire and card activity, per the release. "With TruProtect, we're putting AI-powered prevention measures within reach for community banks, helping them stay one step ahead of bad actors without requiring specialized technical expertise or massive security teams," Sanders said in the release. Dataseers founder and CEO Adwait Joshi said in the release that the partnership between the two companies will enable financial institutions to not just react to threats, "but stay steps ahead, delivering trust and excellence at every turn." These new solutions are the latest offerings to CSI's growing product suite. CSI said in September that it acquired overdraft management software firm Velocity Solutions to help bankers establish controls according to account behavior, giving them access to a real-time dashboard that tracks the health of their overdraft program. In July, CSI debuted a developer portal for community banks, saying it enables these banks to consider more application programming interfaces (APIs) across account opening, payments, document services and other applications, to onboard new solutions to open new lines of revenue, streamline back-office operations and enhance their engagement with account holders.
