Sharper, faster, ready for what's next

Preventing and detecting financial crime is rapidly becoming one of the greatest challenges for many financial institutions. Fraudsters are constantly enhancing their schemes, regulatory expectations are intensifying, and many institutions still lack the integrated, risk-based, and cost-effective programs that boards and senior management increasingly demand.

By combining PwC’s adaptive, holistic approach to financial crime risk with the full capability of the NICE Actimize platform, we help organizations develop programs that are more effective, more efficient, and built to evolve. With deep experience across AML, fraud, KYC, and sanctions, we help you move from managing risk to staying ahead of it.  

Solutions built for the speed of risk and the weight of regulation

PwC and NICE Actimize collaborate to help financial institutions rethink how they detect, prevent, and respond to financial crime. Together we bring the strategic depth, technical capability, and operational rigor to transform compliance programs from a cost of doing business into a source of institutional strength. Whether you’re responding to regulatory pressure or proactively modernizing your approach, we’re here to help you move forward.

Threat-Ready Infrastructure

Modernize your foundation

Institutions running aging or end-of-life environments face widening gaps between what their systems can handle and what today’s threats demand. We help modernize that foundation — keeping content high-level and client-outcome focused.

  • Platform implementation and environment setup
  • Cloud migration and upgrade readiness
  • Custom rules configuration and governance frameworks
  • System integration testing (SIT/UAT) and go-live support  

AI-Enabled Defense

Intelligence and precision at scale

The answer to an accelerating threat landscape isn’t more manual effort — it’s smarter systems and sharper analytics. We help deliver AI and analytics-driven capabilities that improve detection quality and reduce noise.

  • Configuration reviews and rule tuning across monitoring products
  • PwC-built AI models that prioritize high-risk alerts
  • Model validation services for regulatory scrutiny
  • Reduction of false positives across fraud and AML workstreams

Operational Resilience

Reduce cost without reducing capability

Alert volume from fraud and transaction monitoring systems is overwhelming institutions. We help teams do more with less — combining technology, AI, and skilled professionals.

  • Managed services providing sustained implementation and program support
  • Alert review augmentation combining skilled professionals with AI
  • Operations optimization that helps reduce cost and improves outcomes
  • Productivity analysis and resource allocation advisory

Modern Fraud Innovation  

Stay ahead of what’s evolving fastest

Fraud is evolving faster than most institutions can adapt. We help organizations detect and respond to modern fraud typologies — including emerging and digital threats.

  • Insider fraud detection for employee and third-party compromise
  • Scam-specific capabilities: investment fraud, elder abuse, BEC, P2P
  • Crypto-focused detection addressing anonymity-driven losses
  • Fraud program assessments: governance, prevention, detection, response  

Anti-Money Laundering Redefined

Integrated, risk-based, built to last

Many institutions have had AML and sanctions processes in place for years but still lack the integrated programs regulators and leadership demand. We help redesign and strengthen the core.

  • BSA/AML program assessment and remediation
  • Transaction monitoring enhancement and rule tuning
  • CDD and KYC framework design and implementation
  • Sanctions screening configuration reducing false positives (OFAC, PEP, adverse media)
  • Regulatory response, exam readiness, and strategic AML transformation advisory
