The firm uses AI-powered technology to offer monitoring solutions to protect banks and fintechs against financial crimes.

A proven fintech revenue leader

Last year, the Israeli fintech firm raised $31 million in a funding round that welcomed Eric Benhamou and Saints Fund as new investors. This round brought the total amount of funds raised to more than $90 million.

The company aims to use the funds to grow the features of its product and expand its user base to include any company that handles cross-border payments, which in itself is a huge industry in these times.

ThetaRay’s solutions are being used by banks and even governments as it helps to sniff out financial crime with respect to cross-border payments. The company has also announced that the governments of Nigeria and Ukraine have implemented their solutions for fighting corruption and terrorism.

The flagship product of ThetaRay is its Financial Crimes Prevention Solution which is a platform designed to reduce risks in payments and it helps the banks and financial institutions to ensure that their platforms are not used for money laundering and other financial crimes.
