The company sells two main software tools — OCEANS for AML alert optimization using statistical analysis, and CPAMS for customer profile and activity monitoring — alongside validation and consulting services for AML monitoring systems, fair lending models, enterprise risk management, and Community Reinvestment Act compliance. The firm is staffed by former regulatory examiners and data analysts who deliver tailored compliance solutions primarily to smaller U.S. banks and credit unions.
