Napier AI, the London-based RegTech firm specialising in financial crime compliance technology, has confirmed that its Continuum platform is now available through Microsoft Marketplace, the unified destination where businesses can source cloud solutions, AI applications and agents.
The listing means Napier AI’s client base can now find and deploy the company’s tools with simplified integration and management across Azure and other Microsoft services. Customers are able to take on the entire Continuum suite or opt for standalone modules covering client screening, transaction screening and transaction monitoring, all designed to strengthen KYC and AML compliance through AI-supported screening and monitoring functions built for financial crime use cases.
The move comes against a backdrop of mounting financial crime costs. Figures from the Napier AI / AML Index 2025–2026 estimate that money laundering cost the global economy $5.5tn last year, equivalent to roughly 5 per cent of worldwide GDP. The same research suggests that adopting AI-based compliance systems could cut $183bn from regulated firms’ annual compliance spend, while economies more broadly could recoup upwards of $3.3tn each year by curbing illicit financial flows.
Buyers using Microsoft Marketplace to purchase Napier AI Continuum can also count that spend towards an existing Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC), giving eligible customers a way to make further use of budget already committed to Azure.
Napier AI builds anti-money laundering and financial crime compliance software for banks, payments firms and wealth and asset managers. The company says its engineering work is aimed at making a tangible dent in financial crime figures, and its Continuum platform is now used by more than 100 institutions globally, with Napier AI positioning the tool as turning compliance from a regulatory necessity into a source of competitive advantage.
Greg Watson, CEO of Napier AI, said: “Compliance teams are facing an onslaught of suspicious activity and alerts, worsened by financial criminals scaling with AI. Many are still reliant on a mix of systems that bury them in false positives, which risks serious financial crime going undetected.
“With Napier AI Continuum now on the Microsoft Marketplace, we’re able to help a wider number of financial institutions to screen clients during onboarding and continuously monitor transactions in real-time to root out financial crime, ease the burden on compliance teams and prevent significant money laundering losses.”
Cyril Belikoff, vice president, Microsoft Azure Product Marketing, said: “We’re pleased to welcome Napier AI to Microsoft Marketplace. Marketplace connects trusted solutions from global partners with customers worldwide, making it easy to find and deploy apps that work seamlessly with Microsoft products.”
