BriteBase
For MSBs

FINTRAC-aligned screening for money services businesses.

Money services businesses carry heavy AML obligations on lean teams. Our platform delivers sanctions, PEP and adverse media screening with entity resolution, so a small team can stay compliant without drowning in alerts.

Lean team, full obligations

Where do MSBs teams feel the most pressure?

  • 01

    Lean compliance teams

    Small teams cannot clear high alert volumes by hand.

  • 02

    FINTRAC obligations

    Reporting and recordkeeping requirements leave no room for gaps.

  • 03

    High transaction velocity

    Fast remittance flows need real-time screening, not batch.

  • 04

    Cross-border exposure

    Corridors span jurisdictions and sanctions regimes.

FINTRAC context

What is the regulatory and operational context for MSBs?

MSBs in Canada operate under FINTRAC and PCMLTFA and similar regimes abroad. The challenge is meeting full obligations with limited headcount, which makes false-positive reduction and clear records essential.

FAQ

Questions msbs teams ask.

Is BriteBase aligned with FINTRAC requirements for MSBs?

Our screening system is built around FINTRAC and PCMLTFA obligations, and captures every screening decision as an audit-ready record for FINTRAC review, reflecting the specific reporting and recordkeeping duties that apply to money services businesses under Canadian AML law. MSBs carry particular obligations, including sanctions and PEP screening, suspicious transaction reporting, and recordkeeping standards, that leave little room for gaps given both the transaction volume of the sector and the level of regulatory scrutiny FINTRAC has directed at MSBs in recent years. Building alignment into the platform rather than treating it as a configuration a firm has to assemble itself means the audit-ready record is produced as a natural byproduct of normal screening operation, not a separate compliance exercise layered on top of it after the fact.

Can a lean MSB compliance team use BriteBase?

Yes. Agentic entity resolution is designed to keep the alert queue short enough for a small team, so full FINTRAC and PCMLTFA obligations do not require a large headcount to meet, which matters specifically because MSBs often operate with compliance teams sized for the business rather than for the alert volume that unfiltered, name-only screening would otherwise generate. A lean team facing a flood of false positives from unresolved screening faces a genuine capacity problem, not just an inconvenience: every hour spent clearing noise is an hour not spent on the genuine matches and reporting obligations that actually carry regulatory risk if missed. Reducing that noise by up to 80% through entity resolution is what makes the existing capacity of a lean team sufficient for real obligations, rather than requiring the team to grow in proportion to raw alert volume.

Does BriteBase screen transactions in real time for money services businesses?

Yes. Senders and receivers are screened against global lists as transactions happen, which fits the real-time pace fast remittance flows need, rather than a batch process that would leave a transaction settled before its sanctions or PEP status is actually confirmed. Real-time screening matters specifically for MSBs because remittance and money-transfer flows are often expected to complete quickly, and a screening process that could not keep pace with that expectation would either slow the core business down or create pressure to skip proper screening under time pressure. Because the same entity-resolution engine runs on this real-time flow, the false-positive reduction that benefits a lean compliance team applies to transaction screening just as it does to customer onboarding, rather than transaction screening being a separate, less-refined check bolted on for speed.
