Once deployed across the bank's largest operations in Denmark and across its European and Asian businesses, Saxo Bank is expected to have a fully automated enterprise-wide platform supporting AML strategy and compliance. Saxo Bank is a rapidly growing online investment firm that is currently acquiring E*Trade's Nordics operations, which includes client accounts in Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden and Norway.

"Saxo Bank required an AML platform that is flexible enough to grow quickly with the firm as it expands into new regions and businesses," said Henrik Alsoe, Senior Vice President at Saxo Bank. "After an extensive review of the available AML solutions, we determined that NICE Actimize's solutions would be the best fit for Saxo Bank. We needed a solution that provides comprehensive coverage and can be deployed quickly to help us manage our AML compliance risk. The NICE Actimize solutions provide us with the best out-of-the-box AML coverage and the flexibility to grow with our firm over time as well as adapt to changing regulations."
