Chartis Research confirms: ACTICO named Category Leader in Watchlist and Adverse Media Monitoring 2026

Friedrichshafen/Chicago/Singapore, May 27, 2026 — Chartis Research has named ACTICO Customer Screening and ACTICO Payment Screening Category Leaders in two segments of its 2026 report “Watchlist and Adverse Media Monitoring Solutions”: Adverse Media Monitoring and Name & Transaction Screening. The recognition confirms ACTICO’s standing as one of the leading compliance technology providers for financial institutions and insurers across Europe and beyond.

Top scores across all evaluation dimensions

Chartis evaluates vendors across six dimensions: data methodology, workflow, pricing and packaging, solution deployment, reporting and auditing, and speed, volume, and performance. ACTICO Customer Screening and ACTICO Payment Screening received exclusively top-tier ratings — “Best-in-Class” or “Advanced Capabilities” — across every category. Data methodology, solution deployment, and speed and performance were singled out as particular strengths. 

“Chartis recognised ACTICO as a leader in 2025. Being confirmed again in 2026 — across both segments and with top scores across the board — shows that we are not standing still. Our customers can rely on ACTICO to deliver compliance technology that works today and scales tomorrow.”

Thomas Succy, Head of Product Management ACTICO

Agentic AI: compliance technology at an inflection point 

This recognition comes at a pivotal moment for compliance technology. The question financial institutions are asking is no longer “Should we adopt AI?”, but “How do we adopt AI without compromising our regulatory standing?” ACTICO is built for exactly this transition: a platform that combines transparent, auditable AI with full deployment flexibility, closing the gap between regulatory intent and technical implementation — from months to minutes.

Part of an integrated compliance portfolio 

ACTICO Customer Screening is part of ACTICO’s broader compliance portfolio, giving financial institutions, banks, and insurers end-to-end coverage of their compliance requirements: 

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