What We Do
At ThetaRay, we believe that banks no longer have to de-risk when they can expand their cross-border ecosystem safely. ThetaRay is the developer of SONAR, a groundbreaking, AI-powered, transaction-monitoring SaaS solution for cross-border payments that allows banks to expand their business opportunities by achieving safe and reliable cross-border payment monitorisation. ThetaRay's technology is the only packaged SaaS offering that analyzes SWIFT traffic, risk indicators, and client/payer/payee data to detect anomalies indicating money laundering activity across complex, cross-border transaction paths. It is also one of the only AI-driven AML solutions that can be easily integrated and deployed within days, with minimal implementation required. ThetaRay's solution increases detection capabilities for both supervised and unsupervised data and includes profiling and advanced analytics assessments, all in one platform. Financial organizations that rely on highly heterogeneous and complex ecosystems benefit greatly from ThetaRay's unmatchable low false-positive rates.
