The integration of Cactus Oasis gives our clients more flexibility in managing liquidity without compromising asset protection."

It holds SOC 1 Type 1 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications from Deloitte and is licensed as a Hong Kong Trust Company and Trust or Company Service Provider (TCSP) under the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, meeting the compliance standards of leading financial institutions.

Nasdaq Verafin Announces Launch of its Agentic AI Workforce, Delivering a Step Change in AML Compliance Efficiency
NEW YORK, July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nasdaq Verafin today announced the launch of the Agentic AI Workforce, a suite of digital workers that will deliver a step change in the way banks conduct anti-money laundering (AML) compliance by automating low-value, high-volume compliance processes. Building on the successful adoption of its GenAI Entity Research Copilot, Nasdaq Verafin's Agentic AI Workforce is made up of digital workers that can be deployed by banks to execute complex tasks, including decisioning, with minimal supervision. According to Nasdaq Verafin's Global Financial Crime Report, a survey of more than 200 industry professionals found that 75% of respondents had increased their investment in headcount over the prior year to improve financial crime prevention efforts. However, despite increased investment in headcount, nearly half of respondents reported a lack of adequate resources and technology to fight financial crime. With the ability to independently analyze, document, and decision end-to-end processes, the digital workers enable banks to reallocate resources to more sophisticated investigations and outcomes-focused activities. 'In today's operating environment, banks are tasked with navigating a growing number of compliance challenges from evolving regulatory requirements to the shortcomings of legacy technology and impact of resource constraints on compliance teams," said Rob Norris, SVP and Head of Product, Nasdaq Verafin. 'Our Agentic AI Workforce will transform the way banks of all sizes approach AML compliance, delivering a step change in efficiency gains that allows compliance teams to shift efforts and focus on the important work of tackling serious financial crimes such as human trafficking, drug trafficking, and other facets of organized crime.' The first of the digital workers will focus on two of the most resource-intensive areas of compliance – Sanctions Screening and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) reviews. Currently in beta, the first digital workers are expected to be available to Nasdaq Verafin clients later this year. The Digital Sanctions Analyst will aid Sanctions Screening by dispositioning, documenting, and actioning false positive alerts, while escalating true matches for further review by bank investigators. Sanctions compliance is a complex and costly problem for financial institutions, with compliance failures leading to civil penalties and reputational damage. Further, legacy approaches to Sanctions Screening can hamper compliance teams with an overwhelming number of false positive alerts. Initial results show that Nasdaq Verafin's Digital Sanctions Analyst reduces a bank's alert review workload by more than 80%. The Digital EDD Analyst will automate a bank's periodic EDD review process, actioning low-risk cases that do not require further investigation, offering significant efficiency gains for banks. Meeting regulatory requirements for conducting EDD reviews of high-risk customers is a growing challenge for financial institutions, as reviews at most institutions rely on time-consuming manual processes. The Digital EDD Analyst will allow financial institutions to streamline their risk review process, delivering a step change in efficiency and significantly reducing operational expenses. The launch of the Agentic AI Workforce represents the latest evolution of Nasdaq Verafin's industry-leading financial crime management solutions, following the successful rollout of the GenAI Entity Research copilot. Since releasing the Entity Research Copilot into Nasdaq Verafin's case management module in the second quarter of 2025, clients have leveraged this feature in tens of thousands of cases to help streamline and expedite investigations and documentation. In all, more than 1,300 clients have benefited from Nasdaq Verafin's integrated GenAI copilot capabilities across its platform since launch. "The financial services industry is grappling with mounting pressure to enhance operational efficiency while maintaining robust compliance operations amid increasingly sophisticated threats,' said Chuck Subrt, the Fraud & AML Practice Director at Datos Insights. 'We are witnessing a transformative shift as institutions seek to automate resource-intensive workflows that traditionally consume the vast majority of analysts' time on data collection and processing. Digital workforce solutions like Nasdaq Verafin's Agentic AI Workforce flip the investigator time equation to enable human experts to focus on high-value decision-making and critical analysis." Please visit to learn more about Nasdaq Verafin's Agentic AI Workforce. About Nasdaq Verafin Nasdaq Verafin provides Financial Crime Management Technology solutions for Fraud Detection and Management, AML/CFT Compliance and Management, High-Risk Customer Management, Sanctions Screening and Management, and Information Sharing.

Trouble in Paradise? Consumers Don't Trust Travel Industry to Protect Them From AI-Powered Fraud
Article content New research from Jumio reveals nearly half of global consumers lack confidence in travel industry's ability to protect against identity fraud Article content SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Jumio, the leader in AI-powered identity intelligence anchored in biometric authentication, automation and data-driven insights, today released new findings from its 2025 Online Identity Study. As consumers worldwide set out for summer leisure, digital identity protection may be taking a more prominent spot on the packing checklist, with nearly half of global consumers (44%) lacking confidence in the travel industry's ability to protect them from AI-powered fraud including identity theft and account takeover fraud. This lack of confidence jumped to 55% for Americans. Article content For the sharing economy (including vacation rentals and other travel-focused gig economy services), confidence falls even further, with 60% in the U.S. and 50% globally saying they don't feel adequately protected. Article content Consumers share sensitive personal data in exchange for a simple vacation, notably turning over government-issued IDs like passports and drivers' licenses in order to book and check into flights, reserve accommodations and rental cars, and more. This exchange of data makes consumers vulnerable to fraud during the summer travel season — and they recognize the risk. Article content These sentiments trend alongside broader global distrust in digital spaces, with 69% of respondents saying AI-powered fraud now poses a greater threat to personal security than traditional forms of identity theft. Article content In response to this distrust, consumers worldwide are slightly more willing to invest more time in identity verification on these platforms than in 2024: Article content In 2025, 74% of global consumers said they would willingly spend more time on identity verification when accessing travel and hospitality-related platforms if it improved their security — up from 71% in 2024. Global willingness to spend time verifying identity on sharing economy platforms also stayed high at 70% in 2025, only slightly down from 71% in 2024, but with a subtle shift from 'a lot more time' to 'a little more time.' This suggests increased caution, with a remaining preference for low-friction, visible safeguards. Article content Consumers' increasing willingness to spend time on identity verification for travel-related transactions follows a growing trend in traditionally higher-risk industries. For instance, 80% of consumers globally were willing to spend more time on security for digital platforms supporting banking and financial services. Article content 'Whether it's an evacuation plan or a safe in every hotel room, the travel and hospitality industry know how to build the structures and processes customers need to feel safe. Now customers expect the same level of care for their personal data,' explained Bala Kumar, chief product and technology officer at Jumio. 'But travel and hospitality businesses can't keep layering traditional protections on already complex processes — they need new solutions and technologies to balance convenience with protection, even as AI-powered scams evolve.' Article content Find additional data and insights here. Article content About the Research Article content The Jumio 2025 Online Identity Study surveyed 8,001 adult consumers evenly distributed across the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and Mexico. Censuswide fielded the survey between April 9 and April 24, 2025. Censuswide abides by and employs members of the Market Research Society which is based on the ESOMAR principles and are members of The British Polling Council.
