The NetReveal Financial Crime platform manages all aspects of anti-money laundering detection and financial crime investigation and reporting. It provides regulatory compliance, risk management, and fraud and financial crime detection to increase effectiveness and reduce costs for global, multi-jurisdiction operations. 

Following this acquisition, SymphonyAI's financial vertical will consist of NetReveal, with its extensive experience across a large customer base and its team of more than 750 subject matter experts, and SymphonyAI Ayasdi, with its award-winning Sensa financial crime platform and leading technology team. The two product groups will accelerate innovation across the NetReveal and Sensa portfolios for transformative, next-generation AI-based capabilities for financial crime detection.

"NetReveal is a global leader in regulatory compliance and financial crime detection and prevention with a 20-year heritage, operating in a fast-growing market," said Mike Foster, managing director of NetReveal. "We are well-positioned for growth. As part of SymphonyAI, NetReveal can pursue all avenues for that growth, including an innovative product roadmap, new partnerships, and expanded go-to-market opportunities."

"SymphonyAI's mission is to combine an in-depth understanding of business challenges with AI technology," said SymphonyAI CEO Sanjay Dhawan. "We reduce the burden on the enterprise worker with AI for new insights to improve operations. NetReveal fits right in that sweet spot, providing customers with unrivaled industry knowledge and proven technology. Our financial vertical now combines Sensa's market-defining innovation with NetReveal's strong counter-fraud and financial crime heritage. Our portfolio is unmatched in capabilities that will define the future of financial crime detection."

The transaction is expected to be completed later this year, subject to customary regulatory approvals.
