VynFi AML: 748K Banking Transactions with AML Labels

748,869 synthetic banking transactions. Financial services sector, 5 companies, 6 monthly periods. 59 columns including 14 pre-computed velocity features.

  • 411 suspicious transactions (0.05%)
  • 37,419 false positives (5% injection rate)
  • 11 transaction channels (ACH, ATM, card, cash, check, mobile, online, P2P, SWIFT, wire)
  • Counterparty details, velocity windows (1h/24h/7d/30d), amount z-scores

The suspicious rate is low by design. Production AML systems see comparable rates. The false-positive injection provides realistic noise for threshold calibration.

Limitations

  • Labels are generated, not from real SARs. Typology patterns are rule-based, not learned from case data.
  • Velocity features are computed per-account over the synthetic timeline. They reflect the generation model's temporal logic, not real transaction behavior.
  • The 100K row parameter produced 748K banking transactions due to the engine's expansion factor. This is a property of the generation, not a data error.
