Varo Money, a US-based mobile bank, has picked NICE Actimize to enhance its anti-money laundering controls.

The bank will leverage NICE’s AML Essentials SaaS offering.

The product will enable Varo to keep a check on transactions and suspicious activity report filings as well as filter watch list.

Varo co-founder and CEO Colin Walsh said: “Varo offers mobile banking services to customers that come with the highest standards of consumer protection.

“Helping our customers improve their financial health is core to our mission, and that includes keeping all aspects of their banking safe and secure.”

Varo aims to provide fee-free banking services, eliminating the requirement for customers to pay fees for monthly maintenance, foreign transaction and ATM withdrawal.
