Salv is an Estonian regtech company that builds a modular SaaS platform to help banks, fintechs, payment service providers, and banking-as-a-service providers detect money laundering, prevent fraud, and meet anti-money-laundering (AML) compliance obligations. Founded in 2018 by former Wise and Skype operators, the company is headquartered in Tallinn and has expanded into other European markets, including the UK.
The platform spans the core financial-crime workflow: Salv Screening checks customers against sanctions, politically exposed person (PEP), and adverse-media lists; Salv Monitoring detects suspicious transaction patterns in real time and post-event; and Salv Risk Scoring identifies high-risk customers. Its differentiating product, Salv Bridge, is a collaborative intelligence-sharing network that lets financial institutions exchange fraud red flags and AML intelligence with one another, helping recover stolen funds faster and reduce blind spots that single institutions cannot see alone.
Salv reports that more than 100 European financial institutions use its platform, and that 80-plus banks and PSPs exchange intelligence daily through Salv Bridge. Customers cited publicly include Swedbank, SEB, and Luminor. The company says customers cut false positives and repetitive manual work by roughly 80 percent. Salv has raised over EUR 12 million in funding, including a December 2023 round (~EUR 4M) to support UK expansion. The platform carries ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and SOC 2 Type 2 compliance.
