Our take

Featurespace is the world leader in Enterprise Financial Crime prevention for fraud and Anti-Money Laundering. The company is responsible for the invention of Adaptive Behavioural Analytics and achieved its best result to date through the creation of the ARIC platform, a real-time machine learning software that helps to prevent fraud and financial crimes by risk-scoring events in more than 180 countries.

The global fraud detection and prevention market is exhibited to grow to $129.17 billion USD by 2029. Among Featurespace's main competitors are Signifyd, the world's largest provider of Guaranteed Fraud Protection, and Riskified.  Featurespace's ARIC Risk Hub is used by more than 30 major global financial institutions including HSBC, TSYS, Worldpay, NatWest Group and Danske Bank.

Fraud is all about discovering an individual's vulnerability. Recently, the way we live and work has been significantly disrupted, exposing us to new and different threats. The goal for Featurespace is to keep finding solutions to new customer problems while constantly evolving to meet new standards.
