eflow Global, a provider of regulatory compliance technology, has launched PATH AI – a new AI-powered functionality integrated into its TZTS Trade Surveillance system.

PATH AI delivers explainable and contextualised insights that enable compliance teams to investigate trading alerts more efficiently.

With fines relating to market abuse enforcement reaching $1.8 billion in 2024 – the second-highest annual total on record across 163 cases – and regulators repeatedly citing weaknesses in trade surveillance processes, financial institutions face mounting pressure to strengthen their compliance capabilities.

Through an intuitive interface, users can investigate alerts using conversational prompts to access contextualised information. For example, they can identify whether a trader has triggered similar alerts within a specific period, generate case summaries for escalation, or explore linked patterns of behaviour. All data points are fully referenced to support regulatory audit requirements, with a chat history tracking conversations for reporting and escalation purposes.

The system also dynamically suggests relevant prompts based on the questions being asked, enabling compliance teams to explore different investigative routes efficiently.
