Verdict
Alloy lies between financial institutions and their data vendors. Staff reach 270+ third-party solutions that run from credit bureaus to checks on documents and devices, and build policies for fraud, onboarding, credit and AML in a visual editor. The testing suite is notable: backtesting against historical data, shadow testing, versioned rollbacks and champion-challenger tests capped at five versions.
Compliance is handled in that same place, including sanctions screening, perpetual monitoring, KYC and KYB, case management for AML, and SAR filing with FinCEN inside the product. Costs are more difficult to assess: Alloy publishes no prices, while the latest funding it announced dates from 2022. A large share of the data underneath comes from partners, and coverage follows which vendors each customer switches on.
