Flagright, a global leader in real-time transaction monitoring and AML compliance, and Vilja Solutions, a cloud-native core banking and BaaS platform, today announce a strategic partnership that fuses modern core banking infrastructure with cutting-edge transaction monitoring and compliance capabilities.

Banks and financial institutions across Europe and APAC face the same challenge: legacy cores slow down product innovation, while outdated fraud and AML systems struggle to keep pace with rising regulatory expectations and rapidly evolving financial crime patterns.

Through this partnership, Vilja and Flagright will collaborate to make it easier for mutual clients to connect core banking transaction data and events from Vilja’s platform with Flagright’s real-time transaction monitoring, investigation, and reporting workflows, thereby reducing integration complexity and accelerating time to value.

“We are delighted to collaborate with Flagright, a partner that embodies the same commitment to modern, scalable, and agile solutions. Together, we unite next-gen core banking with next-gen financial crime compliance — a powerful combination that strengthens resilience, accelerates innovation, and delivers a future-proof platform for long-term growth,” said Fredrik Ulvenholm, CEO at Vilja.

This strategic partnership symbolises a broader industry shift: core banking and financial crime compliance are no longer separate tasks. The most successful institutions will adopt architectures that are cloud-native, real-time, API-first and purpose-built for both product innovation and risk mitigation. Flagright and Vilja share a philosophy that modern banking infrastructure must be real-time, API-native and composable end-to-end.

“Vilja’s cloud‑native core and Flagright’s AI‑native fincrime platform are a natural fit. Together we give fintechs and banks a modern stack they can deploy quickly; core modernization plus real‑time AML and case management in as little as two weeks. The result is lower operational cost, fewer false positives, and the control compliance teams need without services-heavy implementation or vendor lock‑in,” adds Baran Ozkan, CEO at Flagright.
