ThetaRay, deployed in over 40 countries across six continents, is on a journey from being a leader in AI-powered Transaction Monitoring solutions to a cloud-based, end-to-end financial crime detection platform used by over 100 financial institutions including Santander, Payoneer, and Travelex.

With ThetaRay, clients detect multiple types of financial crimes such as money laundering, terrorist financing, and drug trafficking. Most recently, in a global effort to combat modern slavery, Santander UK teamed up with ThetaRay to deploy advanced technology aimed at detecting human trafficking within financial transactions. This collaborative effort received accolades for \u201cBest Use of Data for Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery Detection\u201d at the Digital Transformation Awards in June 2024.<\/p>\n

ThetaRay\u2019s product suite ensures financial institutions can swiftly and effectively comply with complex regulatory requirements. Furthermore, ThetaRay enables seamless customer onboarding and transaction flows and allows companies to scale rapidly and capitalize on business opportunities while fostering growth across varied business lines.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe acquisition of Screena is a significant milestone for ThetaRay as we continue our mission to power the global fight against financial crime by enhancing our offerings with the most advanced AI capabilities. It furthers our commitment to delivering an end-to-end platform that enables banks, fintechs, and regulators to effectively identify financial crime \u2013 vital capabilities to grow and operate a financial institution today,\u201d remarked Peter Reynolds, CEO of ThetaRay. \u201cThe recent launch of our Customer Risk Assessment (CRA) product this year and the mass adoption of our leading Transaction Monitoring offering demonstrates both a clear need in the market and our proven ability to build pioneering solutions. We are delighted to have closed our first acquisition, bringing key capabilities and further establishing our already rapidly growing presence in Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe need for international, cross-border payments, and business corridors between Europe and Africa, South America and the US, and many locations around the world requires the use of AI and advanced technology to make sure that the transactions are trusted, and that the people behind them are trusted,\u201d said Erel Margalit, Chairman of ThetaRay, and Founder and Chairman of JVP. \u201cThetaRay\u2019s AI also establishes a highway for the good actors that require an international payment network to do their business. The acquisition of Screena advances the ability to identify bad actors, whether it\u2019s money laundering, drug trafficking, or terrorist financing in a much more pointed way. This move is a testament to ThetaRay\u2019s mission of thwarting financial crime and continuously enhancing capabilities to win this critical fight on our journey to becoming a category leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

C\u00e9dric Iggiotti, CEO of Screena, stated, \u201cIntegrating with ThetaRay has been a game-changer for us at Screena, revealing the true potential of combining Transaction Monitoring, Screening, and Customer Risk Assessment. For too long, screening was siloed from other critical financial crime detection tools. Our partnership with ThetaRay not only meets stringent regulatory demands but also significantly enhances our crime detection capabilities, as evidenced by our recent successes with major financial institutions. Looking ahead, we are excited to push the boundaries of what\u2019s possible in building a more trustworthy financial ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
