$13B VP Bank selects Ripjar for client risk decisioning

The Lichtenstein-based VP Bank will use cybersecurity firm Ripjar’s Labyrinth Screening Platform for client risk assessment, the bank announced Tuesday.

London-based Ripjar uses structured and unstructured data and “private” cloud capabilities to identify customers of risk, including fraudsters, money launderers and terrorists. Its Labyrinth platform automates watchlist screening and recognizes a range of languages and alphabets, according to the company.

Ripjar answers a critical need for the $13 billion bank as regulators worldwide step up banking cybersecurity standards, Markus Reinacher, head of group compliance and operational risk at VP Bank, said in a release.

“As regulators across the globe, and also in the European Union and associated bodies, strengthen and develop anti-money laundering legislation, it’s of critical importance that we remain ahead of the curve,” Reinacher said. “A core component of this is having the technologies in place to run advanced media screening.”
