The new list, which was released by the specialized research firm FinTech Global, highlights the industry's top innovators who are spearheading the battle against fraud, money laundering, and financial crime in the financial services sector in the face of an increasing number of obstacles facing compliance teams.

This problem has become more pressing in the present geopolitical and economic environment, especially with the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) by professionals and criminals alike. Compliance teams now face even more challenges due to the complexity brought forth by real-time payment adoption and the rapid revisions to PEPs and sanctions lists.

According to a ComplyAdvantage survey, this increasing demand is driving up compliance expenses, with over 50% of businesses looking into new technologies or capabilities to handle these difficulties.

The finalists were carefully chosen by a renowned group of analysts and business specialists. The judges were tasked with going over a list of more than 400 nominated businesses, and FinTech Global provided them with comprehensive information on each company to help them make a judgment.

"Compliance teams face growing datasets that outpace traditional tools as global financial crime trends continue to rise," stated Richard Sachar, director of FinTech Global. Under pressure to enhance their fraud prevention, biometrics, risk management tools, process automation, and data analytics, financial institutions are increasingly relying on artificial intelligence (AI).

"By showcasing the tech leaders in the industry who can help financial institutions stay ahead of fraudsters and criminals in 2024 and beyond, the FinCrimeTech50 list will assist senior compliance professionals in sifting through all of the solution providers in the market."

The recently compiled list features several globally renowned companies that are creating waves in the fight against financial crime.

Fincom, known for its innovative AML Sanctions Screening Solution across all payment rails, is one of the top contenders. The business takes pride in its smooth processing, which guarantees payments to continue flowing, and in reducing alert rates by more than 90%. Similar to this, FinScan offers a cutting-edge end-to-end solution to help businesses more successfully comply with AML, KYC, and CTF rules.
