Mercury Payment Solutions and Arion Bank Select Fiserv Anti-Money Laundering Technology
Both organizations will implement AML Risk Manager solution
BROOKFIELD, Wis. & LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/AML?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#AMLlt;/agt;–Fiserv,
Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), a leading global provider of financial services
technology solutions, today announced that a payment scheme in the
Middle East and a universal bank in Iceland have chosen Fiserv
technology to streamline anti-money laundering (AML) processes and
effectively manage fraud risk.
Mercury Payment Services and Arion Bank were seeking a provider with
proven expertise and join more than 1,200 organizations worldwide that
rely on AML Risk Manager from Fiserv. Both will implement the solution
to address the four essential areas of an anti-money laundering risk
management program, including Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements;
monitoring, detection and alerts; case management; and reporting.
“Financial crime is continually evolving as criminals develop new
schemes and ways to execute them,” said Andrew Davies, vice president,
global market strategy, Financial Crime Risk Management, Fiserv.
“Successful risk mitigation depends on a firm’s ability to keep pace
with changing conditions and incorporate new intelligence at every step
of the process, and that requires adaptive, configurable technology.”
Mercury Payment Services, a payment scheme based in Dubai and part of
Network International, LLC, selected AML Risk Manager because it will
enable them to deploy AML capabilities more quickly and take advantage
of Fiserv expertise. Fiserv will manage the solution end-to-end,
including the administration of watch lists and sanctions screening,
helping to reduce overall costs and the need for in-house support. The
fact that AML Risk Manager can handle large transaction volumes and is
compliant with UAE Central Bank guidelines were also important
considerations for Mercury.
“Our rapid growth prompted a reevaluation of our AML strategy, and our
move to Fiserv,” said Deepak Achar, vice president, Mercury Payment
Services. “They listened to us and it was clear they understood our
specific needs. We have a small in-house team and working with Fiserv
enables us to operate more efficiently to detect and prevent fraud more
effectively.”
Arion Bank, a universal bank headquartered in Reykjavik, Iceland, chose
Fiserv as part of an initiative to enhance operational efficiency and
improve AML detection rates. The bank appreciated the advanced analytics
capabilities of AML Risk Manager, which help minimize false positives
and prioritize alerts, so employees can focus on fraud prevention
efforts.
“We needed a proven AML platform that would allow us to improve our
fraud detection rate while maximizing our team’s time,” said Nolan
Williams, head of financial crime, Arion Bank. “The robust functionality
of the Fiserv solution was a draw for us because it meant that we could
cut back on manual processes and focus our attention in the areas where
we can have the most impact.”

Apollo Green to distribute Humboldt Seed Company clonal cannabis genetics to Germany, Portugal and Australia
SAN FRANCISCO, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Humboldt Seed Company (HSC), California’s leading cannabis seed producer, has announced a partnership with Canadian-based Apollo Green to make eight breeder cuts available to researchers, licensed commercial cultivators and home growers in legal markets worldwide. This first-to-market clonal genetics release is a significant milestone and will expand access to distinctive, high-quality cannabis genetics in both established and emerging global markets including Germany, Portugal and Australia.
The curated, breeder-verified selection includes pioneering triploid genetics, such as OG Triploid and Donutz Triploid alongside the legendary cult classic Blueberry Muffin. Also available are All Gas OG with a THC content of 21% and four high-THC strains in the 30-35% range: Golden Sands, Guzzlerz, Jelly Donutz and Orange Creampop. These selections represent the top .01% from HSC’s extensive California pheno-hunting program.
Exports will begin in May under Apollo Green’s Canadian federal cannabis license. All shipments have Canadian phytosanitary certification, ensuring plants have been inspected, and are clean and free of pests.
“Access for all to quality genetics has been our core focus since the beginning,” said HSC Co-founder and Chief Science Officer, Benjamin Lind. “Our science-based approach to breeding aligns perfectly with Apollo Green’s high standards and we are excited to be able to extend these hand-selected cuts to a wider audience, especially at this pivotal time where we’re seeing positive regulatory changes globally.”
Oisin Tierney, Apollo Green Director of Business Development, said, “California has long been recognized for setting industry standards, and we are proud to play a role in bringing these esteemed genetics to cultivators worldwide. The triploids are especially noteworthy in terms of the unprecedented potential for enhanced plant vigor, higher yields, shorter flowering times and superior returns for solventless extraction.”
