Information Sharing

Leverage shared information and expertise by working with peer investigators at other 314(b)-registered institutions to strengthen your investigations and uncover potentially suspicious activity.

Working together to fight financial crime

Verafin provides a centralized platform for information sharing that allows investigators at 314(b)-registered financial institutions to easily send, receive, and respond to requests for information directly in our secure environment, expediting decision making in the investigation process.

Investigators can participate in collaborative investigations with other institutions directly in Verafin, securely sharing information to gain valuable insight into complex crime ring activity that spans multiple institutions. With shared investigative cases, institutions can enhance the information provided to law enforcement on potential fraud, money laundering or terrorist financing activity.

"Verafin has been at the forefront of FRAML from the start, and the solution has continued to evolve as the requirements of FRAML have expanded."

Nick Vitchev, Research Director at Chartis

Features

DAILY 314(b)-LIST VERIFICATION

Daily verification of the 314(b)-registration list ensures you are working with registered contacts — at all times.

CONFIDENTIAL COLLABORATION

All collaborations are private, and you only collaborate with the institutions you choose, whether one-to-one, or within a secure group collaboration.

GROUP COLLABORATIONS

Share information with investigators in a single group thread to investigate complex activity that spans multiple institutions. You can voluntarily request to include additional institutions in a collaborative investigation, at any time, to gain further insight into possible criminal activity affecting a larger group of institutions — possibly indicative of a large-scale crime ring.

DOCUMENT & FILE SHARING

Once you start collaborating with another 314(b)-registered institution, you can easily upload and share relevant documents and files to strengthen your investigation, such as image files or transaction spreadsheets.

INTEGRATED CASE MANAGEMENT

Integrated case management functionality lets you create a fully audited and tracked investigation. Upload related files, assign tasks to other users, and document your decisions — all in one location. With centralized, logged, and reportable collaborative investigations, Verafin makes your reporting, auditing and examination process easier.

CENTRALIZED WORKFLOW DASHBOARD

Verafin’s collaborative workflow helps you quickly see the status of all incoming and outgoing 314(b) requests and keeps all collaborations and reports in a single, easy-to-access location. Our visual storytelling approach presents evidence-based alerts along with your information requests and collaborations, whether they are pending, active or closed, with quick links to 314(b) reports — in one convenient location.

Benefits

Find complex and deeply hidden criminal activity

Criminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated, building complex networks that spread their activity across multiple institutions. By leveraging big data intelligence and cross-institutional analysis in the Cloud, Verafin helps investigators uncover activity that might otherwise be missed by a single institution. Connect one-on-one with 314(b) investigators, or with multiple institutions in a group collaboration, to expand your investigative strength.

Collaborate with confidence and strengthen investigations

Voluntarily collaborate in Verafin’s secure environment with confidentiality and privacy. Verafin’s secure collaboration platform replaces burdensome secure email processes for more efficient and effective cross-institutional communication. Sharing information can expedite and improve your investigations by providing you with access to additional information that is vital to building a more complete picture of customer activity.

Easy 314(b) list searching

Verafin makes it easy to search the up-to-date 314(b)-registration list. Instead of manual institution searches, you can simply type an institution name into the provided search field and matching results are displayed. Then, at a click, you can begin an information request from the institution you need to contact.
