(ITI), a subsidiary of Fiserv, Inc. (Nasdaq:FISV), and GlobalVision Systems, Inc., will provide bankers with an advanced solution to help them comply with federal requirements outlined in the USA PATRIOT Act and Bank Secrecy Act (BSA).

Through this alliance between ITI, a top provider of financial technology software and services, and GlobalVision Systems, a supplier of knowledge-based business management systems, financial institutions using ITI's Premier® banking software now have the opportunity to deploy a comprehensive regulatory risk management system called Premier Patriot Officer.

"In this era of tightened security measures and laws to combat fraudulent activities and terrorism, our clients are under increased pressure to meet federal requirements," said ITI Senior Vice President Jamie Deterding. "Premier Patriot Officer provides financial institutions with a powerful tool to help eliminate compliance risks, while at the same time saving them time and money."

Premier Patriot Officer uses knowledge-based artificial intelligence to establish a comprehensive set of algorithms to detect suspicious activities. It keeps five years of detection, exemption and investigation records, reasons for not filing specific reports and all the reports that have been filed with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Furthermore, it produces various reports for regulators' examinations, risk management and auditing purposes.

In addition to automating the detection, investigation, monitoring and filing of Suspicious Activity Reports, Premier Patriot Officer also helps identify high-risk customers through multidimensional risk scoring. "All wire transfers are confirmed and SWIFT transactions are evaluated against the list published by the U.S. government," said Deterding.

"We value our alliance with ITI and look forward to continuously strengthening our national security with superior technology," said Oliver Song, president and CEO of GlobalVision Systems. "By seamlessly integrating our PATRIOT Officer™ risk management solution into ITI's core system, Premier Patriot Officer empowers thousands of financial institutions to meet increasingly stringent regulatory requirements with greater peace of mind."
