About Featurespace

Featurespace is one of the world’s leading organisations in enterprise financial crime prevention for fraud and Anti-Money Laundering. Born out of Cambridge University, by Professor Bill Fitzgerald and Dave Excell, Featurespace invented Adaptive Behavioural Analytics and created the ARIC platform, a real-time machine learning software that risk scores events in more than 180 countries to prevent fraud and financial crime.

ARIC Risk Hub uses advanced, explainable anomaly detection to enable financial institutions to automatically identify risk, catch new fraud attacks and identify suspicious activity in real-time. More than 30 major global financial institutions are using ARIC to protect their business and their customers.

Featurespace's success emanates from the passion of putting its customers at the forefront of every decision. Behind this its core values are lived and breathed in each of its locations, as its global expansion continues from the UK to the USA and into APAC.

The culture of Featurespace has remained a consistent and crucial factor in times of intense growth and development. The fun, innovative and enigmatic team atmosphere is contagious and is what sets Featurespace apart from its competitors.

“Having read the “best companies to work for” league table for many years and admired the hard work of those receiving accolades, I’m bowled over to learn we have achieved an “outstanding” accreditation in our first year of entry. Congratulations to all of our team members at Featurespace and a huge thank you for your engagement in our company and our mission on behalf of our customers” - Martina King, CEO
