A typical BPO staffs up. Bretton switches on.

Same queues, same scorecard — two very different first quarters. Nomigration project, no rip and replace.

Typical BPO Experience

  • Slow ramps

    6–8 weeks of recruiting and training before a single alert moves.

  • Thin quality control

    5–15% of cases sampled. You are inferring the quality of your program from a slice of it.

  • Turnover

    The team you trained in Q1 is not the team working your queue in Q4.

Managed Services

  • First workflow live in week one

    Send us your current contract — we tell you what it costs per case and what time to value. Real cases in week one, not week eight.

  • 100% quality control

    Every case reviewed against your own QC scorecard, in real time. You see every number — no sampling, no inference.

  • A team that compounds

    Named onshore experts stay on your judgment calls and SAR work. The team on your queue in Q4 is better than the one you started with.

Big 4 quality at AI speed.

World-class technology paired with AML experts, measured against your own scorecard.

Half the price per case

A dramatic efficiency gain from pairing world-class technology and AML experts.

Onshore experts in the loop

Named investigators on the judgment calls and on SAR-related work.

100% quality control

Every case is reviewed against your QC scorecard. Your team sees pass rates by workflow in real time, not a monthly sample report.

Live in 60 days

From signed contract to first workflow live in 60 days — consumption pricing from day one, no migration project.

Built by industry veterans
