“Our bank’s security and reputation are vital, and we need to make sure we operate according to changing global regulatory requirements,” said Martti Singi, chief risk officer of LHV. “After reviewing the top solutions in the market, we concluded that FICO’s solution was the most powerful, comprehensive and flexible. In addition, we were impressed with their roadmap for AML analytics using artificial intelligence and machine learning.”
“AML regulations are making it harder for criminals to launder money, and FICO is making it easier for banks like LHV to comply,” said Torsten Mayer, vice president for compliance solutions at FICO. “This is a priority for banks worldwide, and no firm has as complete a solution as FICO.”
