Financial crime hides in plain sight. We see it.

Finhaq is the fincrime platform for banks and fintechs: customer screening, transaction monitoring, fraud detection, fund tracing, and regulatory reporting, unified behind one API and one risk picture of every customer.

The fincrime problem

Crime moves money. Money moves through you.

Every illicit scheme, from fraud to trafficking to corruption, ends the same way: as transactions inside a financial institution. That makes your platform the last line of defense, and the first place regulators look.

2–5%
of global GDP is laundered every year

The UN Office on Drugs and Crime's standing estimate — trillions of dollars looking for a clean exit.

<1%
of illicit flows are ever seized

Most laundering succeeds. Detection quality at the institution level is where that statistic gets decided.

$5B+
in AML fines handed down annually

Weak screening and late reporting are now existential risks, not back-office problems.

The platform

The full fincrime lifecycle. One platform.

Onboard, monitor, investigate, report. Every stage shares the same risk picture of the customer, so nothing falls between tools and every decision is explainable to a regulator.

Risk intelligence

A living map of financial crime risk.

Screening is only as good as the data behind it. Finhaq fuses global risk intelligence with what happens inside your own product, then connects the two, so a name on a list becomes a network you can act on.

Global sanctions & watchlists

OFAC, EU, UK, UN, and local regulator lists, synced continuously, screened with fuzzy matching that survives transliteration and typos.

PEP & adverse media coverage

Politically exposed persons, their relatives and close associates, plus negative-news screening across global and regional sources.

A shared fincrime network

A mule account traced at one institution is flagged at every institution on Finhaq. Criminals can't just bank elsewhere.

ENTITY NETWORK · CASE-2026-0042 5 flagged
SDN HIT 96% MULE MULE acct acct dev sanctioned counterparty shared device same IP
links found in 96ms · graph depth 4 → whole ring exposed, not just one account
Instant fund tracing

Follow the money.

When financial crime hits, stolen funds don't disappear. They layer. Finhaq traces money across accounts, hops, and institutions in real time, so the trail leads somewhere: a frozen account, a recovered transfer, an STR with the full story attached.

Trace every hop

Funds moving through mule accounts are followed link by link, across the network.

Freeze at the destination

Receiving accounts are flagged and frozen before funds cash out.

Evidence, ready to file

Every trace is packaged with its chain of custody for regulators and law enforcement.

Behavioral intelligence

Fraud doesn't follow your rules.

Finhaq learns how every account actually transacts: devices, locations, velocity, networks. When behavior breaks pattern, the trust score drops, a case opens, and below a critical score the account freezes itself.

No blacklist to maintain. No rule to write. The behavior is the evidence.

Entity risk scoring

Risk is a pattern, not a checkbox.

Finhaq builds a living risk score for every customer and counterparty from screening hits, devices, velocity, networks, and behavior. When the score crosses your threshold, enhanced due diligence opens itself, the case is assembled, and risky movement is held.

Fewer false positives for your team. Fewer free passes for criminals.

Compliance built in

Compliance isn't a feature. It's the architecture.

Regulator rule packs per country, thresholds in local currency, and checks that adapt to each market. Every verdict carries its own explanation, and every field change carries an audit trail of who, what, and when. Entering a new market is configuration, not a rewrite.

Predictable pricing

Fincrime cover that doesn't bill you per API call.

We own the core engines. That's why our pricing is flat, and why yours can be too.

Legacy vendors
  • Per-API-call pricing that punishes growth
  • Black-box scores you can't defend to a regulator
  • Generic global rules, blind to local requirements
  • Fraud data siloed per vendor, never shared
finhaq
  • Flat monthly price. Grow without penalty
  • Every verdict explained, signal by signal
  • Local rule packs and STR workflows per market
  • Shared fincrime network, where every trace makes you safer
Field-level encryption

Sensitive fields encrypted with searchable blind indexes.

Cloud or on-premise

Your infrastructure, your data, your jurisdiction.

Tenant isolation

Multi-tenant separation by construction, not policy.

Hardened APIs

Tested against automated OWASP scanning.

Data residency partnership

Finhaq data, hosted in Lagos.

We've partnered with Huawei Cloud to stand up local infrastructure in Lagos, keeping customer and transaction data within Nigerian borders. Lower latency, local data residency, and compliance with NDPR and CBN data localization requirements, without giving up the performance of a global cloud.

  • Data stored and processed inside Nigeria
  • Built for NDPR and CBN data localization rules
  • Lower latency for Nigerian banks and fintechs
Huawei Cloud × Finhaq

A regional infrastructure partnership bringing Finhaq's fincrime engines closer to the institutions they protect, hosted locally in Lagos.
