BankLingo's Transaction Monitoring and Reconciliation modules work together to give financial institutions real-time visibility, compliance screening, and automated matching across every transaction channel.

Transaction Monitoring​

Every transaction that flows through BankLingo — deposits, withdrawals, transfers, loan disbursements, mandate collections — passes through the monitoring layer.

What It Does​

  • Real-Time Surveillance — Every transaction is screened as it happens, not in an overnight batch.
  • AML & Sanctions Screening — Automated checks against sanctions lists, PEP databases, and configurable watchlists.
  • Pattern Detection — Identify structuring, velocity anomalies, unusual beneficiaries, and dormant account reactivation.
  • Threshold Alerts — Configure amount-based, frequency-based, or behaviour-based triggers that flag transactions for review.
  • Case Management — Flagged transactions create investigation cases with full audit trails, notes, and resolution tracking.

Workflow-Driven Alerts​

Transaction monitoring alerts are routed through the BPMN process engine. When a suspicious transaction is detected, you can automatically:

  • Hold the transaction pending review
  • Notify the compliance officer via SMS or email
  • Escalate to senior management if not resolved within a defined SLA
  • File a Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) using pre-built templates
  • Block the account if a threshold is exceeded

Reconciliation​

Manual reconciliation is slow, error-prone, and doesn't scale. BankLingo automates the matching process across all your transaction channels.

How It Works​

  • Automated Matching — Configure matching rules (amount, reference, date, account) to automatically reconcile transactions between your CBS, payment channels, and NIBSS.
  • Exception Handling — Unmatched transactions surface as exceptions with suggested matches, allowing staff to resolve discrepancies quickly.
  • Multi-Channel Support — Reconcile across bank transfers, card payments, USSD transactions, agent collections, and mandate deductions in a single view.
  • Audit Reports — Generate detailed reconciliation reports for internal audit, regulatory submissions, and management review.

Daily Operations​

Set up automated end-of-day reconciliation workflows that:

  • Pull transaction records from all channels
  • Run matching rules against the GL
  • Flag discrepancies and create exception cases
  • Generate summary reports for management
  • Archive completed reconciliation records

Compliance-Ready​

Both modules generate the audit trails and reports that regulators expect — transaction histories, alert resolution logs, reconciliation summaries, and exception reports. Everything is timestamped, attributed, and immutable.
