FinScan and Quantifind Partner to Help AML Teams Uncover Hidden Risk Faster with AI-Powered Adverse Media Intelligence
Strategic partnership combines FinScan’s precision matching and data quality technology with Quantifind’s AI-powered adverse media intelligence to help financial institutions accelerate investigations and detect financial crime faster.
Pittsburgh, PA and Palo Alto, Calif – September 8, 2026 — FinScan, an Innovative Systems solution and leading provider of advanced AML and sanctions compliance solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Quantifind, a leading provider of AI-powered financial crime and national security risk intelligence for KYC, sanctions, payments, investigations and third-party risk detection. The integration brings proven, AI-powered adverse media screening directly into the FinScan platform, helping organizations identify financial crime risks in global news long before an entity appears on a watchlist.
FinScan operationalizes Quantifind’s adverse media intelligence by embedding it directly into existing sanctions, PEP, and watchlist workflows, giving compliance teams a unified view into all screening activity. Its precision matching, data quality technology, and advanced alert suppression capabilities actively minimize duplicate and low-value alerts while tying adverse media findings directly to overall customer risk. This enables compliance teams to spend less time reviewing noise and more time making confident, audit-ready risk decisions.
Quantifind’s Graphyte platform continuously analyzes global news and other public sources to surface emerging financial crime risks in real time. Powered by purpose-built language models, AI-driven entity resolution, and dynamic risk typologies, Graphyte evaluates multilingual content seamlessly while keeping customer data strictly within the organization's own jurisdiction.
By uniting Quantifind’s adverse media intelligence with FinScan’s advanced screening, matching, and data quality technology, the integrated solution allows organizations to continuously monitor customers, suppliers, and counterparties against global news. Compliance teams can investigate and resolve confirmed risks directly within the same workflow they use for sanctions, politically exposed person (PEP), and watchlist screening.
The Finscan-Graphyte solution is designed for banks, insurers, payment providers, fintechs, and other regulated entities seeking to strengthen AML compliance, reduce investigative workloads, and improve the speed and confidence of risk decisions.
This partnership arrives as regulators increasingly evaluate AML programs on actual effectiveness rather than the mere existence of controls. FATF’s fifth round of mutual evaluations places heightened emphasis on measurable outcomes, while the Wolfsberg Group continues to champion risk-based approaches. Adverse media sits at the forefront of this industry shift, as institutions face significant financial crime exposure from individuals and entities linked to money laundering, human trafficking, and corruption, even if they never appear on a sanctions list or official watchlist.
"Regulators increasingly expect AML programs to demonstrate effectiveness, not simply the existence of controls," said Deborah Overdeput, Chief Operating Officer, FinScan. "Adverse media has become one of the hardest areas to get right because the volume is enormous and much of it is noise. Compliance teams can spend countless hours reviewing alerts while still missing the customer who was never on a watchlist. Graphyte helps identify what matters, while FinScan provides the data quality, precision matching, and workflow to turn those insights into action."
"Modern compliance programs need adverse media intelligence that is accurate, explainable, and fast enough to support confident decision-making," said Graham Bailey, COO of Quantifind. "Graphyte was built to resolve entities and assess risk across vast volumes of public data with the transparency regulated organizations require. Partnering with FinScan enables compliance teams to incorporate that intelligence directly into their existing screening workflows, helping analysts make faster, more informed decisions."
