NOW Money Selects ThetaRay AI Tech to Prevent Financial Crime

NOW Money, a Dubai-based mobile banking system that works with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) as a payroll service, and ThetaRay, a provider of AI-powered transaction monitoring technology, announced a collaboration to implement ThetaRay’s cloud-based Anti-Money Laundering (AML) solution to monitor cross-border payments and support the prevention of financial crimes and money laundering on the fintech’s payments platform. The new partnership, according to the company, is essential as the number of overbroad money transfers continues to grow.

NOW Money selected ThetaRay’s solution to stay a step ahead of financial crime by uncovering both known and unknown money-laundering crimes, as well as preventing attempts to violate sanctions in real time.

“There is a huge opportunity in the Gulf to provide mobile banking services and financial education to millions of people who are unbanked or underserved,” said Noel Connolly, CEO of NOW Money. “ThetaRay’s AI technology using advanced machine learning will enable NOW Money to process unlimited volumes of transactions, expand business into high-risk areas, and gain the trust of financial partners and regulators worldwide.”
