Our take
The global cost of money laundering stands in the trillions of dollars, with related fines costing businesses billions a year. Quantifind aims to help combat this with automated risk decisions and anti-money laundering investigations, freeing up clients' security teams to focus on the biggest threats.

Altogether this allows the platform to act as a one-stop-shop for AML, delivering value across the whole risk mitigation process.
