Our take
Anti-money laundering (AML) regulations are vital protection for modern businesses, but ensuring compliance can be a complex and time-consuming process. First AML solves this problem with its regulatory technology solution.
First AML first launched in New Zealand in 2017, before expanding operations to Australia in 2021, and the UK in 2022. This growth is a testament to the rising demand for First AML's tech, bolstered by a diverse customer base united by the objective of busting financial crime and exploitation through compliance tools. With the company citing that it can increase compliance efficiency by 70%, First AML has raised around $30 million in funding so far, further accelerating its growth.
First AML's main challenge will be competing with other already established regulatory tech providers. However, its ambitious expansion strategy has been successful, and the company has seen impressive growth and a 400% revenue increase since 2024, enabling it to remain competitive in the coming years.
