Ripjar

Ripjar builds AI-powered data intelligence platforms that turn complex structured and unstructured data into actionable intelligence for detecting financial crime, including money laundering, terrorist financing and sanctions evasion. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Cheltenham, UK, the company has operated for over a decade and now serves global financial institutions, governments and corporations across financial services, government, national security and corporate compliance.

The company's technical work spans artificial intelligence, machine learning, data intelligence and analytics on both structured and unstructured data, applied to the problem of surfacing precise signals from large and noisy datasets. Ripjar positions itself as a pioneer of responsible AI in compliance, applying machine learning within regulated environments where accuracy and accountability are central to deployment.

Ripjar was founded by individuals with expertise from the UK national security community, including GCHQ, and operates as a global organisation with its base in Cheltenham. The team comprises technologists, data scientists and analysts working collaboratively on customer problems, with an emphasis on continuous innovation to keep pace with evolving threats. Matt Mills was recently appointed chief executive to lead the company's next phase of growth.
