Anomaly Detection in Financial Institutions

AI for Financial Services and Risk Management

Helping financial institutions detect risk faster, reduce false positives, and build trust in every transaction.

Oracle AI Data Platform gives financial institutions a single, governed foundation to understand their data and act on it in real time. Banks, insurers, and regulators all deal with an avalanche of data every second. Transactions, alerts, logs, and customer profiles are often stored across isolated systems that don’t talk to each other.

AIDP connects all of this in one secure environment built for speed, scale, and regulatory confidence. The data flows in continuously, is automatically prepared and governed, and becomes immediately available for analytics and AI. That means no waiting on manual investigation scripts or disjointed reports. Analysts can focus on the real work: detecting fraud, reducing false positives, and uncovering hidden risks before they become costly problems. It fits naturally into how financial teams already operate, bringing compliance, risk, and data science teams onto the same page with a shared source of truth. The result is clearer insight, faster action, and decisions backed by consistent, explainable data.

AI and machine learning have tremendous potential to increase the effectiveness of anti-money laundering and other financial crime detection programmes, and deliver higher efficiencies in the investigative process.

Why it matters
Financial institutions face a constant balancing act: protecting customers while maintaining regulatory compliance and operational efficiency. With millions of transactions and alerts generated every day, most organisations are drowning in false positives, disconnected data, and rigid legacy systems that can’t adapt fast enough. The result is wasted effort, higher costs, and missed threats hiding in plain sight.

Behind every compliance breach or fraud event is the same root problem. It’s fragmented data and outdated pipelines that can’t keep up with the scale of modern finance. Fraud and AML teams often rely on manual reviews and static rule sets, while the volume and complexity of data grow by the hour. Without a trusted foundation, AI and analytics will only ever go so far.

How Oracle AI Data Platform changes that
Oracle AI Data Platform brings financial, operational, and behavioural data together in a single governed environment where it can be used confidently for analytics and AI. It automates ingestion, quality checks, and lineage tracking, giving teams full visibility into how data moves and transforms across systems.

AIDP enables real-time fraud detection, dynamic risk scoring, and predictive analytics that evolve with new patterns instead of breaking under them. The same foundation supports explainable AI and model governance, so compliance teams stay in control while innovation moves forward. Transaction monitoring, AML triggers, or risk reporting, it doesn’t matter. AIDP turns reactive investigation into proactive confidence: so financial institutions act faster, stay compliant, and get ahead of risk.

AIDP is built to keep pace, even at scale. It helps financial institutions detect risk sooner, build trust faster, and protect what matters most.

James Toomey, the Deloitte partner who leads the programme, points out that there are a wide range of benefits for companies who take part in the awards.

“It gives companies an impartial, third-party ranking, a benchmark of where they stand in the Irish tech sector,” adds James.

“It’s also a great way to raise the profile of the company. This can be particularly helpful for younger businesses, who may not have had enough time to develop a strong national or international profile yet.”

Andrea agrees, “For me, the most meaningful part was knowing it helped more businesses find us. That means more founders getting the funding they need to grow – and that’s why we do what we do. As a female founder, it was also powerful to be part of a platform that celebrates bold, high-growth companies.”

An important innovation, says James, is the recent creation of an Alumni Group, which gives past participants the opportunity to network easily and bounce off each other across a wide variety of topics. “Most of them are facing the same challenges in terms of scaling or breaking into specific markets, so it’s inevitable that someone in the network will have been down that path before.”
