Machine learning models help Metro Bank achieves 71% uplift in mule payment detection to meet PSR regulations

LexisNexis helped Metro Bank get PSR‑ready by deploying custom machine learning models and consortium intelligence to detect mule payments in near real time, lifting historic mule detection volumes by 71%. By combining Digital Identity Network data, transactional patterns, and beneficiary account intelligence, the solution identified over 2.5 million in outgoing proceeds‑of‑fraud in six months and flagged 13% of suspicious accounts as confirmed mules, significantly reducing potential PSR reimbursement exposure that could otherwise have reached about 5 million annually.
