NICE Actimize Named No. 1 Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Fraud Solutions Provider in Operational Risk & Regulation Magazine Rankings

NEW YORK, June 2, 2011 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NICE Actimize, a NICE Systems (NASDAQ:NICE) company and the largest and broadest provider of a single financial crime, risk and compliance software platform for the financial services industry, today announced that it has been ranked as the number one solutions provider in both the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Anti-Fraud software categories in Operational Risk & Regulation magazine's Compliance Software Rankings 2011. NICE Actimize also achieved the second place position for the Compliance Monitoring & Control software category.

"There is a major industry trend towards consolidation of vendors and cross-channel products to detect both AML and fraud as faster and broader payments systems widen to more channels such as mobile, web and phone," notes Victoria Tozer-Pennington, editor, Operational Risk & Regulation. "One Actimize client, for example, is consolidating some 200 different AML systems globally into one NICE Actimize product. NICE Actimize's enterprise-wide fraud and AML solutions are obviously hitting the spot, as the firm ranked first in both categories and moved up two places from third to first in the anti-fraud category compared to last year's rankings."

NICE Actimize provides an integrated suite of solutions, leveraging a single platform to manage financial crime and regulatory compliance across all types of financial services businesses which have proven effective across global and regional banking, securities, insurance firms and financial regulators. The company offers standalone solutions that can be easily integrated into a larger enterprise financial crime and compliance framework. All solutions share a common technology platform, which offers cost and performance benefits when compared to integrating disparate systems.

"We are extremely pleased to have been recognized once again by the readers of Operational Risk & Regulation as providing valued highly respected financial crime and compliance solutions," said Amir Orad, president and CEO of NICE Actimize. "We continue to invest in developing innovative solutions and staying ahead of the various regulatory and criminal challenges facing the industry. With three leading positions, representing each of our core business areas, these rankings are proof of the continued market acceptance of NICE Actimize's solutions and are testimony that they effectively fight financial crime."
