Category Standard

Tookitaki is a well-established RegTech entity (acquired by Thunes in 2022) with verified traction, including 100+ employees and major industry awards (Chartis, WEF). However, the submission itself is of low quality, with fields like 'activeUsers' and 'monthlyRevenue' left blank or filled with generic text ('everyone', 'most people have used my product'). The score reflects the high real-world value and verified corporate status, significantly dampened by the poor data entry quality and lack of specific metrics in the form fields.

Description
Tookitaki is a regulatory technology company offering financial crime detection and prevention to some of the world's leading banks and fintechs to help them transform their AML and compliance technology needs. Founded in November 2014, the Company employs over 100 people across Asia, Europe and the US. Tookitaki’s innovations in regulatory compliance have been acknowledged worldwide. Chartis Research named the company a Rising Star in its 2021 RiskTech 100 report. In 2020, the company won the Regulation Asia Awards for Excellence and G20TechSprint accelerator. In 2019, the company was featured in the World Economic Forum’s Technology Pioneer List.\n\nIn 2022, Tookitaki became a part of the Thunes global network. Thunes is a B2B company that powers payments for the world’s fastest-growing businesses. Through a single, simple connection, consumers and businesses can send payments to – and get paid in – every corner of the world. With the increase in cross-border payments, the risk of money laundering goes up significantly and so do compliance costs. Adding Tookitaki to Thunes’ network addresses an urgent need for payments and other financial institutions to embed automated, streamlined compliance processes, decreasing risks and reducing overall costs. Together we aim to empower the banking and financial services industry in their fight against money laundering and offer safe and secure payments to our customers.
