Salv has become a Supporting Member of the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA), a worldwide network that brings together banks, technology firms, regulators, law enforcement and consumer protection bodies in the battle against scams and financial crime.
The company frames the move as a practical necessity rather than a gesture. Fraudsters routinely spread their activity across several banks simultaneously, routing funds through webs of accounts that no individual firm can observe end to end. Even an institution with first-rate controls only ever sees a fragment of the overall pattern. GASA’s purpose is to bridge that visibility gap by linking crime-fighting professionals across industries and jurisdictions.
Salv’s technology brings together screening, transaction monitoring and risk scoring alongside inter-institutional intelligence exchange, with the aim of lowering false positives, easing manual investigation burdens and exposing real threats more quickly.
Its network product, Salv Bridge, lets member institutions check known-suspicious individuals at onboarding, examine flagged payments from both the sending and receiving side, and assemble a threat picture richer than anything a single firm could produce on its own.
Industry-wide collaboration has long been endorsed in theory but rarely delivered in practice, with unclear legal frameworks and competitive mistrust standing in the way. That is now shifting, driven both by regulation and by the networked nature of modern financial crime itself. Under the EU’s Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (Article 75) and Payment Services Regulation (Article 83a), cross-border intelligence sharing becomes compulsory from 2027.
Salv has spent half a decade operating compliant data exchange at scale across more than 100 financial institutions, and that expertise, together with the governance and legal foundations underpinning it, is now being offered to the GASA community as European firms prepare to work collectively.
Salv co-founder and CEO Taavi Tamkivi said, “Fighting financial crime is a team sport. It takes the whole industry working together to actually make a difference. Salv has joined GASA because the people who understand this problem need a way to find each other, share what they’re seeing, and act on it together. That’s what we’ve been building toward from the start, because none of these problems get solved in isolation. Wherever real collaboration is happening is where we belong.”
