A transaction monitoring alert marks a pattern your AML program must run under 31 U.S.C. § 5318(h). anonym.plus removes the customer's name, account, and amount from that flag on your device. The rule logic and pattern stay clear while the private data goes.
When this applies
A model team studies past hits to cut false positives. You give them a cleaned set that keeps the signal but not the customer.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the export in anonym.plus on your device.
- The tool flags the name, account, and amounts.
- Local OCR reads a scanned printout if attached.
- Keep the rule ID and trigger logic.
- Swap each identifier for a label.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The export (CSV-to-PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the pattern readable).
- Optional batch for a folder of past hits.

Limitations & cautions
Your program must retain the raw records for examiners. Clean only copies used to tune models or train staff. A rare amount-and-date pattern can still hint at one account, so review what stays.
Frequently asked questions
Can I redact the record my program keeps?
No. Keep the raw evidence for examiners. Clean a copy for model tuning or training instead.
Will the rule logic survive?
Yes. Allow-list the rule ID and trigger fields so the signal stays while customer data is removed.
Is the data uploaded anywhere?
No. The tool is offline, so a live flag stays on your machine.
