AI is changing how financial crime is detected and investigated—reshaping compliance programs across the industry.

The shift to AI-first AML systems is no longer optional—it’s inevitable.

SymphonyAI, a leader in predictive and generative enterprise AI SaaS, announced today that it has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Anti-Money-Laundering (AML) Solutions, Q2 2025, a rigorous evaluation of top AML vendors by independent research firm Forrester Research.
