Scoring Architecture

Three layers. One decision. Under 50ms.

The cascade architecture routes each transaction through progressively deeper analysis, with early exit for clear-cut cases. 90% of transactions are resolved in under 2ms.

Graceful degradation built in
1

Layer 1: Rules Gate

<2ms

80+ rules across 14 categories — velocity, geographic, device, AML, account takeover, mule detection, SIM swap. Instant approve or block for clear-cut transactions.

2

Layer 2: Fast Model

2-5ms

Gradient boosting model trained on 265 features. Three-band output: approve below 15, block above 85, pass through the ambiguous middle to Layer 3.

3

Layer 3: Deep Ensemble

15-25ms

Parallel ML components — GBM, vector brain, graph engine, LSTM — combined by a stacking meta-learner. Isotonic calibration maps to true fraud probability.

4

Decision Bands

Final

Dynamic thresholds: APPROVE 0-30, REVIEW 31-60, STEPUP 61-85, BLOCK 86-100. Adjusts for night hours, high-risk MCCs, large amounts, and new accounts.

Core Capabilities

Built for Bangladesh. Ready for the world.

Purpose-built fraud intelligence combining global best practices with deep Bangladesh-specific knowledge — hundi corridors, MFS agent networks, SIM swap patterns, and regulatory compliance.

51 reason codes with English and Bengali narratives

3-Layer Cascade Scoring

Rules gate in under 2ms, fast GBM model in 2-5ms, deep ensemble in 15-25ms. Early exit means 90% of transactions never reach the expensive layers.

80+ Detection Rules

14 rule categories covering velocity, geographic, device, AML, account takeover, mule detection, dormant accounts, and more. Per-bank threshold overrides.

Bangladesh Intelligence

Hundi corridor detection across 6 divisions, MFS agent behavioral profiling, SIM swap risk scoring, and Bangladesh holiday-aware transaction analysis.

Graceful Degradation

Four-level degradation (Normal, Elevated, High, Critical) based on p95 latency. System always returns a decision, even under extreme load.

Alert & Regulatory Engine

Band-based alerts via SMS, WhatsApp, push, and dashboard. Automatic CTR, structuring, and SAR triggers per Bangladesh Bank regulations.

Consortium Intelligence

Federated learning across participating banks. Cross-institution fraud pattern sharing without exposing raw transaction data. The SaaS moat.

Bangladesh Intelligence

Fraud patterns only locals understand.

Generic fraud systems miss Bangladesh-specific attack vectors. Aegis was built from the ground up with deep knowledge of local fraud typologies, regulatory requirements, and financial infrastructure.

9.3% MFS fraud rate demands local intelligence

Hundi Corridor Detection

Monitors 6 high-risk divisions (Chattogram, Brahmanbaria, Cumilla, Kushtia, Khulna, Bagerhat) for off-hours corridor activity, round-amount repetition, and cross-border remittance correlation.

SIM Swap Risk Scoring

5-level risk assessment (NONE through CRITICAL) based on swap recency, device age, transaction value, and synthetic identity detection via NID-linked account counts.

MFS Agent Profiling

Behavioral baselines for mobile money agents. Detects split transactions, float drain, collusion signals, and off-hours anomalies against established agent patterns.

Regulatory Compliance

Automatic CTR filing for cash transactions above BDT 10 lakh. Structuring detection at 80-99% of threshold. SAR triggers on accumulated high-severity rule breaches.

Deployment

Live in weeks, not months.

Aegis deploys as a lightweight agent in the bank data center with cloud scoring, or as a fully on-prem appliance for banks that require it.

Bangladesh Bank CBS-in-DC compliant
1

Deploy connector agent

A lightweight Go binary installs in the bank DC, connects to the CBS, and streams transactions via encrypted gRPC. Zero changes to existing CBS infrastructure.

2

Shadow mode validation

Aegis scores every transaction in parallel with existing systems. Compare results, tune thresholds, and validate detection rates before going live.

3

Activate real-time scoring

Switch from shadow to active mode. Aegis scores transactions inline, publishes alerts via SMS, WhatsApp, and dashboard, and triggers regulatory reports automatically.

4

Continuous improvement

Analyst feedback loops retrain models. Consortium intelligence improves detection across all participating banks. Monthly performance reports track ROI.

Protect Your Customers

9.3% MFS fraud rate. Zero existing solutions.

Bangladesh processes 12 billion MFS transactions annually with no dedicated fraud detection platform. Aegis fills that gap with production-grade AI that understands local fraud patterns.
