Facctum

Facctum sells a cloud native screening platform for financial crime compliance to banks, payment companies, fintechs, crypto exchanges, wealth managers and other regulated firms. Five modules run on one platform: watchlist management, customer screening, payment and transaction screening, transaction monitoring and know your business checks, with alert adjudication on top.

Watchlist management pulls regulatory, commercial and internal lists into one store, reconciles and deduplicates them, and pushes sanctions updates from regulators to the screening engines within five minutes; clients manage more than 5 million watchlist records on it. Customer and payment screening return potential matches in under 80 milliseconds on average, with an explanation for each match from attribute weighted scoring, and payment screening handles more than 20 message formats. AI sits in three places: alert adjudication, which scores and resolves alerts and reapplies earlier decisions, AI auto tuning of screening profiles, and models that turn unstructured sources such as press releases into screenable profiles. Facctum says the platform cuts false positives and manual review by up to 70 percent.

Facctum Solutions Limited was founded in 2021, is registered in London and has more than 100 staff across five locations. The platform runs in more than 30 cloud regions and carries ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018 certification and a SOC 2 report.

Capability Axes

Capability grades

15 of 15 axes rated · 5 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

Alert scoring and the auto adjudication engine use weighted scoring and probabilistic models to resolve screening alerts and learn from past decisions, AI auto tuning adjusts screening profiles, and models turn raw sources such as press releases into screenable profiles. Matching against watchlists would still run without them, so the models carry the costly part of the job, clearing and tuning alerts, rather than the whole product.

Autonomy and Oversight Model
CC on Autonomy and Oversight ModelAutonomy is claimed and oversight is asserted without a mechanism, or full automation is presented as the entire disclosure. Human in the loop appears as a phrase rather than a described control.
Vendor Published

Which alerts the engine may close on its own, at what score, and when a case goes to an analyst are not described. The auto adjudication engine resolves alerts, reapplies earlier decisions to recurring alerts and prioritizes high risk alerts under rules the institution sets, with role based access control and an end to end audit trail. Transaction monitoring adds adaptive thresholds, and payment screening lets an institution customize rules and automate decisions.

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

Accuracy, validation and drift figures for the adjudication and matching models are not published. Each alert decision carries stated reasoning built from weighted scoring, probabilistic modeling and enrichment filters, customer screening returns explainable match decisions from attribute weighted scoring, and detailed logs support regulatory reporting. Transaction monitoring rules are refined continuously, with link analysis and dashboards for investigators.

Operational and Outcome Evidence
CC on Operational and Outcome EvidenceUnnamed case studies, customer logos, or claims without numbers. Prestige is not measurement: the caliber of the client list describes the buyer rather than the product, and coverage statistics are not adoption statistics.
Vendor Published

Customers go unnamed. The figures are Facctum's own and attach to no institution: false positives and manual review cut by up to 70 percent, know your business costs down by up to 40 percent per case, more than 5 million watchlist records managed by clients, potential matches returned in under 80 milliseconds on average and 99.9 percent uptime. Celent has recognized the company among technology providers transforming compliance.

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

Whether the adjudication models' learning stays within one institution or pools across clients is not stated, nor are training or retention terms for alert data. The models learn from previous outcomes and from each organization's adjudication history, and AI auto tuning adjusts screening profiles from results.

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

The privacy policy of Facctum Solutions Limited covers its customers and website visitors, while retention, subprocessors and processing terms for the customer and payment data an institution screens are not set out. Screening applies privacy first rules to sensitive data, and an institution chooses the cloud region its data sits in.

Security Certifications and Trust Center
BB on Security Certifications and Trust CenterA recognized certification named in the vendor’s own material without the artifact, or with a scope or renewal question the buyer has to raise.
Vendor Published

An auditor, certificate scope and a trust center are not given. Facctum states ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification across its operations, infrastructure and products, adds ISO 27017, ISO 27018 and SOC 2, and states compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation and the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act.

Data at rest is encrypted with 256 bit keys in hardware security modules validated to Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 Level 3, and data in transit with Transport Layer Security 1.2.

Regulatory Status and Licensure
CC on Regulatory Status and LicensureThe regulatory position is unstated. Most vendors in this index are technology suppliers and being unlicensed is the correct posture, so this grade records silence about the posture, not a missing license.
Vendor Published

Facctum states no regulatory position or admission of its own, as a technology supplier to regulated institutions. Its products are framed around anti money laundering, sanctions and know your customer duties, with payment screening aligned to Single Euro Payments Area rules, the EU anti money laundering directives and Financial Action Task Force guidance, and compliance stated with the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act.

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 testing of name matching or of the adjudication models is not published, and no governance process for the learning models is described. Screening decides which customers and payments are held for review, where uneven false positive rates across names, scripts and languages would fall, and AI auto tuning changes match behavior over time. Customer screening includes impact analysis for configuration changes.

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 or indemnity behind an adjudication is absent. What exists is traceability: every alert decision carries its reasoning and an end to end audit trail, so an institution can review and challenge how an alert was closed.

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

Model providers, the cloud host, watchlist data suppliers and subprocessors go unnamed. Facctum describes the method instead: weighted scoring, probabilistic modeling and enrichment filters inside its own adjudication engine, and models that structure unstructured sources into screening profiles.

Core Systems and Integration Depth
CC on Core Systems and Integration DepthIntegration claimed through standards or connectors with no system named and nothing to verify.
Vendor Published

Specific core banking or case management products are not named, and full interface documentation comes after contact. FacctView and FacctShield interfaces cover real time and batch screening across more than 20 payment message formats, with webhooks and case management integration, and authentication runs through OAuth 2.0 with single sign on to an institution's identity provider. Watchlist management feeds the downstream screening engines through configurable output templates and automated files.

Deployment Model and Data Residency
BB on Deployment Model and Data ResidencyStated residency commitments or regional hosting options.
Vendor Published

The cloud provider and any on premises option are not named. The platform is cloud native and available in more than 30 regions, so an institution can choose the one that meets its data residency rules, with multiple deployment options for resilience and disaster recovery behind its 99.9 percent uptime.

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

Price, tiers and the unit of charge are unpublished, and full interface documentation and a sandbox come after contact. 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, payment service providers, fintechs, neobanks, wealth and asset managers, capital markets firms, crypto exchanges, currency exchange businesses, ecommerce and gaming operators each have a page written for their obligations, and the frequently asked questions add insurers and digital platforms. A buyer in any of those segments finds material on its own screening duties.

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.
