  "account": "Flagright, a firm offering a transaction monitoring system, has earned Nacha Preferred Partner status for its contributions to ACH compliance, fraud detection and risk prevention, Nacha announced on August 24. The designation is given to entities that showcase leadership and innovation in ACH Network solutions governed by Nacha. Flagright’s monitoring engine assists companies in tracking payment transactions, spotting deviations from typical behavior and ranking alerts based on individual risk policies. The company serves over 100 clients in the financial services and payments sectors. Nacha President and CEO Jane Larimer emphasized the critical importance of security in ACH Network transactions, stating that fraud prevention is a top priority for the organization. In July, Nacha reported a 6.2% year-over-year increase in ACH Network volumes to 9.3 billion transactions, with the total payment value rising 11.1% to $25.9 trillion. Flagright Co-Founder and CEO Baran Özkan expressed that achieving Nacha Preferred Partner status will aid the company in fortifying ACH with robust fraud and compliance measures while maintaining a seamless experience for legitimate payments. According to Özkan, the partnership provides Flagright a more prominent platform to engage with the payments community, exchange practical real-time monitoring techniques, and facilitate the integration of ACH fraud detection, AML controls, investigations and governance within a unified operating system. \"Becoming a Nacha Preferred Partner gives Flagright a stronger forum to engage the payments community, share practical approaches to real-time, risk-based monitoring, and help institutions connect ACH fraud detection, AML controls, investigations and governance in one operating system,\" Özkan stated. \"We look forward to supporting a safer, more resilient ACH ecosystem.\" Earlier this year, Flagright disclosed a $12.5 million Series A funding round to bolster its artificial intelligence platform designed for financial crime compliance. The company claims that its platform delivers up to 93% fewer false positives and 80% lower compliance costs compared to fragmented tools. The emergence of agentic AI systems for financial crime compliance is reshaping the landscape of financial compliance operations, according to Flagright Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer Madhu Nadig. \"The more context a system of record plus a system of action can have, the more use cases we can serve and the deeper the use cases,\" Nadig told PYMNTS in a June interview.",
