Diligent AI Featured in Times Square: A Milestone for AML Automation


Diligent AI in Times Square

A few weeks ago, our name lit up Times Square, New York City. Brex, one of the fastest-growing financial institutions in the US, put us there.

We would be lying if we said we weren't proud. This is the kind of thing that stops you for a moment and makes you reflect on how far the team has come.

Being recognised and promoted by a company like Brex is not something we take lightly. It is a signal - to us, and we hope to the industry - that the work we have been doing has truly left a mark in financial crime compliance. That the work matters. That it is landing.

Built on two years of progress

This milestone is meaningful precisely because it isn't just a billboard. It reflects something real: leading publicly listed firms, banks and global fintechs are choosing to run their AML operations with Diligent, in production. Compliance teams that have moved from pilot to live deployment and are seeing genuine outcomes - a NASDAQ listed payment firm, for example, improved their false positive closure rate to 60%.

None of that happens without an extraordinary amount of hard work, trust, and iteration with the teams we serve.

What comes next

2026 feels like an inflection point for AI in AML operations. The industry has moved past "can AI do this?" and into "how do we deploy this well?" We are building for exactly that question — agents that integrate into existing infrastructure, evidence their decisions clearly, and make compliance teams faster without adding risk.

Times Square is a moment to savour. Now time to get back to work - we are just getting started!

How Alma accelerates merchant onboarding with AI agents

Alma was growing quickly and needed its merchant onboarding to stay fast and smooth without compromising risk, compliance, or customer protection. As volumes increased, manual reviews created operational strain and threatened to introduce delays for legitimate merchants. To solve this, Alma partnered with Diligent and introduced AI-driven checks to streamline routine work and prioritize higher-risk or more complex cases for human review. The result was a more scalable onboarding process, with greater operational efficiency and more consistent, auditable decision-making. Going forward, the partnership helps Alma keep pace with growth while maintaining trust and safeguards.
