Clari5

Clari5 sells a real time platform that brings enterprise fraud management, anti money laundering, compliance and investigations together for banks. It is deployed at 60 banks in 30 countries, processes more than 10 billion transactions across more than a billion accounts, and runs on IBM LinuxONE, IBM Power10 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Fraud products cover cross channel and core banking transaction monitoring, online banking, payment card and employee fraud, with machine learning scoring models packaged by channel and product. Digital TrustArmour joins transaction monitoring, device intelligence and behavioral biometrics into one risk profile per customer against authorized push payment fraud, mule accounts and account takeover. Anti money laundering covers watch list filtering with real time blocking, customer due diligence and regulatory reporting built to the goAML standard of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.

Clari5 Genie adds generative and agentic AI to investigations: it summarizes alerts and transaction history, explains in plain language why an alert fired, finds transactions that resemble past fraud and answers questions about fraud data without a query language, which Clari5 says cuts investigation time by up to 70 percent. Maestro transcribes and scores every recorded customer call for fraud signals and compliance in English and 11 Indian languages, on a bank's premises or as a managed service, and Graph Intelligence maps links between customers, accounts and transactions. In India, its cybercrime complaint solution automates complaints from the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal, from account identification to lien marking, at Punjab National Bank among others. Customers named include Khan Bank, XacBank, Mashreq Bank and Ujjivan Small Finance Bank. Clari5 was acquired by Perfios and is still sold under its own name.

Assessment

Capability Axes

Capability grades

15 of 15 axes rated · 8 graded A or B

AI Capability
AI Centrality
BB on AI CentralityThe models are the engine of a core capability, layered on a product that would still function without them as a rules or workflow system.
Vendor Published

Machine learning models packaged by channel and product score transactions in real time, and Genie layers generative and agentic AI over investigations. Rules, scenarios and case management would still run without them, so the models power the detection rather than being the whole product.

Autonomy and Oversight Model
BB on Autonomy and Oversight ModelA written commitment that the models work alongside human judgment, with real review surfaces, short of the full control structure: commonly the threshold at which the system stops or what happens after it is wrong.
Vendor Published

The thresholds that trigger a hold are not published. In core banking, suspicious transactions are stopped or held before they advance and a case is created for the fraud investigation team, watch list hits can block a transaction while an alert is raised, and regulatory reports can be viewed and modified in a principal officer workbench before submission. One path runs without people: the cybercrime complaint solution identifies accounts and marks liens from portal complaints with no manual intervention.

Model Risk Management and Transparency
BB on Model Risk Management and TransparencyReal transparency mechanisms are published, such as per alert explainability, confidence scoring or split testing, without the validation package or supervisory mapping behind them.
Vendor Published

Validation reports, accuracy figures and a mapping to model risk guidance are not published. Genie explains in plain language why an alert was triggered, and real time decisions are described as explainable and traceable, with layered event enrichment to cut false positives.

Operational and Outcome Evidence
BB on Operational and Outcome EvidenceVendor aggregate claims with real figures, or audited scale disclosures from a publicly listed company.
Vendor Published

Khan Bank, XacBank, Punjab National Bank, Mashreq Bank, Ujjivan Small Finance Bank, dfcu Bank and Fino Payments Bank are named deployments. Figures stay at the platform or product level and attach to no named bank: more than 10 billion transactions and a billion accounts, investigations up to 70 percent faster with Genie, and manual case closure time cut 80 percent with Maestro.

AI Safety and Data Stewardship
CC on AI Safety and Data StewardshipGeneral assurances that do not answer the question this axis asks, which is whether one customer’s data trains models serving its competitors. Unbounded cross client learning stated with no boundary grades here too.
Vendor Published

Pattern intelligence is drawn from cross institutional analysis, which means one bank's experience shapes what another bank's models see, with no stated boundary on what is shared or how it is anonymized. Training and retention terms for Genie's inputs go unstated.

Regulatory and Compliance
GLBA and Data Privacy Posture
CC on GLBA and Data Privacy PostureA standard privacy policy that covers the website rather than the service, or silence on a product that touches limited consumer data.
Vendor Published

Data handling terms for the transaction and customer records banks run through the platform are not set out in its product material. The privacy statement attached to its contact forms covers enquiries rather than bank data.

