Unit21

Unit21 is a risk and fraud management platform that gives fintech companies, banks, and crypto platforms a no-code way to build and manage fraud detection and anti-money-laundering rules, monitor transactions, and investigate suspicious activity, without needing a large in-house engineering team dedicated purely to building custom risk infrastructure. Its rules engine lets risk and compliance analysts, rather than only engineers, create and modify detection rules directly through a visual interface, which matters because fraud patterns evolve constantly and a risk team that has to submit an engineering ticket for every rule change is always operating several steps behind active fraud trends. Unit21's case management tools give investigators a unified view of a flagged account or transaction, including its full history and any related accounts, streamlining the investigation process that a compliance analyst goes through when deciding whether an alert represents genuine fraud, requires a suspicious activity report filing, or is a false positive. The platform supports both fraud detection use cases, like account takeover and payment fraud, and anti-money-laundering compliance use cases, like transaction monitoring required under banking regulations, within the same underlying rules and case management infrastructure. Unit21 is aimed at growing fintech companies and financial institutions that need sophisticated, adaptable risk operations tooling without building that entire rules engine, alerting, and case management infrastructure from scratch internally.
