Tookitaki

Tookitaki is a Singapore regtech vendor founded in 2015 by Abhishek Chatterjee and Jeeta Bandopadhyay, with offices in Bengaluru, Kuala Lumpur, Manila and Charlotte. It sells AML and fraud detection software to banks, digital banks, e-wallets and payment firms in Asia-Pacific, where local typologies such as mule networks and scam transfers are poorly covered by rule sets designed for Western markets.

Its FinCense platform combines transaction monitoring, name and payment screening, an onboarding risk suite, customer risk scoring, an alert-prioritisation AI agent and a case manager. Detection logic is fed by the AFC Ecosystem, a shared repository of financial crime typologies contributed by compliance practitioners across the region and pushed back into customer deployments. The company reports over 100 billion transactions analysed and 200 million accounts monitored, and names UOB, Maya, GXS Bank, GoTyme Bank, PayMongo and Thunes among its customers. It has raised a USD 19m Series A and a USD 45m Series B.
