FinCrimeTech50

The world’s leading tech companies fighting money laundering, fraud and financial crime in financial services

About the List

The FinCrimeTech50 is an annual list of 50 of the world’s most innovative tech companies offering solutions in financial crime and fraud prevention. These are the companies every financial institution needs to know about as they consider and develop their financial crime risk management strategies.

The previous FinCrime50 lists received widespread attention. Companies that won places on them generated huge awareness among financial institutions and the wider financial crime community. Many were approached directly by banks and other financial services organisations, while other got a more welcome reception from prospective clients and partners.

Following the success of the previous lists, the selection process for the FinCrimeTech50 for 2026 is now open. The list will help senior executives and compliance professionals evaluate which solutions have market potential and are most likely to have an impact in the fight against fraudsters and financial criminals.
