Silent Eight

Founded in 2013 in Singapore, Silent Eight built AI models to automate financial crime compliance decisions — specifically AML alert investigation and sanctions screening — for Tier 1 banks. The company differentiated by training on real-world bank data and embedding a human-in-the-loop design. By 2022 it had secured HSBC and Standard Chartered as both customers and investors, validating its enterprise-grade approach. The 2026 launch of Iris 7 represents a move toward a comprehensive, agentic AI decisioning platform covering sanctions, AML, fraud, and payment screening at scale.
