Our take
Ripjar provides a data intelligence platform, Labyrinth, that uses Artificial Intelligence to protect organisations against financial crime threats like money laundering, fraud, and funding terrorism. Labyrinth enables human analysts to make better-informed decisions with speed and accuracy, saving their clients’ costs and time.
Previous investments signify confidence in Ripjar's data intelligence technology and its ability to protect companies and governments from criminal activities that jeopardise their assets and prosperity. And it's no surprise, as Ripjar claims Labyrinth is the most sophisticated and advanced cyber-security solution on the market.
As economic uncertainty rises globally, so does the incidence of financial crime, particularly with the increasing shift to online transactions. Both tech companies and the UK government are turning to Ripjar to address these challenges. With a global client base exceeding 20,0000 and recent innovations, the company is well set to see further growth.
