Why Riftbeacon

Not another legacy AML vendor.

Legacy AML vendors were built for legacy banks. Riftbeacon was built for the banks that launched in the last five years — and the compliance obligations that come with growing fast.

Four reasons compliance teams choose Riftbeacon

Built for digital banks

Rules calibrated for ACH push, card-linked accounts, and P2P rails — not wire transfers from the 1970s. Your false-positive rate reflects your actual customer behavior.

Explainability-first

Every ML alert includes plain-language rationale your BSA officer can read to an examiner. No black-box scores. ML-augmented, not ML-only — because regulators need reasoning, not outputs.

Fast onboarding

Most clients are live in 4-6 weeks via REST API. No consulting engagement. No 9-month implementation timeline. We start the 30-day clock on our onboarding, not yours.

Transparent pricing

Volume-based SaaS pricing published on our website. Starting at $2,500/month. No RFP process, no hidden implementation fees. Prices scale with your transaction volume, not your headcount.

Founder Perspective

Why this platform needed to exist

"Digital banks are being held to the same BSA/AML standards as community banks that have had 30 years to build their programs — but with a fraction of the compliance staff and transaction volumes that double every 18 months. The tools that exist were built for the compliance team at a mid-size bank, not a 10-person fintech growing 3x year over year. That's the gap Riftbeacon closes."

— Priya Sundaram, Founder & CEO
