Flagright's answer

Flagright co-founder and CEO Baran Özkan worked at a FinTech as a director of product, where he was responsible for financial crime prevention.

During his time in the job, he spent 15 months testing transaction monitoring providers, only to find products that didn’t meet the company’s needs.Throughout the evaluation period, several providers lied about what they could do, some of them simply wasn’t capable, some of them had bad developer experience, some of them had bad UX, and some of them quoted astronomical amounts like we were a bank.

Due to this, Baran validated the problem that FinTechs were underserved with anti-financial crime tooling, with existing providers either outdated or only wanting to tailor to large banks. This led to quitting his job and chasing this problem to arm fintechs with the next generation anti-fincrime software, and eventually, Flagright.

SHIELD's answer:

Most fraud solutions are web-first and rely heavily on personal data and static identifiers that are easily bypassed. They are also often focused on addressing fraud at specific checkpoints. SHIELD is device-first. Fraudsters can spoof data, accounts, and even identities, but they always need a device to act. This is why we stop fraud at the root.

Flagright's answer

Choosing Flagright comes down to three words: speed, precision and simplicity. Because the platform was designed from the ground up around specialised AI agents rather than retro-fitting machine-learning into a legacy rules engine, it consistently outperforms the better-known incumbents on the numbers that matter. In production deployments Flagright’s AI Forensics cuts screening false-positive alerts by 93 percent and shaves 80 percent off compliance-operations costs, figures that comfortably beat ComplyAdvantage’s “up to 70 percent” reduction claim and the 14–15 percent residual false-positive rate many Unit21 customers still report. That extra precision is delivered in real time—the underlying API answers in well under a second—so analysts spend almost no time triaging noise and can focus on genuine risk.

Time-to-value is another differentiator. Flagright’s API-first, no-code architecture lets fintechs and banks go live in five to seven days, and case studies show complex PSPs such as Sciopay completing full roll-outs with 99.998 percent uptime inside a fortnight; even the fastest Unit21 integrations are “under two weeks”, while older suites often take months. That speed matters when a new product launch or licence application hinges on demonstrable AML controls.

Flagright also collapses what are usually four or five separate tools—transaction-monitoring, sanctions screening, risk scoring, case management and SAR narrative generation—into a single console. Its GPT-powered SAR and alert-narrative generator drafts regulator-ready reports in seconds, an automation many rivals still treat as a roadmap item. Because everything is native to one platform, rule changes propagate instantly and investigators never have to shuttle data between systems, which is where errors and audit gaps typically creep in.

Put together—AI accuracy that meaningfully surpasses peers, the fastest path to production, an all-in-one toolset and transparent economics—Flagright gives compliance teams the rare combination of better risk coverage and lower total cost, which is why more than fifty financial-services firms across six continents now use it as their primary AML backbone.
