powered point solutions in risk and compliance to help the banking and financial
services (BFS) industry achieve sustainability in their compliance programs. Our

Incorporated in November 2014 in Singapore, the company is led by a core team


with cumulative 150-years’ experience in financial crime, AI and big data analytics.
Tookitaki’s client portfolio expands across AsiaPacific, North America and Europe
markets, including a Japanese multinational investment bank, a large European
bank, a leading Southeast Asian bank and such other global reputed financial
institutions.

Financial and Enterprise Singapore (a subsidiary of the Singapore Government), the
company’s accolades include:

In regulatory compliance, we focus on anti-money laundering and reconciliation and


our products – Anti-Money Laundering Suite (AMLS) and Reconciliation Suite (RS) –
cater to these areas, respectively.

Today, regulatory compliance processes have become more complex and fluidic,
increasing the chances for rule-based models to fail. Banks need to move beyond
static rule-based systems and adopt a new approach to improve efficiency,
effectiveness at optimal cost, ensuring sustainable compliance programs across the
BFS industry. Tookitaki bridges the gap with its innovative software products – AMLS
and RS.
