"Risk and compliance professionals, like you, want the same thing: the right platform to comply with increased regulatory scrutiny and to reduce risk exposure in an efficient manner," said Thomas C. Brown, senior vice president, financial services, LexisNexis Risk Solutions. "In many cases you are the first line of defense, when combating financial crimes. Working with LexisNexis Risk Solutions, you'll receive a comprehensive view into who you are conducting business with so that you can confidently comply with the ever changing regulatory requirements in a timely manner."

Already established as the platform of choice for many leading financial institutions in Asia, the latest version of Bridger Insight XG is available in seven languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, German, French and Japanese, which facilitates its global adoption.

Chrisol Correia, director, global AML, LexisNexis Risk Solutions said: "When we began the journey to bring a new version of Bridger Insight XG to the global marketplace, we started with our customers' feedback and expectations. Their views and ideas contributed to make Bridger Insight XG the most advanced screening solution available to address a broad range of requirements in the AML Compliance space. We listened to our customers, understood the relevant features and benefits they wanted, and then we delivered. Bridger Insight XG was designed by our customers, for our customers."
