Salv, a European RegTech innovator specialising in financial crime prevention, has launched its Salv Bridge intelligence-sharing platform in Lithuania.
Paysera and NEO Finance are among the first financial institutions in the country to join the network, gaining access to a collaborative ecosystem designed to stop fraud in real time.
The company’s expansion into Lithuania comes amid growing regulatory and industry pressure to enhance intelligence-sharing between financial institutions. The move underscores the urgent need for collective, cross-border action to close the gap between fast-moving criminal networks and often isolated banking systems.
Founded in Estonia, Salv develops advanced RegTech tools that help financial institutions detect, prevent, and respond to financial crime. Its technology is used by banks, payment providers, and digital finance firms across 14 countries, with plans for further global expansion in the near future.
Salv Bridge serves as a secure communication channel that enables institutions to share intelligence on fraud cases, typologies, and stolen funds before they are laundered. By connecting compliance and fraud teams across borders, the platform supports rapid investigation and recovery, reducing losses and strengthening defences against organised crime.
The platform’s rollout in Lithuania marks an important milestone in Salv’s mission to create a trusted international network. Participating firms have already reported early success, using the tool to identify and shut down suspected money mule accounts. Members also benefit from built-in legal frameworks, best-practice templates, and regulator-friendly compliance tools to ensure responsible, privacy-compliant collaboration.
Beyond fraud detection, Salv Bridge is helping institutions streamline sanctions screening and automate verification checks. Clients report significant efficiency gains, with reduced manual workloads and faster decision-making in high-risk cases. As adoption grows, the platform is evolving to support new use cases, including joint blacklists and early typology warnings.
The initiative arrives as Lithuania prepares to implement a government-backed national intelligence-sharing solution by 2026. Salv’s cross-border Bridge network aligns with this wider vision of uniting the financial sector against fraud and money laundering, helping institutions operate as a single, coordinated defence network.
Paysera CEO Justina Šidlauskienė said, “Paysera’s mission is to provide fast and convenient financial services, but security is the foundation of everything we do. Criminals operate in networks, and to fight them effectively, we must do so as well. Joining Salv Bridge was a strategic move from isolated defence to collective, real-time action. We are already seeing how this direct collaboration with other financial institutions allows us to stop fraudulent transactions much faster. For our customers, this means an even greater level of security and trust, knowing their funds are protected by the most advanced solutions on the market.”
NEO Finance MLRO Lukas Pankratovas said, “At NEO Finance, we’re always looking for ways to strengthen our fraud prevention capabilities and protect our customers. Salv Bridge also adds real value to our sanctions screening process by helping us verify potential matches more efficiently through secure collaboration with other institutions. This kind of real-time intelligence sharing enables our team to act more proactively and contributes to a safer financial ecosystem overall.”
