How to Choose the Right AML Software?

🏦

If you're an individual SOFOM

You need a comprehensive platform like SIAC, Giro26, or SCISA that includes AML as a module within your credit and collections system.

🔍

If you only need AML/KYC

Specialized solutions like ArmorAML or KYC Systems are better — you don't pay for modules you won't use.

🤖

If you're a SOFOM platform

An AI assistant like RooxAI integrates into your existing platform to give each SOFOM client access to instant AML queries with source citations.

Questions to Ask Before Buying

Does it generate automatic XML reports for CNBV?

Quarterly CNBV reports are mandatory. Your software MUST generate them automatically. If not, you'll spend hours in Excel.

Does it screen against politically exposed persons (PEPs) lists?

Regulations require PEP identification. Make sure your software updates lists automatically — they change frequently.

Does it update when regulations change?

Rule-based systems need manual updates. AI solutions can adapt faster to regulatory changes. Ask how long they take to update after a CNBV change.

How long does implementation take?

Some platforms take 3-6 months. Others (especially cloud/SaaS) can be ready in weeks. If you have an urgent CNBV report, this matters a lot.

Is it multi-tenant if I'm a platform?

If you're a software provider for SOFOMs, you need data isolation between clients. Not all systems support this. RooxAI was specifically designed for this case.
