Cross-Border AML & Sanctions Monitoring Agent with Google ADK

Foreign banking institutions expanding into North America face complex OCC sanctions and AML monitoring obligations across international payment channels. Build a cross-border wire transaction monitoring system using Google ADK and Gemini multimodal capabilities to identify structural money laundering schemes, achieving 97% detection precision.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

TBML Anomaly Flagging

100% of injected trade-based money laundering anomalies must be flagged.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

detection_precision

Precision rate of cross-border AML flagging • target: 0.97 • range: 0.94-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Implement Google ADK agent modules for real-time SWIFT payment parsing

  • Leverage Gemini multimodal features to review supporting trade invoice documents

  • Design automated regulatory alerting workflows compliant with OCC guidelines
