Through the agreement, ThetaRay will provide Divilo its SONAR solution, a SaaS-based AML transaction monitoring and sanctions list screening platform, for domestic and cross-border payments. Divilo provides 100% digital financial services to SMEs and the self-employed.
ThetaRay’s advanced SONAR system can detect the earliest signs of sophisticated money laundering activity, allowing Divilo to provide a trusted and reliable payment service as it expands internationally.
“As consumers continue to adopt digital payments and reduce cash transactions, Divilo is on a mission to transform payment and collection by providing greater agility, a better user experience, high-security measures, transparency, and simplicity,” said Juan Guruceta, Divilo founder and CEO. “Using ThetaRay’s AML solution, we will be able to grow our network of relationships and increase business internationally with the assurance that next-generation AI detection will provide enhanced coverage and highly accurate alerts to allow businesses to focus on what really matters”.
Divilo is a Spanish fintech offering financial products developed to facilitate collection for SME companies and the self-employed. This company has traditional solutions, such as cards and transfers, but also offers solutions to manage payments through mobile phones, using PINs or QR codes. Last year, Divilo launched Diveep, a solution that allows charging via a mobile phone by tapping a card or another mobile phone.
“Divilo is a fintech leader providing valuable and innovative payment solutions that are growing the global financial system,” said Mark Gazit, CEO of ThetaRay. “ThetaRay is thrilled to provide Divilo with technology that instills trust into cross-border payments, enabling revenue growth by opening doors to business with new customers and financial partners. Our advanced AI solution also makes the entire process of transaction monitoring much more efficient and effective, while improving customer satisfaction, reducing compliance costs, and increasing risk coverage with safe and secure payments.”
ThetaRay’s award-winning SONAR solution is based on a proprietary form of AI, artificial intelligence intuition, that replaces human bias, giving the system the power to recognize anomalies and find unknowns outside of normal behavior, including completely new typologies. It enables fintechs and banks to implement a risk-based approach to effectively identify truly suspicious activity and create a full picture of customer identities, including across complex, cross-border transaction paths. This allows the rapid discovery of both known and unknown money laundering threats, and up to 99 percent reduction in false positives compared to rules-based solutions.

Former Nokia Technologies C-suite Executive Joins Sisvel to Lead Creation of New Ventures Unit27.10.2026 10:04:00 EET | Press release

Unframe Removes Another Barrier Between AI Capabilities and Adoption27.10.2026 10:00:00 EET | Press release
Unframe, the Applied AI Lab, announced its availability on all three leading cloud marketplaces: AWS Marketplace, Google Cloud Marketplace and Microsoft Marketplace. For enterprises, cloud marketplaces have become the preferred channel for discovering and procuring software. AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft together serve the vast majority of enterprise cloud infrastructure worldwide. Their marketplaces represent a growing share of how organizations purchase technology by consolidating vendor relationships, simplifying contracting and allowing companies to apply existing cloud spend toward new solutions. Being listed across all three is now a key expectation for enterprise-grade software vendors. “Enterprises shouldn’t have to choose between moving quickly on AI and working within the procurement and cloud frameworks they already have,” said Jacquelyn Goldberg, Global VP of Revenue at Unframe. “As an applied AI lab, our job is to close the gap between what AI can do and what enterprises
Ant Group Upgrades LingGuang to 2.0, Turning Its AI Assistant into a Proactive Personal Agent27.10.2026 10:00:00 EET | Press release
Ant Group today announced the launch of LingGuang 2.0, an upgrade that transforms its multimodal AI assistant into a proactive personal agent capable of identifying user needs and managing tasks over time. Moving beyond passive, single-turn interactions, LingGuang 2.0 shifts AI assistance from responding to commands toward continuously identifying needs, following up on tasks, and coordinating everyday affairs on behalf of users. Unlike conventional conversational AI and task-oriented agents, LingGuang 2.0 moves the starting point of AI assistance earlier in the user’s workflow. Instead of waiting for users to issue a command, LingGuang can, with explicit user authorization, draw on connected information and services to spot potential needs, initiate analysis and follow-ups, and alert users when their attention is required. In this way, it evolves from a reactive tool into a personal agent that continuously manages tasks on the user’s behalf. This shift is powered by comprehensive upgr
