Feedzai & Neterium partner to strengthen financial crime controls

By Vriti Gothi

Feedzai has partnered with Neterium to deliver an integrated customer and transaction screening solution aimed at strengthening real-time financial crime prevention.

The collaboration enhances Feedzai’s watchlist screening capabilities by embedding Neterium’s recently launched transaction screening technology into its broader financial crime prevention platform. The combined offering is designed to provide financial institutions with a consolidated view of compliance risk, spanning sanctions, watchlists, and transaction monitoring within a single architecture.

The move comes as banks and payment providers face mounting regulatory scrutiny and increasing transaction volumes, particularly in the instant payments environment. Institutions are under pressure to reduce false positives, streamline compliance operations, and demonstrate audit-ready controls while maintaining low-latency processing.

By integrating Neterium’s cloud-native screening infrastructure into Feedzai’s AI-driven RiskOps platform, the companies aim to reduce the need for multiple point solutions and complex integrations. The joint solution is positioned as a unified anti-money laundering (AML) and screening framework, offering real-time data updates, algorithmic name matching, and explainable decisioning.

“Banks and other financial institutions are telling us that they want fewer integrations, faster deployments, and full insight into all of their compliance activities,” said Pedro Barata, chief product officer at Feedzai. “Partnering with Neterium gives us precisely that: a single platform that lets our clients fully avoid financial crime without having to deal with various systems.”

The platform supports API-based deployment, enabling real-time processing for high-volume payment environments. According to the companies, AI-driven matching is intended to lower false positives, allowing compliance teams to prioritise higher-risk alerts and reduce operational overhead. Automated updates to global sanctions and watchlists are also embedded to ensure screening accuracy and regulatory alignment.

The integration reflects a broader industry trend toward platform consolidation in financial crime technology. As institutions seek to unify fraud, AML, and sanctions screening under shared data and analytics layers, vendors are increasingly pursuing partnerships to deliver end-to-end capabilities rather than standalone tools.

Feedzai’s Watchlist Screening solution is now available with integrated transaction screening functionality, targeting banks and financial institutions seeking real-time, scalable compliance infrastructure.
