Napier

Napier is a London-based provider of intelligent anti-money laundering (AML) and financial crime compliance software solutions. The company's flagship product, Napier Continuum, is an AI-enhanced platform designed to help financial institutions combat money laundering, detect suspicious transactions, screen potential customers, and predict customer behavior.

Napier Continuum leverages artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced analytics to automate pattern identification, risk assessment, and decision-making processes. It offers a suite of products, including Perpetual Client Risk Assessment (p)CRA for continuous risk monitoring across the customer lifecycle, Transaction Monitoring for identifying suspicious activities, and Screening tools for customer due diligence.

The platform is highly scalable, flexible, and configurable, allowing organizations to deploy it as an end-to-end solution, point solution, or as an aggregation layer to complement existing systems. It can be deployed on-premise or as a cloud-based, fully managed SaaS offering. As of February 2024, Napier offered over 150 institutional clients worldwide access to its next-generation screening and monitoring capabilities through two new service offerings, Napier Continuum Live and Napier Continuum Flow.
