GeoAML

Eight ML-driven risk factors. One composite score.

The core AML risk engine. Scores every US zip code across drug trafficking, financial crime designations, border proximity, industry risk, and trade-based money laundering.

Risk factors

What GeoAML covers

Each factor contributes to a composite GeoAML Risk Score and Level, calculated from machine learning, curated intelligence, and expert features.

H

HIDTA

High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas designated by ONDCP. Scored at zip-code level, not county.

F

HIFCA

High Intensity Financial Crime Areas with elevated money laundering activity.

G

Geographic Targeting Orders

FinCEN-issued orders imposing additional reporting on specific areas.

S

Southwest Border

Distance to the US-Mexico border. Primary corridor for drug smuggling.

D

Drug Trafficking Risk

ML-derived risk within HIDTA and non-HIDTA regions. 5-tier classification.

I

Industry Risk

NAICS-based industry risk. MSBs, CIBs, NBFIs, TPPPs, and more.

N

International Nexus

Cross-border payment probability risk indicators.

T

Trade-Based Money Laundering

TBML vulnerability. Import/export concentrations near ports and airports.

Why zip-code-level ML matters

Traditional: county-level HIDTA

Binary flag — entire county is HIDTA or not. No differentiation between high-crime urban zip and quiet suburban one. Massive over-alerting.
