I'm glad to inform on completion of implementation of the SART system
in one of Polish banks.
The SART (System for Transaction Registry and Analysis) is a
Anti-money laundering (AML) system, used in data-gathering and
advanced analysis of bank transactions (including cash-flow chains),
in terms of the prevention of the use of the financial system for the
purpose of money laundering and terrorist financing (EU directive
implementation: 2005/60/EC - called also as the "Third EU Money
Laundering Directive").
The SART system based on Analytical SQL Server which in turn is based
on PostgreSQL server as the DBMS backend.
This information may be also important for PostgreSQL community,
because it says about using PostgreSQL server as a production VLDB
DBMS and OLAP Data Warehouse server in banking.
More information about SART and Analytical SQL Server you can find on
this website:

On this page:

you can also find publications on a number of important technological
aspects of aforementioned implementation of SART in bank. These
publications were created as case studies and are related to my PhD
study.