Security Certifications and Trust Center
CC on Security Certifications and Trust CenterA single footer line, or certifications asserted without being enumerated, which is weaker than naming them because it invites an assumption a buyer cannot check.
Vendor Published

Security certifications, audit reports and a trust center for the platform are not published. Maestro redacts personal data before analysis, encrypts with 256 bit keys and keeps all call data inside the bank's infrastructure.

Regulatory Status and Licensure
AA on Regulatory Status and LicensureThe regulatory position is stated and a formal admission process stands behind it: a register entry, an eCBSV enrollment, a payment network partner admission, or presence inside SAR or CTR filing paths.
Vendor Published

Clari5 sits inside regulatory filing paths: its goAML module generates suspicious transaction and currency transaction reports in the standard of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, tracks submissions and uploads acknowledgements from financial intelligence units, and dfcu Bank in Uganda runs its goAML reporting on it.

AI Governance and Bias Disclosure
CC on AI Governance and Bias DisclosureResponsible artificial intelligence committed to in policy language with no evaluation behind it, on a product whose bias surface is modest.
Vendor Published

Fairness or bias testing of the scoring models and of Genie is not published. Decisions are described as explainable and traceable, a transparency commitment rather than a measure of who gets flagged, on a product whose behavioral biometrics and customer scoring touch every account holder.

AI Liability and Recourse
CC on AI Liability and RecourseMechanisms that enable challenge, such as audit trails and source traceability, with nothing standing behind the output and no route for the person affected.
Vendor Published

A guarantee, indemnity or correction route behind a decision is absent. What exists is traceability: decisions are described as explainable and traceable, and held transactions become cases a bank's investigators can review and release.

Integration and Deployment
Model Supply Chain Disclosure
CC on Model Supply Chain DisclosureThe architecture is described and no provider is named.
Vendor Published

The language models behind Genie, Maestro's speech to text and any managed service host go unnamed. Detection models are Clari5's own, packaged by channel and product, Genie is built natively on the Clari5 platform, and Maestro runs an eight stage AI pipeline inside the bank.

Core Systems and Integration Depth
BB on Core Systems and Integration DepthNamed systems or a documented public API, with the depth or the production evidence left open.
Vendor Published

Specific core banking products are not named. Monitoring runs inside core banking, employee fraud tools integrate core banking, customer relationship management and human resources systems, regulatory reporting follows the goAML format used by financial intelligence units, and the cybercrime complaint solution connects to India's National Cybercrime Reporting Portal. The platform is offered on IBM LinuxONE and Power10 and on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and JBoss.

Deployment Model and Data Residency
AA on Deployment Model and Data ResidencyOn premise or hybrid deployment is offered and documented, alongside where data rests.
Vendor Published

Residency terms for managed services are not stated, which matters for banks across 30 countries with their own rules. Maestro runs on a bank's premises with no data leaving its infrastructure, or as a managed service, and the main platform runs on bank infrastructure such as IBM LinuxONE, Linux on IBM zSystems, IBM Power10 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Commercial
Commercial Transparency
CC on Commercial TransparencyNo price is published and engagement runs through a demo form, which is the norm in this index.
Vendor Published

Engagement runs through a demo request. Price, tiers and the unit of charge for the fraud, anti money laundering and Genie products are unpublished, so cost becomes known only in a sales conversation.

Institution and Segment Coverage
AA on Institution and Segment CoverageThe financial segments served are named and each carries its own maintained material, whether the coverage is broad or deliberately narrow.
Vendor Published

Banks are the core buyers, and insurers and payments businesses each get their own products: anti money laundering for insurance, and payment card fraud management for issuers, processors and acquirers. Named deployments run from Mongolia and India to Uganda, with market material written for Nigeria, Kenya, Indonesia and Egypt.

Head to Head

Compared With

Most editorial comparisons pair two vendors the index assesses as direct competitors for the same buyer. Some pair vendors that are adjacent rather than rival, where the useful question is where one ends and the other begins. Each carries a verdict, the buyer conditions that favor each vendor, and a graded side by side.
