Who We Are

Quantifind is the Risk Intelligence company. We help some of the world’s biggest banks identify money laundering and fraud. Quantifind also works with government agencies, using the same platform, to uncover criminal networks and support national security. Unlike other players in this space, Quantifind delivers results through an AI-driven software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution with consumer-grade user experiences.

Quantifind’s Graphyte platform uncovers signals of risk across disparate and unstructured text sources using artificial intelligence and natural language processing techniques. In financial crimes risk management, Quantifind’s solution uniquely combines internal financial institution data with public domain data to assess risk in the context of Know Your Customer (KYC), Customer Due Diligence (CDD), Fraud Risk Management, and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) processes. Today these compliance processes are burdened by ever-increasing regulatory responsibilities and an expectation of frictionless transactions. Legacy technologies demand increasingly more human resources as the operations expand; Quantifind’s solution offers a way to cut through the inefficiency and enhance effectiveness simultaneously. Demand for this solution is fueling our rapid growth.

To help you succeed, we provide a supportive environment that fosters collaboration between teams and team members, where learning and professional growth are considered a key part of your success, and of ours. We offer a flexible work environment with a family friendly work-life balance.
