Napier, which works with financial organisations worldwide to provide an AI-led platform for intelligent AML & trade compliance, doubled its annual revenue last year, adding a significant number of new clients to its platform globally.

It continues to grow an impressive roster of clients in APAC, recently announcing significant deals with Australia Post and a number of other major financial institutions.

Napier was also recently recognised with a prestigious award win for Best AML/CTF Solution in the Regulation Asia Awards for Excellence 2020.
