New York based anti-money laundering, fraud, and counter-terrorism risk detection software provider raised $4.8m in Seed funding led by Lachy Groom and Abstract Ventures.
"At Sandbar, we’re building what I wish I’d had access to as a global financial crimes analyst: a system that removes complexity and redundant, manual effort, providing accurate, up-to-date information so analysts can resolve more cases without doing all of the heavy lifting," said Brandon Bontrager, co-founder and CCO at Sandbar. "Most systems treat risk as a discrete concept, using fixed rules and thresholds that can do more harm than good. Sandbar represents risk as the organic, holistic concept that it is. We take an intuitive, flexible approach that provides context and actionable guidance to analysts, while also centralizing underlying data and risk factors to reveal the bigger picture and eliminate repeated flagging of already identified and dismissed false positives."
