Flagright, the AI‑native, no‑code platform for transaction monitoring and AML compliance, is pleased to welcome Scintilla as a client. Scintilla, a privately owned, fully licensed virtual‑asset exchange and broker/dealer in the UAE regulated by VAR will deploy Flagright’s real‑time Transaction Monitoring, Customer & Counterparty Risk Scoring, and Case Management to strengthen financial‑crime controls across tokenization, OTC stablecoin‑to‑fiat/crypto conversions, and exchange operations.

“Our business is built on trust, regulation, and execution,” said Tim Popplewell, CEO of Scintilla. “We chose Flagright because it gave us speed without sacrificing rigor. In a matter of weeks we can configure typologies for tokenization flows, OTC conversions, and exchange activity, monitor risk in real time, and document every decision end‑to‑end. That combination of agility and auditability is exactly what a regulated market participant in the UAE needs.”

Scintilla offers tokenization services, broker/dealer remittance and conversion capabilities, and exchange services for secondary trading. As activity scales, the firm is unifying detection and investigation in a single platform to meet UAE AML/CFT expectations and VARA’s supervisory requirements with confidence.

“Regulatory clarity and operational discipline are non‑negotiable for us,” added Janey Schueller, Chief Compliance Officer at Scintilla. “Flagright lets our compliance team own the rulebook with which we can the risk score counterparties dynamically, triage alerts intelligently, reconstruct complex transaction trails with AI forensics, and produce regulator‑ready evidence on demand. It elevates our risk‑based approach while keeping operations efficient.”

What Scintilla gains with Flagright

  • Real‑time transaction monitoring to detect risks before they become a threat, with no‑code rules and typologies tailored to tokenization, OTC conversions, remittances, and exchange activity.
  • Dynamic risk scoring for customers and counterparties that adapts to changing behavior and risk factors.
  • End‑to‑end case management, including work‑pool dashboards, intelligent triage, collaboration, and complete audit trails for investigations and regulatory reporting.
  • AI forensics to reconstruct transaction paths and accelerate investigations while reducing false positives.
  • Regulatory alignment with the UAE AML/CFT framework and FATF‑aligned guidance, supporting obligations under VARA supervision.

“Scintilla is building a best‑in‑class, fully licensed venue in one of the world’s most forward‑thinking jurisdictions,” said Baran Ozkan, Co‑founder and CEO of Flagright. “We’re excited to help them safeguard every transaction with a modern, configurable platform that goes live fast and scales with their growth.
