About ThetaRay:

ThetaRay is the leading provider of AI-based Big Data analytics. We are dedicated to helping financial organizations combat financial cybercrimes like money laundering, fraud, and ATM attacks, which are used to finance terrorism, narcotic and human trafficking, sex slavery, and other malicious acts. Our IntuitiveAI solutions for AML, fraud, and ATM security can detect malicious behaviour months before existing rule-based and standard AI solutions can.

IntuitiveAI replicates the decision-making capabilities of human intuition, one of the most accurate decision tools available. In doing so, it dramatically decreases the incidence of false positives, while increasing the number of true positives. We uncover the unknown unknowns.
