"What ATTUS Technologies is doing with its regulatory compliance software is helping our customers protect <span class="xn-location"><location value="LC/us" idsrc="xmltag.org">the United States</location></span> from potential enemies, both foreign and domestic, by helping them assure BSA/AML and OFAC compliance. Our software alerts institutions to terrorist watch-list hits, before money changes hands."</p><p><a href="http://www.frbservices.org/campaigns/remittance/index.html?id=58&loc=3">The Federal Reserve Banks</a> "will be implementing a new message format to support extended-character business remittance information, and improved cover payments solution, a new field to support payment notification and better alignment with the SWIFT message formats." ATTUS' WatchDOG<sup>®</sup> Wire is ready for these upcoming changes.</p><p>In addition to <a href="http://www.attustech.com/bsa-aml/bsa-aml.aspx">BSA/AML compliance</a>, WatchDOG<sup>®</sup> Wire handles financial institutions' compliance with the U.S. Treasury Department's <org>Office of Foreign Assets Control</org><a href="http://www.attustech.com/ofac/ofac.aspx">(OFAC)</a> with real-time screening of incoming and outgoing wires for potential OFAC terrorist watch-list hits. Failure to comply with BSA/AML or OFAC regulations can result in costly, if not devastating, financial penalties.</p><p>WatchDOG<sup>® </sup>Wire enables institutions to mark and track any potential risk related to a customer or transfer. It also creates default reports with frequency and amounts of wires by date and/or customer as well as wire funds velocity by account number and time period. Both reports simplify the analysis necessary to comply with BSA/AML.</p><p>"Our entire wire process has been enhanced as we are able to process wires faster and more efficiently – while complying with OFAC," said <span class="xn-person"><person>Melanie Main</person></span>, of <a href="https://www.savingsinstitute.com/index.php?"><org value="ACORN:308681971" idsrc="xmltag.org">Savings Institute Bank & Trust</org></a>.</p><p>WatchDOG<sup>®</sup> Wire minimizes errors by automatically validating ABA routing numbers; reducing the amount of work and time spent by an institution's staff by streamlining the wire creation and approval process; enabling the creation of wire templates for recurring transactions; and providing quick access to and facilitating the assignment and auditing of all transaction information.</p><p>"The wire transfer process remains one of the most labor-intensive processes for financial institutions," Fedell said. "And that's why we created the industry-leading WatchDOG<sup>®</sup> Wire, an easy-to-use compliance software solution. These behind-the-scenes enhancements are to stay ahead of federal regulatory compliance requirements without changing functionality for our customers.</p><p>"These are reasons financial institutions like <a href="http://www.langleyfcu.org/index.html"><org value="ACORN:3310827946" idsrc="xmltag.org">Langley Federal Credit Union</org></a>, <a href="http://horizonbanktexas.com/"><org value="ACORN:1890422212" idsrc="xmltag.org">Horizon Bank</org></a>, <a href="http://www.empirenb.com/">Empire National Bank</a> and <a href="https://www.southwbank.com/"><org value="ACORN:4164775611" idsrc="xmltag.org">SouthWest Bank</org></a> have turned to ATTUS' WatchDOG<sup>®</sup> Wire to assure regulatory compliance," Fedell said.</p><p><b>About <org>ATTUS Technologies, Inc.</org></b></p><p><org>ATTUS Technologies, Inc.</org> is an industry leader in software and services for regulatory compliance, homeland security and fraud prevention.
