Sovereign Bancorp Inc. has revealed plans to use compliance software from SAS Institute Inc. to monitor transactions for money-laundering or other suspicious activity.
Sovereign, with $60 billion in assets, selected SAS on the strength of its roster of financial-services industry customers, according to an SAS statement.
