RiskScout is a team of former bank examiners, BSA professionals, and fintech developers helping financial institutions grow and be more efficient and profitable. Our team brings what we call “cheeks in the seats” experience and we have interviewed thousands of BSA and compliance professionals during our product development and have delivered one their wish lists. Through a full BSA/AML and Fraud suite, RiskScout's solutions increase revenue and decrease compliance costs and losses by unlocking new deposit streams, automating compliance workflows, and catching fraudsters.
RiskScout serves community banks and credit unions of all sizes, even down to the smallest institutions because we know that protecting our communities is essential, regardless of asset size. Our solutions and product roadmap are built by former BSA Officers and bank examiners looking to make BSA/AML/Fraud programs more efficient and effective, so if you have manual processes, an antiquated AML system, or fraud losses, you’re in the right place.
RiskScout bases pricing on asset size, but we pride ourselves on being accessible for community financial institutions. RiskScout also includes its core functionality together in one unified solution, so you aren’t stuck getting "nickeled and dimed" over small features or juggling multiple logins and solutions. If you have questions about what pricing looks like for your institution, get in touch and we’ll get you a customized quote.
RiskScout is core agnostic and already works closely with many of the major core providers. Not only do we integrate, we pride ourselves on working with cores to accurately map your data and ensure it supports your needs. As long as we can get transaction files from your core, then RiskScout will work for you.
