Salv Bridge
Financial crime intelligence sharing for banks and PSPs
Financial crime crosses institutions in seconds.
Coordination between fincrime teams still happens by email, phone, and SWIFT MT199.
Salv Bridge is the operational layer that connects the dots. Governed, encrypted, and real-time.
Faster financial crime has exposed the cost of working alone
By the time a receiving bank has the context to freeze stolen funds, three in four euros are already gone.
This isn’t because of a lack of trying. The operational layer to connect institutions doesn’t exist.
Email, MT199, and personal contacts can’t keep pace with payments that settle in seconds.
Bridge is the proven layer, used by 100+ financial institutions across 16+ EU and UK jurisdictions.

Our partners and clients
Collaborate across fraud, KYC, and AML

Fraud RFIs
Real-time requests for information when funds are moving. Stop stolen funds before they cross the next institution.
Sanctions screening RFIs
Send structured queries directly to counterparty institutions. Clear hits faster with automated action, no need for bilateral phone calls.

Share behavioural signals on suspected mule accounts in real time. Stop accounts being recycled across institutions.
Pooling offboarded customers
Query verified terminations across the network at onboarding and continuously. Stop bad actors before they re-enter.
Collaborative AML investigations

- Better data = better decisions.
Client testimonials
Banks know what the problems are, but Salv worked out how to really solve them. And it’s not just in money laundering and terrorist financing, it’s also been useful in fraud prevention.
Olavi Lepp, CEO SWEDBANK ESTONIA
We’ve seen some really good results in a very short period of time. In the area of fraud prevention, speed is a key aspect – and this tool really helps us communicate with each other and find the necessary information we need to stop these actions from completing.
Kadri Kiisel, CEO LHV
In practice, there has been no appropriate tool for this information exchange. Before, it happened informally – but this was very chaotic, it took time, there was no audit trail – so it’s very good that parties came together to fix this.
Raul Vahtra, HEAD OF AML, SWEDBANK
From the user’s perspective Salv Bridge is really working. The interface is easy to use and intuitive. Salv Bridge has helped us develop a daily working process of exchanging information between our partners.
Allan Parik, CEO SEB ESTONIA
Q&A
Salv Bridge is an information and data exchange solution.
Our cloud-based solution enables financial institutions to exchange and enrich data on bad actors, so all parties strengthen their respective AML efforts. Salv Bridge is encrypted and fully-compliant with the latest data protection regulations.
With Salv Bridge, your team can proactively co-operate across borders, across legal jurisdictions, and against transnational criminal networks.
Salv Bridge can be used for:
-
Recovering funds: Proactive communication, collaboration, and trust allow fincrime investigation teams to exchange data and make decisions based on a high level of suspicion and ahead of the victim report. In 2022, our customers report, it led to the recovery of approximately 80% of funds lost to fraud. Read the case study.
-
Joint AML investigations: Collaborate with other financial institutions in a secure unified (templated) way. No more unorganised emails and meetings in the parks. The sooner missing data gaps are closed, the faster and more effective money-laundering and fraud investigations spanning multiple institutions become. User roles function makes sure only eyes which are supposed to see the investigation do so.
-
Screening alerts resolution: There will always be exact name matches amongst screening alerts. Can’t get rid of them. What you can eliminate though, is bothering customers. Get the necessary info from counterparty financial institutions in the network instead.
-
Automated information exchange: As a BaaS company, reduce your team’s workload and increase operational efficiency by automating 50% (the exact name matches) of your RFIs with money service businesses (MSBs).
Complex fincrime schemes happen across multiple institutions, and each only sees one part of the bigger picture. Salv Bridge brings together financial institutions into a trusted community to detect and investigate fraud and money laundering fill in the missing puzzle pieces.
Salv Bridge
- connects financial institutions via a secure and privacy-protected platform.
- opens up communication and collaboration between fincrime investigation teams from different institutions.
