“Can Napier AI become the default AI-powered AML and financial crime compliance infrastructure layer for regulated financial institutions globally?”
Napier AI was founded as a regtech/compliance company specialising in anti-money laundering (AML) and financial crime compliance software. The company has evolved from a software vendor serving financial institutions to an AI-powered platform offering transaction monitoring, KYC/KYB screening, and AML controls as an embedded layer for banks and fintechs. The 2026 launch of MV Shield, powered by Napier AI, illustrates the company's move toward white-label/OEM partnerships as a distribution model.
Napier is founded in 2015 and headquartered in London, England, UK (40 Bank Street, E14 5NR).
