NICE Actimize, a NICE (NASDAQ: NICE) business, and a leader in Autonomous Financial Crime Management, has been recognized by Chartis Research as a category winner for Financial Crime Risk Management (FCRM) in its recently released 2019 RiskTech100^® rankings. Specifically, NICE Actimize was named the winner in the Financial Crime - Applications category, reflecting its depth and breadth of financial crime solutions.

This is the fourth consecutive year that NICE Actimize has won an award in a Chartis Financial Crime category. In addition to the category leadership positioning, NICE Actimize also maintained its position in the “Top Ten” of Chartis’s comprehensive list of Top 100 global vendors in risk and compliance technology. Chartis Research, part of Infopro Digital, is a leading provider of research and analysis on the global market for risk technology.

The Chartis RiskTech100^® ranking assessment criteria comprise six equally-weighted categories: functionality, core technology, strategy, customer satisfaction, market presence and innovation.

The RiskTech100^® only includes companies that sell their own risk management software products and solutions.

Rob Stubbs, Head of Research, Chartis
“Several key trends have shaped the market for financial crime risk management systems. FIs have struggled to integrate their various FCRM systems, and while other areas of fraud have remained fairly static, the payments landscape is evolving quickly. Whatever section of the market they cater to, vendors must increasingly be able to integrate their solutions quickly and efficiently with FIs’ systems and/or provide their own advanced technologies to process risk in real-time.

“With respect to KYC, vendor innovation is being driven by four key technologies and service models that can apply to different areas of the KYC process: workflow automation, profile enrichment, consortia and data sharing, and entity resolution and graph analytics. Whether it is enterprise fraud or KYC, NICE Actimize is offering a breadth and depth of functionality in its financial crime solutions that address these requirements.”

Craig Costigan, CEO, NICE Actimize
"As we advance our vision of Autonomous Financial Crime Management, with its strong underpinnings of intelligent automation, we will continue to focus on providing industry-leading solutions that enable organizations to better operationalize financial crime fighting across many channels, while making more effective use of data and personnel. We thank the analyst team at Chartis for continuing to recognize our market growth and expansion, innovation and, most critically, the importance we place on supporting the changing needs of our global customer base.”
