The challenge

Nexo, a global digital-asset services platform, ran a complex in-house AML transaction monitoring and case management system. It generated an overwhelming number of false positives, operations were fragmented across multiple tools, customer risk ratings were calculated only after onboarding, and recalculating risk required engineering support.

The solution

Nexo consolidated transaction monitoring, case management, and customer risk rating onto Unit21's single configurable platform, adding AI-driven automation of initial alert reviews.

Our compliance operations have transformed from manual to intelligent, as AI handles more than half of initial alert reviews— empowering our team to focus on the decisions that matter most.
