Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
Financial crime affects everyone in the world. More than $4 trillion is laundered globally daily, and the proceeds fund modern slavery, piracy and numerous other criminal activities. Almost none of this activity is caught, with 99% slipping through the net. Enter Cable, a FinTech startup providing a suite of tools which allows total oversight of complaince, risk, quality assurance and management information reporting, giving fincrime fighters the ability to stop criminals in their tracks.
Cable has closed a seed funding round, raising capital to further develop its platform and to roll it out to its first tranche of contracted customers. It has recently announced partnerships with organisations such as Axiom Bank and Ramp, both organisations on the cutting edge of fintech. As regulators begin to wake up to the threat of online crime and enforce compliance obligations on the digital banking and crypto space, there is sure to be a growing demand for Cable's expertise in the very near future.
