Initiatives Reference: INI-001 reported in 2021
Mopso
An anti-money-laundering venture built on Semantic Web and privacy-preserving technologies — regulatory-aware analytics, automated customer due diligence and Zero-Knowledge Proof privacy for financial institutions.
Incubation reported
Background
Mopso was announced in 2021 as a venture born after more than a year of incubation in LinkedData.Center, and grew into an independent venture.
SDaaS application
The Mopso platform is built on LinkedData.Center products: SDaaS for the platform components, GDaaS Enterprise for knowledge-graph instances, and LODMAP2D to explore suspicious operations.
Overview
Anti-money-laundering is one of the greatest challenges the coming decade puts before us. Mopso has been recognised as one of the most innovative products in the sector.
How it works
The new regulations are not satisfied by the filing of a suspicious-transaction report alone; today regulators ask for a greater and deeper understanding of the business in relation to anti-money-laundering activities.
Mopso knows the regulations and uses the available information to understand better how AML can improve your business:
- it is audit-proof: it makes it easy to explore the data and to communicate it during inspections, because it is always able to justify its answers;
- it helps you improve by providing powerful tools supporting self-assessment;
- it automates the customer due-diligence (KYC) processes in full respect of the users’ privacy and of the rules that protect it.
Mopso supports AML managers, avoiding drowning them in disconnected or useless information:
- it reduces costs in transaction monitoring, distinguishing the probable false positives among the unexpected ones raised by your existing tools;
- it improves performance: it discovers new money-laundering patterns by analysing the relationships between the actors of the transactions.
Mopso pleases IT:
- it integrates easily with existing tools, allowing a simple, incremental and controlled rollout;
- it works both on internal infrastructures and in the cloud, both as a licence and as a service;
- it is non-invasive and uses few resources.
Mopso pleases users:
- the multi-award-winning Amlet — part of the Mopso solutions — gathers the information needed for customer due diligence non-invasively, directly from the client, and allows an automatic verification consistent with the regulations in force;
- it implements a Zero-Knowledge Proof cryptographic system to optimise the privacy spectrum designed specifically for the cases required by the anti-money-laundering regulation on customer due diligence;
- it fully respects the Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) model, which makes the user the sole owner of their data.
Mopso pleases regulators:
- it is developed taking into account decades of experience gained in the field;
- it takes into account and improves the best practices published at the Italian, European and world level;
- it guides financial institutions along a path of continuous improvement of anti-money- laundering practices, making them more efficient and more effective.
Mopso is a family of tools based on the state of the art in software technologies:
- ontologies;
- semantic inference engines based on open-world hypotheses;
- neural-network machine-learning algorithms;
- homomorphic cryptography;
- DAO and smart contracts;
- SSI and blockchain;
- Verifiable Credentials.
Mopso incorporates the following LinkedData.Center products:
- SDaaS, to build the components of the platform;
- GDaaS Enterprise, for Knowledge Graph instances;
- LODMAP2D, to explore suspicious operations.
