Agentic AML platform recognised in Singapore
Dover, Delaware, United States, September 29, 2026 -- Singapore AML Watcher has been recognized for Excellence in RegTech Solutions at the Fintech Week Awards & Expo 2026, held in Singapore on 16–17 September.
The recognition comes as AML Watcher continues to advance its vision for Unified AML Intelligence, bringing together AML data, screening, ongoing monitoring, transaction monitoring and AI-powered risk intelligence in one platform.
Rather than treating AML compliance as a series of disconnected workflows, AML Watcher is building technology that connects intelligence across the compliance lifecycle, helping teams identify risk earlier, reduce unnecessary alerts and make faster, more informed judgements.

Building the Next Generation of AML with AI
AML Watcher is expanding its use of agentic AI to address some of the industry's most time-intensive compliance challenges.
Its AI layer already assists analysts in identifying likely true positives from name-screening alerts using enriched AML data. The company is now extending this approach into transaction monitoring, including AI-powered behavioural monitoring designed to help resolve false alerts by providing greater context around transaction activity.
AML Watcher is also developing new agentic AML capabilities that combine proprietary AML data with AI to automate more repetitive compliance work and assist compliance officers with faster, data-backed judgement. Further capabilities are expected to be introduced in the coming months.
The platform is powered by a proprietary AML database containing 215+ sanctions regimes, 3,500+ verified watchlists, 100,000+ adverse media sources and 6M+ PEP profiles, providing the data foundation for its screening, monitoring and AI capabilities.
"We are proud to receive this recognition in Singapore. For us, this award reflects not only what we have built, but where we are taking AML compliance next," said Khurram Akhtar, Founder of AML Watcher.
"We are focused on combining proprietary AML data with AI to reduce unnecessary compliance work, surface meaningful risk faster and give compliance professionals better intelligence to support their judgement."
Expanding Across Asia-Pacific
AML Watcher opened its Singapore office in 2025 to support financial institutions, fintechs and regulated businesses across Asia-Pacific as the region continues to strengthen its AML and financial crime controls.
About AML Watcher

Since the Shaw Prize was first presented in 2004, the prestigious annual awards have been presented in three categories: astronomy, life science and medicine, and mathematical sciences. A fourth category – computer science – was announced earlier this year in a move that is fully in keeping with the original vision of Run Run Shaw, the late Hong Kong film mogul and legendary philanthropist, who set everything in motion. His intention was to recognise the quest for knowledge and honour...

The appeal of a good knit is often immediate, from the softness against the skin to the reassuring volume and warmth. At 45R, those qualities begin well before a garment takes shape. The Japanese label’s latest selection puts the making process in focus, bringing together airy merino, characterful Shetland wool and the flecked textures of Donegal tweed. Founded in Tokyo in 1977, 45R approaches clothing through monozukuri, or the “art of making”, a philosophy centred on respect for craft and...

Back in April, suit jackets lined with interesting graphics and prints emerged as one of the more unusual fashion trends at the 2026 NFL draft in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the annual event where professional American football teams pick out the best young players looking to enter the league. Colton Hood, then a Tennessee cornerback, now on the New York Giants’ roster, rocked up in a cobalt-blue jacket that, when opened, revealed a swathe of family photographs across the lining, chronicling his...

At 22, Luca Yang was running a small teaching company in New Zealand after quitting a six-figure finance job that he hated. It had humble beginnings, where he tutored English online for A$25 (US$17.55) per hour just to get by. When one of his students got into Oxford, word spread: one student became 50, then 500. By most measures, he had already won the start-up lottery. “It was producing a lot of money, but it wasn’t something I actually loved doing,” says Yang, who was born and raised in...
