    What people are saying about us

    "Increasing operational efficiency is key to scaling an AML program. To achieve this, Sandbar treats risk in an intuitive and holistic way so their partners can grow efficiently while using a safe and compliant system."

    Melissa Strait, CCO at Coinbase

    "Money launderers and fraudsters are savvy early adopters, quick to identify and exploit "weak links". Sandbar makes decades of know-how readily accessible to Fintechs and Financial Services firms, allowing them to up-level their risk and compliance program and personnel. The emergence of compliance technology like Sandbar makes it hard to justify the risk of being a "weak link" by not implementing it."

    James Philip, CCO of GDC, fmr. CCO at Remitly

    "Sandbar helps us uncover new risks, especially as we scale into new geographies and offer new products. It's great to know that I can lean on them for support as we strengthen our first AML program. They're proactive and responsive, and they complement our Banking Partners nicely."

    Aldrin Clement, CEO of Novel

    "Building Sandbar internally takes many engineers and many years -- believe me. Their approach is unique and allows risk teams to up-level their efforts and scale operations effectively. This is key to any fintech or digital bank but especially cross-border payments companies."

    Jason Hills, fmr. Head of Eng. at Remitly
