HOBOKEN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--For the third consecutive year, NICE Actimize, a NICE (Nasdaq: NICE) business and the industry leader in Autonomous Financial Crime Management, was named “Best Financial Crime Prevention Technology” category winner in Financial Technologies Forum / FTF News 2020 Technology Innovation Awards. The final award winners for this year’s competition were determined by votes cast online by FTF News’ readers and industry participants. The 2020 FTF Technology Innovation Awards honor software, services and systems that help firms withstand an onslaught of state-of-the-art financial crime.

Offering the industry’s broadest line of financial crime-fighting solutions, NICE Actimize excelled this past year with important updates to Autonomous Financial Crime Management, including its cloud-based X-Sight Financial Crime Risk Management Platform-as-a-Service which offers a single, unified, cost-effective way for financial service organizations to rapidly innovate and introduce new services while supporting best-in-class financial crime, risk and compliance management capabilities.
