Singapore, 10 December 2025 – Cynopsis Solutions today announced its inclusion in the 2026 RegTech100 list, an annual ranking by FinTech Global that recognises 100 of the world’s most impactful and innovative RegTech companies shaping the future of regulatory compliance and financial crime prevention.

The latest inclusion marks the fourth time Cynopsis Solutions has been recognised since the RegTech100 list was launched in 2018, following earlier appearances in 2018, 2019 and 2022. The multi-year recognition reinforces the company’s position as an established regulatory technology leader whose solutions materially impact how institutions comply with AML and CTF regulations.

The RegTech100 is an annual list compiled by FinTech Global in collaboration with RegTech Analyst. For the 2026 edition, a panel of RegTech analysts and industry experts assessed more than 1,000 providers worldwide. They focused on companies that address critical compliance challenges, deliver measurable improvements, and strengthen the efficiency and effectiveness of regulatory operations as expectations and artificial intelligence increasingly become deeply embedded in financial service. The list is a vital resource referenced by institutions developing their compliance, financial crime and digital transformation strategies.

Cynopsis’s recognition comes at a time when financial institutions are managing both the benefits and risks of rapid advances in technology such as artificial intelligence. On one hand, AI is helping institutions streamline operations and fuel growth. On the other, artificial intelligence introduces profound challenges in anti-money laundering and counter terrorism-financing risk management, offering organised crime syndicates and illicit actors a new way to scale their tactics.

Cynopsis’s successive inclusion in the RegTech100 2026 provides compliance leaders with independent assurance that its AI-powered platforms have been assessed by industry experts, align with supervisory expectations, and are built to support rapid changes in risk and regulation.

Cynopsis Solutions' integrated compliance stack helps banks, financial institutions and regulated entities manage financial crime risk across the full customer lifecycle. This is achieved through three award-winning platforms – Ares, Artemis, and Athena that connects digital onboarding, customer due diligence and ongoing monitoring workflows so that money laundering, financial crime and fraud risk is assessed consistently, recorded in a way that stands up to regulatory scrutiny, and updated as customer risk profiles and transaction behaviour change.

  • Ares is a digital onboarding platform that supports compliant onboarding and identity fraud prevention so institutions can onboard customers more quickly while keeping high risk and fraudulent individuals out of their ecosystem from the outset.

  • Artemis is a KYC case management platform that gives compliance teams a consolidated view of financial crime risk for each customer and their associated parties, including related persons, connected entities and beneficial owners. This helps teams base their compliance decisions on a complete and well-documented picture rather than isolated profiles.

  • Athena is a real-time transaction monitoring platform that strengthens transaction surveillance and investigations by helping teams detect unusual and suspicious activities as it emerges, and by raising immediate alerts that support swift risk mitigation.

Within the quote Chye Kit mentions Cynopsis Solutions remains focused on practical innovation that is shaped by our customer's needs and the operational realities they face. We develop our products with a view of what is coming next, so our clients can run compliance programmes that stay ahead of emerging regulatory expectations.

Cynopsis Solutions’ inclusion in the RegTech100 2026 follows a series of recent industry recognitions, including being named Regulatory Leader at the Singapore FinTech Festival FinTech Excellence Awards 2025, named one of Singapore’s Top FinTech Companies for 2026, Emerging 35 award winner of FinTech Frontiers 50 Awards 2025, and a Market Disruptor in the Chartis Research Financial Crime and Compliance50 2025. These acknowledgements reflect the company’s continued excellence on strengthening regulatory outcomes while supporting efficient day-to-day operations for compliance teams.
