FreemarketFX, an international payments firm specialising in global money movement, has strengthened its long-standing relationship with Napier AI, a London-based financial crime compliance technology provider, as the two teams collaborate to bolster secure cross-border payments.
FreemarketFX operates as a global payment processing company and offers seamless FX capabilities through its market-leading payment infrastructure. Its platform enables businesses to move funds across borders efficiently.
Under the renewed partnership, Napier AI will serve as FreemarketFX’s core transaction monitoring system. This includes deploying its behavioural-driven Insights AI tool, which identifies anomalies by benchmarking customer activity against global, local and peer group norms. The solution aims to highlight risks that deviate from expected patterns, improving detection accuracy while reducing false positives.
The collaboration will also support FreemarketFX’s expansion strategy by enhancing operational efficiency to handle rising transaction volumes. Insights from the Napier AI / AML Index 2025–2026 revealed that UK financial institutions currently face 250–300 money laundering alerts per day, underscoring the importance of scalable, AI-driven compliance infrastructure.
Additional research from Napier AI found that $3.3tn could be restored to global economies through AI-enabled anti-money laundering frameworks. By automating repetitive, resource-intensive compliance tasks—such as client due diligence, daily alert reviews and escalation of high-risk cases—the technology aims to free analysts to focus on more complex financial crime investigations.
Napier AI is a RegTech firm providing anti-money laundering and financial crime compliance software to financial institutions, payments companies and wealth & asset management firms. Its flagship platform, Napier AI Continuum, is designed to turn compliance from a regulatory requirement into a competitive advantage, and the company is trusted by more than 100 institutions globally.
FreemarketFX head of compliance and MLRO Jamie King said, “We are delighted to be working with Napier AI to enhance our transaction monitoring capabilities as we continue to expand globally. Using their AI-driven technology helps us strengthen our compliance framework, reduce false positives, and scale our payment checks while maintaining the highest standards of regulatory oversight. As we enter new markets, having trust and confidence in our monitoring processes is vital to ensure our compliance processes evolve in line with global growth.”
Napier AI CEO Greg Watson commented: “We are proud to support FreemarketFX as they expand their global footprint, using AI to aid their compliance efforts as their volume of payments scales. By combining AI with explainable decision making, we’re helping analysts detect and fight financial risks faster and more accurately to keep payments secure.”
