Overview
Napier AI is a London regulatory technology company founded in 2015 and led by chief executive Greg Watson, selling anti money laundering and financial crime compliance software to banks, payments firms, insurers and wealth and asset managers. Its platform, Napier AI Continuum, spans client screening, transaction screening, transaction monitoring across more than 100 money laundering typologies, client activity review, perpetual client risk assessment and regulatory reporting. It is offered in three configurations: Continuum Pro for enterprise deployment, Continuum Live as a managed plug and play service, and Continuum Flow, which routes alerts from the screening and monitoring engines into an institution's own existing case management interface rather than replacing it. The company describes its approach as AI enhanced rather than AI native, arguing that the right method blends the transparency of traditional rules with the pattern detection of machine learning. Four AI capabilities sit across the platform: Advisory AI recommending whether an alert should be reviewed or discounted, Explainable AI giving human readable justifications naming the features that drove a recommendation, Investigative AI supporting natural language querying of risk data, and Insights AI adding behavioral analytics to transaction monitoring. A sandbox, which the company says it pioneered in this market, lets non technical compliance staff test configurations against real data and measure impact before committing to production. Chief Data Scientist Dr Janet Bastiman chairs the Royal Statistical Society's Data Science and AI Section and sits on the Financial Conduct Authority's Synthetic Data Expert Group. The company reports more than 150 financial institutions as customers, took a 45 million pound investment from Crestline Investors in 2024, and publishes the Napier AI / AML Index with GlobalData.
