The two NICE Actimize finalists include ActimizeWatch, a cloud-based fraud analytics optimization and consortium intelligence solution, as well as a new strategic offering targeting Anti-Bribery & Corruption that supports both corporates and financial services organizations.

“Protecting the capital markets, businesses, and the consumers they serve has long been the underlying objective of NICE Actimize as it innovates to fight financial crime,” said Joe Friscia, president, NICE Actimize. “With anti-bribery and corruption issues in the news, and fraud and cybercrime on the rise around the world, we are excited that the team at the ‘Citi Tech for Integrity Challenge’ recognized the importance of our strategic offerings.”

First round finalists for the competition will present at one of six Demo Days to be held in Latin America, Asia and Europe, where a panel of judges will review and evaluate category specialties and finalists. NICE Actimize’s ActimizeWatch has been tapped to be presented to judges in Dublin on May 18, and the NICE Actimize Anti-Bribery & Corruption strategy and accompanying technology will be unveiled to judges in Singapore on June 9. Final award winners will be announced at the end of June.

Citi is leading this initiative in collaboration with public and private sector allies including countries and other public and private sector entities looking to bring outside innovation inside their organizations.
