NICE Actimize Positioned as a Category Leader in the 2019 Chartis RiskTech Quadrant® for Anti-Money Laundering and Watchlist Monitoring Solutions

Chartis cited NICE Actimize's regulatory compliance controls and reporting, along with its case management function, as among its core strengths

NICE Actimize, a NICE NICE business, and a leader in Autonomous Financial Crime Management, has been recognized by Chartis Research as a Category Leader in its recently released "Financial Crime Risk Management Systems: AML and Watchlist Monitoring Market Update and Vendor Landscape, 2019" research report. The Chartis RiskTech^® Quadrant for AML and Watchlist Monitoring showed evaluations of 27 vendors across two key assessment dimensions: "Completeness of Offering" and "Market Potential".

As a Category Leader, Chartis cited NICE Actimize's leading strengths as its advanced capabilities in regulatory compliance controls and reporting, along with its case management function. Other capabilities assessed were name and transaction screening, breadth of name screening sources offered, transaction monitoring, advanced analytics and visualizations and dashboarding.

Scoring NICE Actimize on its "Completeness of Offering", Chartis considered such factors as depth and breadth of functionality, data management and technology infrastructure, risk analytics, reporting and presentation layer. High scores are given to those firms that achieve an appropriate balance between sophistication and user-friendliness. In addition, functionality linking risk to performance is given a positive score. "Market Potential" criteria used in the evaluation included such factors as market penetration, brand awareness, momentum, innovation, customer satisfaction, sales execution and financial stability.

Craig Costigan, CEO, NICE Actimize:

"NICE Actimize has transformed the anti-money laundering industry's approach to fighting financial crime. Last year, we successfully introduced Autonomous Financial Crime Management to the AML category, including our suspicious activity monitoring solution which detects complex financial crime while increasing productivity, representing a massive shift in unifying and mitigating risk through targeted utilization of big data, advanced analytics everywhere, Artificial Intelligence and intelligent automation. NICE Actimize continues to make substantial investments in its anti-money laundering portfolio and we are honored that Chartis has once again recognized us as a Category Leader in this year's AML RiskTech Quadrant."

Rob Stubbs, Head of Research, Chartis:

"Many vendors provide AML as part of their solution set because AML components are increasingly incorporated into a wide range of processes (including operational processes such as KYC and CLM). Incumbent and established providers tend to dominate among specialist AML and sanctions solutions providers, and the combination of analytics challenges and FIs' low risk appetites means that ‘trusted' vendors have significant and durable market presence."

"As a Category Leader in this report, we note that NICE Actimize is innovating to address a broad range of issues facing FIs, while offering a deep and broad portfolio of transaction monitoring and watchlist filtering functionalities."

Chartis Research also positioned NICE Actimize as a Category Leader in its "Financial Crime Risk Management Systems: Know Your Customer, Market Update 2018" research report. The Chartis RiskTech^® Quadrant for KYC Solutions evaluated 22 vendors across two key dimensions: "Completeness of Offering" and "Market Potential".
