Quantexa

Quantexa is a London-based decision intelligence platform that uses graph-based entity resolution to uncover complex money-laundering schemes. Founded in 2016, it is described as a unicorn valued at $1.8 billion.

Technology Dynamic Entity Resolution, which the company says reaches 99% accuracy in joining data records, feeds contextual graph analytics. On top of this the vendor offers AML and KYC monitoring and fraud detection. By linking records about people and companies, the platform aims to reveal hidden networks of shell companies and beneficiaries that isolated transaction rules would miss.

Clients and markets The target segment is tier-1 banks, with HSBC, BNY Mellon and Standard Chartered named, as well as government bodies and telecom operators. Geography: the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia and Singapore.

Licensing model Quantexa sells enterprise licences, so deployments are project-based. Smaller payment firms should check whether the platform scale and data-integration effort suit their needs.
