NEW YORK, April 24, 2026 – ComplyAdvantage, the leader in financial crime intelligence, announced its recognition in Forrester’s new market-defining report: The Financial Crime Management Solutions Landscape, Q1 2026.
This inaugural report from Forrester establishes the new, unified category of Financial Crime Management Solutions (FCMS), officially merging the two previously separate categories of anti-money laundering (AML) and enterprise fraud management (EFM). The report provides an essential overview of more than 40 providers for risk, compliance, and security professionals. Its publication emphasizes the importance of utilizing platforms in the industry. Being named in this foundational research validates ComplyAdvantage’s strategic focus on delivering a truly unified view of risk.
“Forrester’s latest research acknowledges our core belief that a modern approach to financial crime compliance – one that replaces siloed systems with a single source of truth, and manual processes with intelligent automation – is the only way forward in an era of increasing regulatory scrutiny. This reinforces our strategic bet on a unified platform, powered by proprietary data and transformative AI, as our focus has always been on enabling our customers to make intelligent, explainable risk decisions. This recognition by Forrester proves that our vision for a consolidated, AI-driven compliance solution has become the standard for today’s market.”

Leading the market with a unified, AI-native platform
The Forrester report analyzes key market dynamics, including the convergence of fraud and AML processes and the growing role of AI-assisted workflows, trends at the core of ComplyAdvantage’s offering, and its AI-native platform, Mesh. This market-leading platform is engineered to streamline compliance by:
- Unifying a view of risk across all apps: Integrating solutions for Customer Screening, Ongoing Monitoring, Payment Screening, and Transaction Monitoring into a single, cohesive environment to break down data and operational silos.
- Storing and connecting risk data to build a unified picture of risk: Our proprietary, connected graph architecture goes beyond simple name-against-list screening by detecting and modeling the complexity of real-world risk: entities with multiple names, organizations with layered ownership structures, PEPs with family relationships, and adverse media spanning dozens of sources and languages.
- Augmenting human expertise with agentic AI: Leveraging agentic AI trained on a massive volume of real-world data and compliance decisions designed to work faster and more efficiently than a human analyst. Our models are trained to think like a human and perform at scale, speed, and consistency that humans alone cannot achieve – eliminating fatigue and ensuring that true positive cases are never missed.
