AI-driven fraud prevention and AML solutions that help financial institutions detect financial crime, reduce risk and meet regulatory compliance.
NICE Actimize is an enterprise Finance platform that provides AI-driven fraud prevention, anti-money laundering (AML), and financial crime risk management solutions for banks and financial institutions, with pricing available only through custom enterprise quotes. It is built for tier-1 and mid-market banks, credit unions, capital markets firms, insurers, and fintechs that need regulator-grade controls at scale.
Headquartered in Hoboken, NJ and operating as a division of NICE Ltd., NICE Actimize serves more than 1,000 clients globally, monitors over 5 billion transactions daily, and protects approximately $6 trillion in value every day. The platform bundles five core pillars: entity-centric Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Enterprise Fraud Management with real-time cross-channel detection, SURVEIL-X Holistic Trade Compliance for financial markets surveillance, Investigation and Case Management, and Data Intelligence for KYC and customer risk. Machine-learning models continuously adapt to emerging fraud typologies such as authorized push payment (APP) scams, mule activity, and synthetic identity fraud, while correlated case management reduces investigator workload by collapsing alerts into a single consolidated view.
Compared to the other Finance and RegTech vendors in our directory of 870+ AI tools, NICE Actimize is positioned at the top of the enterprise segment â recognized by Celent's 2026 KYC Solutionscape as a Luminary and by Datos as a Market Leader in Fraud & AML Case Management. Where challenger RegTech tools like Hawk AI, Unit21, or ComplyAdvantage target growth-stage fintechs with faster deployment and API-first architectures, NICE Actimize is the heavyweight choice when breadth of coverage (AML + fraud + trade surveillance + case management in one suite), regulatory auditability across multiple jurisdictions, and the Actimize Insights Network's shared-intelligence consortium matter more than plug-and-play speed. Clients can engage sales in English, French, Japanese, and Chinese, reflecting the platform's global regulatory footprint.

Consolidates, correlates, and centralizes alerts from AML, fraud, and trade surveillance into a single investigator workspace. Analysts get workflow automation, SLA tracking, and a holistic risk view, which Datos recognized as a Market Leader capability in 2026.

Aggregates a wide variety of external data sources for identity verification, sanctions and PEP screening, adverse media, and ongoing customer risk scoring.
