ThetaRay, a leading provider of Cognitive AI financial crime compliance technology, announced the launch of its Self-Service Rule Builder and Simulator on July 24, 2025. These no-code tools enhance its transaction monitoring solution, enabling compliance teams to independently create, test, and deploy anti-money laundering (AML) rules, streamlining processes and boosting efficiency for financial institutions.
The Self-Service Rule Builder offers a no-code, point-and-click interface for defining complex AML rule logic, including custom expressions and aggregations. This intuitive workflow allows compliance teams to respond swiftly to evolving risks and regulatory updates without IT or vendor support, reducing operational bottlenecks. “We designed the Rule Builder and Simulator as truly self-service tools,” noted Nitzan Solomon, Senior Vice President of Product of ThetaRay. “Compliance teams can now manage and adapt their risk strategies independently without sacrificing governance.”
The Self-Service Simulator provides a secure environment to test and analyze new rules alongside AI models, ensuring optimal detection strategies without impacting live systems. Compliance teams can evaluate multiple rule versions, enhancing precision in identifying suspicious activities. This safe testing capability builds confidence in compliance decisions, aligning with institution-specific needs.
The new tools deliver several advantages:
“This launch represents a fundamental shift in how compliance teams operate,” said Peter Reynolds, CEO of ThetaRay. “With self-sufficient tools, we put control in our customers’ hands, removing operational friction and accelerating their speed and flexibility to adapt to new risks.” ThetaRay’s tools empower financial institutions to strengthen compliance, uncover hidden criminal networks, and foster growth, supported by a SaaS platform trusted by global clients like Santander and Payoneer.
