Unit21 Brings New, Powerful Compliance Capabilities to Financial Institutions

A modern approach for FIs to fight fraud and automate AML at the speed of fraudsters

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Unit21, a global risk and compliance platform that proactively mitigates risks tied to fraud, money laundering, and other financial crime, unveiled its new suite of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) features to help financial institutions (FIs) like banks, credit unions and sponsor banks report fraud faster while maintaining FinCEN compliance at this week’s American Bankers Association Risk and Compliance Conference in Indianapolis.

These AML features complement Unit21’s fraud offering to provide a holistic, purpose-built platform to enhance FI legacy systems. Unit21’s transaction monitoring and case management offerings in one customizable, no-code platform represent a major leap forward in advancing risk and compliance measures within Financial Institutions.

“Financial institutions are inundated with increased criminal activity, multiple reporting and detection tools, and ever-changing regulatory requirements that are causing significant burnout within risk and compliance teams. They shouldn’t have to choose between flexibility and compliance,” said Trisha Kothari, CEO and co-founder at Unit21. “Our platform provides FIs with a simplified yet modern approach to combating fraud and AML that breaks down silos and increases response rates with unmatched speed and clarity.”
