NICE Actimize is the largest and broadest provider of financial crime, risk and compliance solutions for regional and global financial institutions, as well as government regulators. NICE Actimize has been working closely with leading banks in Thailand and Asia Pacific to develop and execute enterprise-wide anti-money laundering, fraud prevention and compliance programs, empowering them to transit from a manual monitoring infrastructure to real-time monitoring capabilities.

The company says its business expansion plan aligns with the Thai government’s on-going effort to combat money laundering, as well as the increased prevalence of fraud and cybercrimes. The company provides real-time authentication, cross-channel fraud prevention, anti-money laundering (AML) detection, and trading surveillance solutions that address concerns such as sanctions monitoring, rates rigging, market abuse, customer due diligence and insider trading.

In Thailand, NICE Systems is actively serving the top 10 global banks and the Top 5 local banks. These banks standardize on NICE as regional technology partner for AML, Fraud, Analytics, Multi-channel capture & recording, Real-Time Authentication & Fraud Prevention.

As recent investigations at major international financial institutions have shown, banking regulators are demanding for more well-developed AML, insider trading and fraud prevention programs and controls in place at financial institutions. Leading banking and financial institutions are now actively pursuing an enterprise approach to AML, compliance in the light of regulatory demands for stricter supervision and heavy fines.“Thai banks are taking strong actions against money laundering, amidst a stricter regulatory environment and increased global scrutiny. Likewise there is an increasing prevalence of fraud and onslaught of cybercrime. NICE Actimize is partnering with Thai banks by bringing the best practices and global experience from implementing a large proportion of AML, integrated fraud management and trading surveillance implementations in the world’s largest banks”, said Mr. Amir Orad, President and CEO of NICE Actimize.

“As countries in the region move towards forming the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015, NICE Actimize plays an important role in helping financial institutions meet the international and domestic compliance requirements between ASEAN member countries. Amidst the increasing number of financial transactions across jurisdictions, NICE Actimize enables regional financial institutions to promote transparency and implement meaningful controls to guard against cross-border money laundering, market abuse and fraud,” said Mr. Raghav Sahgal, President, NICE Asia Pacific.

“In Thailand, we are seeing a great demand for technologies that offer accurate detection across a higher volume of transactions. We have an unrivalled advantage through the use of advanced analytics and real-time technologies that will enable firms in Thailand to automate, streamline and drive down the costs while ensuring a positive customer experience.” said Sherie Ng, Managing Director of NICE South East Asia.
