Santander UK uses AI to detect human trafficking by spotting unusual transactions, leading to multiple ring dismantlings.
Santander UK has used an AI system developed with ThetaRay to detect potential human trafficking by analyzing unusual transaction patterns like repeated payments to classified ads, frequent small cash withdrawals, and international travel bookings.
Since launching the tool about a year ago, it has generated hundreds of alerts reviewed by over 1,000 financial crime specialists before being shared with the National Crime Agency, helping dismantle multiple trafficking rings.
The AI identifies complex, evolving patterns that traditional methods may miss, offering a significant advancement in fighting modern slavery.
While privacy concerns exist, Santander says human review ensures accuracy and minimizes false positives.
The bank plans to expand the tool globally and apply it to other financial crimes.
