LexisNexis Financial Crime Digital Intelligence Harnesses the Power of Contributed Digital Transaction Intelligence for More Effective Compliance Workflows
LexisNexis® Risk Solutions has revealed the newest application of its digital identity intelligence capabilities. LexisNexis® Financial Crime Digital Intelligence is a new solution that leverages digital identity data to transform financial crime compliance workflows.

Digital transactions represent a growing sanctions risk to many organizations as a result and regulators are taking notice.
