• Salv’s inclusion highlights its leadership in collaboration and real-time intelligence sharing between financial institutions to fight financial crime.

• Salv’s framework for cross-border intelligence sharing removes legal uncertainty, providing a clear, practical path to effective financial crime collaboration.

• CEO Taavi Tamkivi calls for the industry to abandon outdated methods and embrace real-time collaboration to beat financial crime.

29 April 2025, London, United Kingdom: European regtech innovator Salv has been named in the 2025 FinCrimeTech50 list, recognising the leading companies in financial crime prevention.

Financial crime teams today are overwhelmed by the relentless rise in scams and money laundering. Criminals aren’t playing by any rules, so beating financial crime demands a new level of collaboration across institutions, borders, and disciplines.

To fight back effectively, financial institutions must rethink how they collaborate while staying compliant.

Salv’s flagship solution, Salv Bridge, enables banks, fintechs, crypto firms, and payment service providers to securely and proactively exchange intelligence in real time when fraud is suspected. As a result, institutions are recovering up to 80% more stolen funds.

“We’re delighted to be recognised among the FinCrimeTech50,” said Taavi Tamkivi, CEO and Co-Founder of Salv. “At Salv, working with large banks and world-changing fintechs, we keep seeing that collaboration in financial crime fighting is going beyond the usual broad, static data sharing initiatives.”

“Today, it requires real intelligence sharing: in real-time, focused on suspicion, and guided by human expertise. This recognition reflects the work we’re doing to help crime fighting teams collaborate more effectively and protect their customers from harm.”

Over the past three years, Salv has developed a comprehensive framework for real-time intelligence sharing across Europe. Built around EU regulations, national laws, and individual operating procedures, this framework gives financial institutions the structure they need to share intelligence confidently and legally.

Already adopted across several European markets, Salv Bridge is proving that moving from slow email chains and risky manual workarounds to secure, auditable communication isn’t just possible, it’s becoming essential.

“The idea that the law doesn’t allow intelligence sharing is outdated – it’s now expected under AML regulations and fully governed by GDPR,” Tamkivi added. “Every day institutions delay collaboration, more stolen funds vanish. Fighting modern financial crime with outdated communication methods is ineffective. Financial institutions need a faster, smarter way to collaborate. With Salv Bridge, they finally have it.”
