Bank Trade Risk Profile

Hold Your Own Dealer Book To The Same Standard

  • Profiles institution-level trade risk on AD-owned transactions.
  • Runs the same scoring model as customer risk, in one unified view.
Customer flows and AD-owned transactions scored side by side under the same rules

Act On Risk Before The Money Moves

Score Every Customer Before The First Transaction

The profile is built and validated at onboarding, so the first trade is priced against a risk position you already hold.

Keep Profiles Moving With Trade Behaviour, Not Stuck At Onboarding

Each shipment, counterparty, route and price feeds back into the score automatically. No annual review cycle to wait for.

Attach Risk Context To Every Downstream Alert

Screening, price and document alerts arrive carrying the customer's current risk position, so triage starts with the answer to “who is this?”

Cover Your Own Dealer Book, Not Just Customer Flows

AD-owned transactions are profiled on the same model, so institution-level trade risk sits in the same view as customer risk.

Risk Scoring You Can Tune And Defend

Adaptability

Scored To Your Risk Appetite

Trust

The Model Proposes. A Named Human Decides
