FinScan set for another record year with double-digit revenue growth

Pittsburgh, PA, September 10, 2024 — FinScan®, an Innovative Systems, Inc. solution, is proud to announce a series of successes it has achieved throughout 2023 and 2024. The accomplishments highlight the company’s commitment to technological innovation, customer satisfaction, and market adaptation and the response from new and existing customers resulting in double-digit revenue growth over the last year.

FinScan has achieved several key technological milestones meeting the evolving needs of the financial services industry. The launch of FinScan Securities, one of the compliance industry’s first financial instrument screening solutions,  leverages FinScan’s proprietary, AI-powered matching engine to help firms tackle the growing problem of investors holding financial interests in sanctioned companies.

In addition, FinScan’s innovations are responding to the transformative shift from traditional Know Your Customer (KYC) processes to perpetual KYC (pKYC) focusing on streamlining customer due diligence and onboarding by delivering powerful customer risk scoring, real-time adverse media screening, beneficial owner identification, identity validation capabilities, and continuous customer monitoring after onboarding is complete.

Bob Colonna, CEO of Innovative Systems, Inc., said: “Partnering with our customers to make them successful is at the forefront of FinScan’s priorities. In 2023, we achieved a 92% client retention rate. We’ve also expanded our base of new customers in all major geographies over the last 18 months, including tier one insurance firms and fintechs. Our commitment to the delivery of reliable, efficient compliance solutions is further proven by the staggering 300 billion annual name screenings our SaaS customers conducted in over 60 countries in just milliseconds.”

A recent FinScan LinkedIn poll showed that 62% of 162 compliance professionals said data quality and accuracy was their compliance team’s biggest screening challenge. A separate poll revealed that 54% said incomplete customer data was the biggest cause of false positives. Another poll of 216 compliance professionals indicated the top challenge they face during KYC onboarding is customer due diligence (43%), followed by customer data quality (35%)—a core strength of FinScan.

Brian Markham, Senior Vice President of Engineering, added: “FinScan’s strategy for the next 12 months continues to focus on harnessing the power of data quality and integrity to drive efficiency, accuracy, and risk reduction for financial institutions and other organizations around the world. Innovative Systems will continue to invest in further development of FinScan to address the evolving needs of its customers and future-proof their AML and KYC processes to adapt to inevitable change.”

In recognition of its innovative solutions and industry leadership, FinScan has received numerous industry accolades. Most recently, FinScan was recognized as:

Looking forward, Steve Maul, Chief Revenue Officer, said: “We remain dedicated to supporting organizations in overcoming their financial crime detection and AML compliance challenges. Our continuous investment in cutting-edge technology and expert guidance ensures our customers can navigate the complexities of the regulatory environment effectively and sustainably.”
