Exam-ready SAR packages in hours, not days.
What is SARForge?
SARForge is SAR narrative software for bank AML teams: it assembles case data from core systems, detects the typology, and drafts a FinCEN-ready suspicious activity report narrative in which every claim traces to specific evidence. Investigators review and file; the assembly work stops consuming the day.
The evidence map is the product
The filed SAR narrative needs to be concise. The internal workpaper needs to be complete. SARForge keeps the narrative clean while preserving the source-backed evidence trail reviewers, audit, and exam teams need when a claim is challenged.
How It Works
- 01
Case evidence assembly
Pulls transaction monitoring alerts, transaction history, KYC records, OFAC screening results, prior SAR history, and account context into a unified case file. Your TM system detects. SARForge packages the SAR decision.
- 02
Typology and policy mapping
Maps the alert pattern to FinCEN suspicious activity categories, internal filing standards, and reviewer checklists so the SAR package reflects how your institution files.
- 03
Reviewer-ready SAR package
Drafts the narrative, pre-populates FinCEN fields, surfaces QA flags, and builds an internal evidence map where every factual claim links back to source data.
- 04
Human review and filing control
Your BSA team reviews, edits, approves, and files. SARForge logs the decision record and never submits automatically.
SAR Automation Software
What is SAR automation software?
SAR automation software helps BSA/AML teams turn alerts and case evidence into complete SAR workpapers, draft narratives, field mappings, QA checks, and filing records. SARForge focuses on the package your reviewer needs before your team files.
Alert to SAR package
| Input | SARForge prepares | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Transaction monitoring alert | Pulls alert rationale, transaction history, KYC context, prior SAR history, and supporting evidence. | Unified case evidence file. |
| Investigator and institution policy | Maps the activity pattern to filing standards, QA checks, and suspicious activity categories. | Reviewer checklist and field guidance. |
| Draft SAR package | Prepares fields, narrative, QA issues, source map, and human-review record. | Reviewer-ready SAR package; your team approves and files. |
How it compares
| Approach | Where it breaks down | SARForge |
|---|---|---|
| Transaction monitoring software | Detects and routes alerts, but does not usually produce the SAR package and internal workpaper. | Starts downstream of the alert and packages the filing decision for review. |
| AML case management software | Organizes cases, notes, tasks, and dispositions, but package quality still depends on manual assembly. | Builds the narrative, fields, QA checks, and evidence map from the case record. |
| Generic AI writing | May draft fluent text without source lineage, review controls, or FinCEN field structure. | Keeps every factual claim tied to evidence and leaves filing control with your BSA team. |

Your SAR bottleneck is not writing. It is production control.
BSA teams need timely filings, consistent typology treatment, reviewer confidence, and defensible evidence. SARForge helps turn a staffing and backlog problem into a stronger control environment.
The production burden
Banks report 21.41 hours of work per SAR. Much of that time is spent gathering evidence, checking fields, reconstructing context, and preparing a package that can survive QA and exam review.
The unsupported claim
SAR narratives often include factual statements that are hard to trace back to source records. Reviewers, audit, and exam teams need the internal workpaper behind the narrative, not just the finished text.
The governance gap
BSA officers, FIU managers, SAR QA leads, and model risk teams all need the same thing: more throughput without losing human approval, data lineage, or reviewer confidence.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is SAR narrative software?
Software that drafts the written narrative section of a suspicious activity report from the case file itself: transactions, KYC data, and alerts, organized into the who, what, when, where, and why examiners expect, with citations back to the underlying records.
Can AI automate SAR filing for banks?
AI can automate the assembly and drafting; the institution keeps filing authority. The defensible pattern is agent-drafted, human-approved: every narrative claim carries an evidence pointer, so BSA officers review against sources instead of rebuilding the case.
What is SARForge in one sentence?
SARForge is a SAR production control layer that turns transaction monitoring alerts and case evidence into reviewer-ready SAR packages with FinCEN fields, narrative, QA checks, and an internal evidence map for every factual claim.
Does SARForge replace our transaction monitoring system?
No. SARForge is not a transaction monitoring replacement. It starts after an alert fires, assembles the AML case file, drafts the SAR narrative, maps FinCEN fields, and preserves source attribution for examiner review.
Who files the SAR - SARForge or our team?
Your team files. SARForge prepares the draft package and logs the review process. A BSA officer or authorized reviewer edits, approves, and submits through FinCEN's BSA E-Filing System.
What does source attribution mean in practice?
Every factual claim in the draft narrative is tied to the evidence that supports it, such as transaction IDs, dates, amounts, account numbers, KYC fields, OFAC screening results, or source documents. The attribution is an internal workpaper and reviewer control, not citation clutter inside the filed SAR narrative.
What data do we need for a pilot?
A representative sample of recent alerts, associated transaction data, KYC fields, alert rationale, and examples of filed SAR narratives or internal standards. Pilots can start with redacted or synthetic data before connecting live systems.
Is SARForge SOC 2 certified?
Yes. SARForge runs on SOC 2 Type II certified infrastructure. Case data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access is logged and auditable.
