Sardine Named a Leader in Financial Crime Management Solutions

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Sardine, a leading platform for agentic risk management, has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Financial Crime Management Solutions, Q3 2026. This recognition underscores Sardine’s effectiveness in unifying and automating the complex processes involved in combating financial crime.

Financial crime, including fraud, identity theft, anti-money laundering (AML), and payment risk, often manifests in interconnected behaviors, yet many organizations still manage these issues separately. Sardine addresses this gap by integrating various types of intelligence—identity, device, behavioral, transaction, and network—across fraud and AML. The platform leverages AI agents to investigate patterns, surface anomalies, and automate repetitive tasks, ensuring a more cohesive and efficient approach to financial crime management.

According to Forrester's evaluation, Sardine excelled in multiple key areas, including rules-based risk scoring, transaction type support, queue and case management, and regulatory and operational reporting. The report highlighted that Sardine’s rules-based risk scoring is particularly remarkable.

Soups Ranjan, CEO and Co-Founder of Sardine, commented, “Fraud and AML teams are fighting the same underlying fincrime networks, but historically they have been asked to do it with fragmented data, tools, and workflows. We believe the next generation of financial crime management brings that intelligence together and gives investigators AI agents that can automate repetitive work around sanctions and transaction monitoring reviews. Those same agents can also act as highly intelligent copilots, helping investigators uncover fraud rings by writing SQL queries and doing deep data science work. Humans can stay focused on the decisions that require judgment, context, and accountability.”

Sardine's agentic risk platform is designed to provide a shared foundation for detecting and managing financial crime. By unifying data across risk teams, the platform enables real-time fraud detection and automated compliance operations. More than 450 global enterprises, including category leaders in banking, fintech, wealth and retirement, HR and payroll, payments, and software, rely on Sardine for secure and efficient operations. Notable customers include FIS, Experian, National Bank of Canada, Nubank, GoDaddy, Deel, Gusto, Paylocity, Xero, and ZoomInfo.
