In this episode of FintechTalks, host Sanjib Kalita sits down with Rhim Shah, Co-Founder and CEO of Arva AI, live at Fintech Meetup.

Arva AI is using agentic AI to automate financial crime compliance operations across banks and financial institutions, including BSA/AML workflows, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, onboarding reviews, and investigations.

Rhim shares how his background in machine learning and experience leading financial crime product at Revolut shaped the idea for Arva AI, why compliance operations are still heavily manual, and how AI can help reduce false positives while maintaining the accuracy, explainability, and trust required in highly regulated environments.
