Product Updates 💻
📄 FinCen SAR Filing
We are excited to introduce our new in-app SAR (Suspicious Activity Report) feature, which allows teams to generate SAR reports to E-File on the FINCEN/BSA portal.
This feature will also pre-populate reports with case data, and maintain a complete history of SAR reports directly on the platform, further streamlining this process for your team.
Stay tuned for more FinCEN-related features coming soon!
🔐 Advanced 2FA and Active Device Overview
We have expanded our Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) methods to include phone-based and authenticator-based authentication support. You’ll also see an Active Device Overview, which allows you to easily monitor and manage all the devices currently logged into your account. If you encounter unfamiliar devices, you can force a sign-out, ensuring that only trusted devices have access.
