Velocity recognized among 100 leading global companies applying AI to modernize AML, fraud, and financial crime risk management. 

June 17, 2026  

Velocity, the AI-powered financial crime management platform, has been named to the AIFinTech100 by FinTech Global  Now in its sixth year, the annual list recognizes the 100 companies using artificial intelligence to reshape financial services, spanning banking, payments, insurance, customer experience, fraud prevention, and risk management. https://fintech.global/2026/06/17/sixth-annual-aifintech100-recognises-the-firms-redefining-ai-innovation-in-financial-services/  

This year’s list was selected by a panel of industry experts and analysts who assessed more than 2,000 companies against FinTech Global’s research and evaluation framework, judging each on the strength of its technology, its pace of innovation, and the difference it makes for the institutions that use it.  

FinTech Global noted that AI in financial services has crossed from pilots and proof-of-concept into everyday operational use, with this year’s cohort reflecting that shift toward AI that delivers reliably in real-world conditions. 

“An AI list is the one we wanted to be on,” said Vineet Mishra, CIO & Chief Product Officer at Velocity FSS. “We never treated AI as a bolt-on. It does the real work now: the investigating, the screening, the risk scoring that analysts used to grind through by hand. Recognition from FinTech Global tells us we’ve been building it the right way.” 

“The goal is still the same,” he added. “Give compliance, fraud, and risk teams back their time, and help them make better decisions. What’s new is how much of the hard work AI can take off their plate now, and the teams using Velocity feel it every day.” 

Most of Velocity’s effort this past year went into its Next-Gen AI layer.  

The AI Investigator https://velocityfss.com/velocity-iinvestigate/  writes up an alert the way an experienced analyst would, in a clean, audit-ready summary, so the analyst can spend the time judging the case instead of assembling the file.  

A new holistic risk view pulls KYC, transaction monitoring,  https://velocityfss.com/aml-transaction-monitoring/  and fraud signals  https://velocityfss.com/velocity-fraud-suite/ into one read on a customer rather than four scattered ones. Agentic AI does its own digging, following the links between accounts, transactions, and alerts that a person might take hours to trace. And screening runs on a sharper engine that pairs AI-driven sanctions and PEP checks with adverse media that never goes quiet. 

All of that sits on the parts of the platform institutions lean on daily: transaction monitoring, sanctions and list screening, https://velocityfss.com/sanctions-list-screening/  onboarding and due diligence https://velocityfss.com/customer-due-diligence-risk-rating/  ,  case management,  https://velocityfss.com/case-management-regulatory-reporting/ and real-time fraud prevention.  

Each is built to run on rules, AI, or a mix of both, so a team can take on the AI at its own pace without tearing down what already works.  

 Quietly underneath, Velocity’s data tools clean up the half-complete, inconsistent records that quietly wreck most screening, using machine learning to resolve entities and country data so an alert rests on something trustworthy. 

Velocity works with financial institutions across several continents, from retail and correspondent banks to payments firms, fintechs, and insurers.
