What is Napier AI?

Napier AI is a compliance tool designed to help organisations manage Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements using artificial intelligence. It analyses financial transactions and customer data to identify suspicious patterns and potential compliance risks, reducing the manual effort required for AML screening. The tool is aimed at financial institutions, fintech companies, and regulated businesses that need to maintain AML compliance without significant infrastructure investment. By automating much of the detection work, Napier allows compliance teams to focus on investigating genuine risks rather than processing false positives.

Key Features
