Network and relationship analysis enable organisations to understand how customers, entities, and transactions are connected, revealing indirect risk that may not be visible through isolated screening checks. Financial crime risk often emerges through networks of relationships rather than single entities acting alone.

Within the Facctum platform, network and relationship analysis support solutions such as Customer Screening, Payment Screening, and Transaction Monitoring, helping compliance teams identify hidden exposure and contextualise risk more effectively.

Why Network And Relationship Analysis Is Needed

Traditional screening approaches focus on individual names or transactions in isolation. However, risk can be introduced through associations such as shared ownership, intermediaries, counterparties, or repeated interaction patterns.

Network and relationship analysis address this challenge by revealing how entities are linked, enabling compliance teams to assess exposure beyond direct matches.

How Network And Relationship Analysis Works

Network and relationship analysis work by mapping relationships between customers, entities, accounts, and transactions. These relationships may be based on ownership structures, transaction flows, shared attributes, or behavioural interactions.

By analysing these connections over time, the platform can highlight indirect exposure, concentration risk, or unusual relationship patterns that warrant further review.

What Makes Facctum’s Approach Different

Facctum’s network and relationship analysis are designed to be explainable and operationally usable. Relationship signals are surfaced alongside the underlying data that supports them, allowing analysts to understand why connections are flagged.

This approach avoids opaque graph outputs and ensures that network insights can be incorporated into regulated decision-making.

Where Network And Relationship Analysis Is Used

Network and relationship analysis are applied in scenarios such as:

• Identifying indirect sanctions exposure

• Analysing beneficial ownership and control structures

• Detecting interconnected transaction behaviour

• Supporting enhanced due diligence investigations

These use cases benefit from broader contextual understanding of risk.

How Network And Relationship Analysis Fit Into The Platform

Network and relationship analysis integrate with other platform capabilities such as behavioural and pattern detection, dynamic risk scoring, continuous screening, and case investigation workflows. Network insights can influence risk scores, alert prioritisation, and investigative focus.

This integration ensures that relationship-based risk informs compliance decisions consistently.
