The amount that is spent on third-party anti-money laundering systems will surge by 121 per cent from $33.9 billion today by 2030.

According to tech strategists , there.are gaps in transaction monitoring and beneficial ownership disclosure as two of the main vulnerabilities that drive such spending,

“With increasingly complex regulatory regimes, firms are turning to AI-driven screening and analytics to strengthen detection while addressing high false-positive rates,” Shane O’Sullivan, research analyst at Juniper Research, said. “The report found that banks will account for 64 per cent of AML spending by 2030, spurred by sustained exposure to regulatory oversight.”

Juniper Research’s recent AML Systems Competitor Leaderboard evaluated 18 AML system vendors against criteria such as segment coverage, service offerings, and various capacity and capability measures. 

The top 3 vendors for 2025 are LexisNexis Risk Solutions; Oracle and Experian, the report added.
