SymphonyAI Expands Enterprise AI Financial Vertical Strategy Through Acquisition of NetReveal Financial Crime Detection Business from BAE Systems

SymphonyAI, a leader in high-value enterprise AI SaaS for strategic industries, announced it is acquiring financial crime detection leader NetReveal from BAE Systems. This acquisition marks a significant step in SymphonyAI’s expansion strategy within the financial vertical.

Today’s banking regulatory landscape demands institutions effectively address financial crime, fraud, sanctions screening, internal malfeasance, and growing cryptocurrency risk. NetReveal efficiently protects against financial crime, ensures regulatory compliance, and reduces risk for 200 of the world’s leading financial services institutions. The financial services sector is a significant industry vertical for SymphonyAI. The company developed and launched the Symphony AyasdiAI Sensa platform in late 2021, bringing AI-based analytics and insights to financial crime detection. As part of SymphonyAI’s financial vertical, NetReveal will use Sensa AI technology to deliver transformative innovations and powerful new products that better uncover anomalous activity, reduce false positives, and control costs.

“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.”
