Scintilla adopts Flagright’s AI platform for AML

Flagright

Scintilla has partnered with Flagright, an AI-native no-code platform specialising in transaction monitoring and AML compliance.

The partnership aims to enhance Scintilla’s ability to monitor and manage financial crime risks in real time across its operations.

The collaboration seeks to strengthen Scintilla’s AML and counter-terrorist financing (CFT) framework through advanced automation and AI-powered analytics. By deploying Flagright’s real-time transaction monitoring, customer and counterparty risk scoring, and case management solutions, Scintilla will unify detection and investigation processes across its tokenisation, over-the-counter (OTC) conversions, and exchange activities.

Flagright provides an AI-driven compliance platform designed to help FinTechs and financial institutions combat financial crime at scale. Its no-code architecture enables compliance teams to build and deploy complex typologies, manage cases, and generate audit trails rapidly. Meanwhile, Scintilla offers tokenisation services, OTC and broker/dealer remittance capabilities, and secondary trading exchange operations in the UAE, aligning its technology infrastructure with strict regulatory expectations set by VARA.

Through the partnership, Scintilla will leverage Flagright’s suite of AML tools to detect risks before they escalate, dynamically adjust risk scores, and produce regulator-ready evidence on demand. This move reflects Scintilla’s focus on regulatory discipline and operational transparency, positioning the company as a leading compliant player in the UAE’s growing virtual-asset ecosystem.

“Our business is built on trust, regulation, and execution,” said Scintilla CEO Tim Popplewell. “We chose Flagright because it gave us speed without sacrificing rigor. In a matter of weeks we can configure typologies for tokenization flows, OTC conversions, and exchange activity, monitor risk in real time, and document every decision end-to-end. That combination of agility and auditability is exactly what a regulated market participant in the UAE needs.”

“Regulatory clarity and operational discipline are non-negotiable for us,” added Scintilla chief compliance officer Janey Schueller. “Flagright lets our compliance team own the rulebook with which we can the risk score counterparties dynamically, triage alerts intelligently, reconstruct complex transaction trails with AI forensics, and produce regulator-ready evidence on demand. It elevates our risk-based approach while keeping operations efficient.”

“Scintilla is building a best-in-class, fully licensed venue in one of the world’s most forward-thinking jurisdictions,” said Flagright co-founder and CEO Baran Ozkan. “We’re excited to help them safeguard every transaction with a modern, configurable platform that goes live fast and scales with their growth.”
