Chartis Research: ACTICO named a 2025 Category Leader for Adverse Media and Name Screening Software

Chartis Research, a leading research firm, has released its new 2025 market report “Watchlist and Adverse Media Monitoring Solutions 2025”. We’re proud to share that ACTICO has secured a double leadership position as a category leader in both quadrants.”

This recognition is based on two key strengths: 

✔ A strong analyst assessment of ACTICO’s capabilities
✔ Outstanding feedback from our customers 

Together, these placed ACTICO in the leader categories for both watchlist and adverse media monitoring solutions. This dual recognition highlights our unwavering commitment to delivering innovative compliance solutions tailored to the needs of financial services and insurance providers.

We sincerely thank our customers for their continued trust and positive feedback to the Chartis analysts.

Beyond screening: A broader compliance portfolio 

ACTICO’s compliance offering goes beyond watchlist and adverse media screening. It also includes:  

• Anti-Money Laundering (AML) transaction monitoring 
• Payment screening 
• Market abuse and insider trading detection 

These capabilities form the foundation of a comprehensive, 360-degree compliance program for both banks and insurance companies.

Key findings of the survey 

Chartis Research identifies significant trends shaping the watchlist and adverse media monitoring segment. ACTICO is well positioned in this area, backed by a long-standing track record with banks and insurers that have relied on our solutions for years. This experience gives ACTICO a deep understanding of the needs of both compliance and IT teams. But we’ve taken things even further. We’ve made major investments in a new generation of compliance software, co-developed with compliance professionals and key stakeholders to precisely meet evolving market demands. 

The result is a completely reimagined solution designed with: 

• A cloud-first architecture 
• AI-ready capabilities 
• An intuitive, user-friendly interface 

This forward-looking approach supports cost-effective operations, especially for compliance teams facing increasing regulatory pressure and a need for greater automation. The solution can be deployed flexibly—in the ACTICO Cloud, on-premises, or in a private cloud environment. 

As automation becomes a clear industry trend, ACTICO customer screening enables false positive reduction through custom configuration options and integrated machine learning.
