FreemarketFX and Napier Extend Partnership to Improve Payment Security Worldwide

The expanded partnership introduces monitoring tools to strengthen compliance, cut false alerts, and enhance secure cross-border payment services worldwide.

FreemarketFX, a worldwide payments and FX infrastructure provider to strengthen security across its international payment flows, has extended its strategic partnership with Napier AI, a London-based RegTech with a focus on financial crime compliance.

According to the Napier AI/AML Index 2025–26, financial institutions receive between 250 and 300 money laundering alerts every day. Also, the company has made advanced monitoring tools an important part of scaling its compliance posture.

FreemarketFX gives businesses a combined infrastructure for effective cross-border money transfers by offering smooth international payment processing and FX capabilities. As well, FreemarketFX's main transaction monitoring engine will now be provided by Napier AI. The integration includes Napier AI’s Insights AI tool which identifies behavioral differences by connecting client behavior with worldwide, local or peer group patterns.

Napier AI highlights the potential economic advantage of setting up AI-based compliance systems. Its recent research indicates that $3.3tn might be returned to international economies through automated AML strategies that streamline client due diligence and sensitive alert management.

Napier AI is a RegTech firm delivering anti-money laundering and financial crime compliance software to financial institutions, payment providers, and wealth & asset management corporations. The company is trusted by around 100 institutions worldwide, and its flagship platform Napier AI Continuum is intended to transform compliance from a regulatory duty into a competitive advantage.

According to Jamie King, head of compliance and MLRO using their AI-based technology helps them tighten their compliance framework, reduce false positives and scale their payment processes while maintaining the highest standards of regulatory supervision.

Greg Watson, CEO of Napier AI, stated they are proud to support FreeMarketFX as they expand their global footprint, using AI to help with their compliance efforts as their volume of payments scales. By merging AI with explainable decision-making, they’re helping analysts identify and tackle financial risks faster and more accurately to keep payments secure.
