Neo4j is being used by Ria Money Transfer, a financial services company, to fight financial crime and improve compliance. Miguel Aguado, Compliance Director at Ria Money Transfer, has been using Neo4j for the last few years to manage the financial investigation unit and has seen surprising results from its use, including the ability to identify hidden trends and networks in data that were previously unknown. Aguado advises others getting started with Neo4j to spend time deciding on a suitable data model, as this is key to success with graph technology. In the future, Aguado expects regulators to increasingly require companies to use graph technology to combat financial crime and prevent money laundering, making it a mandatory tool for compliance.
