Remittance Fintech AirPak Chooses ThetaRay’s AI-powered Transaction Monitoring to safeguard its Anti-Money Laundering program
Airpak will reduce false positives, increase detection-worthy cases, and reduce investigation times with ThetaRay’s AI-powered AML transaction monitoring and customer screening solution.
NEW YORK, October 16, 2023 — AirPak, a leader in remittance services across Central America, is proud to announce its partnership with ThetaRay, a pioneer in AI-powered transaction monitoring solutions. The collaboration aims to strengthen AirPak’s Anti-Money Laundering (AML) program, a crucial step towards ensuring trust in global remittances.

To bolster its commitment to robust financial oversight and risk mitigation, AirPak has chosen to extend its collaboration with ThetaRay by also implementing the Customer Due Diligence (CDD) module. The CDD module offers advanced features, providing AirPak with enhanced visibility into the various risks associated with customer onboarding and maintenance, ensuring regulatory compliance at every step of the process.
“We are thrilled to extend our LATAM business and to be working with the team at AirPak,” ” said Peter Reynolds, ThetaRay CEO. “Enabling Trusted Global Payments while significantly improving efficiency for our banking and fintech customers is key to our vision, and we’re proud to make this possible for AirPak.”
