RegTech Analyst and Parker & Lawrence Research feature Velocity among the platforms shaping the future of integrated fraud and AML defense.

May 13, 2026

Velocity FSS, the cloud-based AI-powered financial crime management platform, has been named a leader in Fraud Prevention & FRAML in the 2026 Global State of RegTech Report, released today by RegTech Analyst and Parker & Lawrence Research.

The annual report maps the most active and innovative players across the global RegTech landscape, providing a definitive view of where the market is heading, and is widely referenced by compliance leaders, investors, and analysts tracking the space.

The report’s deep dive on Velocity highlights the platform’s integrated approach to fraud and AML, a category that has emerged as one of the most important shifts in financial crime defense, as institutions move away from siloed systems toward unified FRAML operations.

“Being featured in this report, and specifically within the Fraud Prevention & FRAML category, matters a lot and reflects where the industry is genuinely heading,” said Vineet Mishra, Chief Product Officer at Velocity. “Fraud and AML have stopped being separate problems. The institutions defending against financial crime know it. The criminals exploiting the gap between them definitely know it. Velocity has been built for that convergence from day one, and it’s gratifying to see that work recognized.”

Founded in 2018 and built by practitioners who’d lived inside the systems they set out to replace, Velocity serves financial institutions across the US, UK, Europe, and Australia, with particular strength among community banks, credit unions, fintechs, MSB-servicing banks, and bankers’ banks. The platform combines AML and fraud capabilities into one modular environment, sitting on top of a proprietary data layer that addresses the fragmented, inconsistent data that quietly undermines most compliance programs.

Among the capabilities the report highlights:

• End-to-end fraud defense spanning prevention, detection, monitoring, rule tuning, and sandbox testing, with screening applied at onboarding and at every leg of a transaction, and detection models tuned to each institution’s own historical data.
• Data remediation built into the platform, including entity resolution, country-risk scoring updated quarterly across the world’s jurisdictions, and entity-linkage context that strengthens monitoring across the suite.
• AI-assisted investigation through Velocity’s AI Investigator, which uses retrieval-augmented generation to pull together case context and supporting evidence at speed, while keeping analysts in control of every decision.
• Unified workflow management across AML and fraud, with a single layer for alert triage, escalation, oversight, and reporting, supported by integrated dashboards and analytics.
• A broader orchestration approach, connecting Velocity with core banking systems and specialist data partners including CLEAR, LNRS, and Signzy, designed to sit at the center of a modern compliance stack rather than replace pieces of it.

The report also features a Velocity client case study: a US-based correspondent bank operating under a regulatory consent order, with a 350+ respondent bank network and a ticking remediation clock. After rolling out Velocity’s integrated FRAML platform across transaction monitoring, KYC and risk rating, case management, and SAR reporting, the bank delivered a 200% increase in AML program efficiency, materially reduced false positives, and exited the consent order within the required timeline.
