Founded in 2013 by former members of the UK Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and headquartered in the United Kingdom, Ripjar builds explainable-AI and national security-grade technology for anti-money laundering and financial crime prevention. The company reported 40% year-over-year ARR growth and a 200% increase in customers since 2024, now supporting more than 300 businesses including over 20 tier 1 banks and 21% of Global Systemically Important Banks. Ripjar has expanded product capabilities, launching address screening within its platform in March 2026 to identify shared addresses with sanctioned or high-risk entities. The company ranked No. 20 in the 2026 Chartis Financial Crime and Compliance 50 and No. 4 for Core Technology, receiving recognition for AI innovation for a third consecutive year. Leadership changes include Matt Mills being appointed CEO after joining as president and COO in the second half of 2025. The recent investment from Long Ridge Equity Partners is intended to support Ripjar’s next phase of growth and product expansion.
