Salv has joined the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) as a Supporting Member, adding its voice to a global network of financial institutions, technology providers, regulators, law enforcement and consumer protection organisations working against scams and financial crime.
The case for joining is operational, not symbolic. Criminals operate across multiple banks at once, moving money through networks no single institution can see in full. A bank can run the best controls available and still only see its own slice of the picture. GASA exists to close that gap by connecting the people fighting financial crime across sectors and borders.
Salv’s platform combines screening, transaction monitoring and risk scoring with intelligence sharing between institutions, built to cut false positives, reduce manual workload and surface genuine risk faster. Salv Bridge, the company’s intelligence-sharing network, connects institutions so they can screen known-suspicious individuals during onboarding, investigate flagged transactions from both sides of a transfer, and build a fuller picture of threats than any one institution could assemble alone.
“Fighting financial crime is a team sport. It takes the whole industry working together to actually make a difference. Salv has joined GASA because the people who understand this problem need a way to find each other, share what they’re seeing, and act on it together. That’s what we’ve been building toward from the start, because none of these problems get solved in isolation. Wherever real collaboration is happening is where we belong.” — Taavi Tamkivi, Co-founder and CEO, Salv
For years, cross-institution collaboration was something most of the industry agreed on in principle and struggled to act on in practice. Held back by a lack of legal clarity and a lack of trust between institutions in a competitive industry.
That is changing, partly through regulation, and partly because the crime itself has forced the issue. Networked, multi-banked financial crime needs a response that is just as joined up.
On the regulatory side, the EU’s Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (Article 75) and Payment Services Regulation (Article 83a) will make cross-border intelligence sharing mandatory from 2027. Salv has spent five years running and scaling compliant data sharing for over 100 financial institutions. That experience, plus the vital governance and legal groundwork it’s built on, is now available to the GASA community, as all institutions across Europe move towards working together rather than alone.
