Silent Eight

Silent Eight, founded in Singapore in 2013, offers AI solutions to combat money laundering (AML), terrorism financing (CFT), and violations of international sanctions lists. The platform automates compliance processes traditionally handled by large human teams at banks and financial institutions, reducing the time and cost needed to investigate and close alerts generated by transaction monitoring systems. In late 2025, the company closed a $40 million Series B, bringing total funding to $61.2 million across five rounds. Investors include notable names from the financial and technology sectors, including HSBC Strategic Innovation Investments — a signal of direct confidence from one of the world's largest banks in Silent Eight's technology — alongside Joyful Frog Digital Innovation, Crystal Horse Investments, Wavemaker Partners, Aglaia Family Office, Fanjul Capital, and TYH Ventures. The company today operates through global hubs in New York, London, and Warsaw, alongside its Singapore headquarters, serving clients in over 150 markets worldwide — a geographic footprint reflecting the inherently global nature of financial compliance, where anti-money-laundering regulations and sanctions lists require simultaneous monitoring across multiple jurisdictions. Silent Eight positions itself in the regtech-for-AML market, a segment with sustained structural growth, fuelled by the progressive tightening of international financial transparency regulations and growing pressure on banks to reduce false positives generated by traditional screening systems — a problem that generates significant operational costs for the entire global banking sector.
