Cross-domain orchestration – not just fraud and case management.
Unit21 is a strong fraud, AML, and case-management platform with deep investigation tooling. FinQub is a fintech orchestration layer that spans KYC, KYB, payments, banking, fraud, sanctions, and communications – through one unified data model with tamper-evident audit evidence built in.
Different categories, partial overlap.
Unit21 is the case-management surface. FinQub is the orchestration layer that produces the cases.
Fraud, AML, and case-management platform
No-code rule builder for transaction monitoring, alert triage, and case management with strong investigation tooling. SAR / STR filing workflows. Dashboards and reporting built for analysts and BSA officers. Mature deployments across crypto, neobanks, and payments.
Best for: teams whose primary need is investigation and case management on top of transaction monitoring rules – with a dedicated analyst team that lives in the Unit21 UI.
Fintech orchestration layer (multi-vendor, multi-domain)
Cross-domain orchestration across KYC, KYB, payments, banking, fraud (orchestrating multiple monitoring vendors including Unit21 itself as a node), sanctions, and communications. Bring-your-own-credentials so you keep vendor contracts. One unified data model and one hash-chained audit trail across every vendor call.
Best for: teams running multi-vendor stacks who want one orchestration layer across categories – and want to feed Unit21 (or another case-management product) with structured, framework-tagged events from the orchestration layer.
FinQub vs Unit21
Side-by-side across the capabilities that matter for multi-vendor fintech compliance stacks.
| Capability | FinQub | Unit21 |
|---|---|---|
| KYC / identity orchestration | Onfido, Jumio, Persona, iDenfy, Sumsub, Veriff, more. Routing, failover, chaining. | Identity events flow into cases; not a KYC vendor orchestration layer. |
| KYB / business verification | Middesk, registry data, UBO resolution, document collection, e-sign – orchestrated end-to-end. | Business risk events handled in cases; not a KYB workflow engine. |
| Transaction monitoring (AML) | Via vendors orchestrated through FinQub – Unit21, NICE Actimize, Hawk AI, Sardine, internal. | Core product. No-code rules builder, real-time scoring, alert generation. |
| Case management & investigation | Workflow-level case routing; not a dedicated case-management UI. | Core product. Best-in-class investigation tooling, alert triage, SAR / STR filing. |
| Fraud decisioning | Orchestrates Sardine, Sift, SEON, internal models – chained with KYC, banking, and policy. | Real-time fraud rules with case management as the primary surface. |
| Payments & payouts orchestration | Stripe, PayPal, Mastercard, multi-rail routing, reconciliation. | Not in scope. |
| Open finance / banking aggregators | Plaid, Finicity, MX – unified transaction model, failover. | Not in scope as orchestration; consumes banking events for monitoring. |
| Communications & documents | Twilio, Microsoft Teams, DocuSign as first-class workflow nodes. | Not in scope. |
| Bring-your-own-credentials (BYOC) | Keep your vendor contracts. Swap monitoring vendors with one config change. | Customer can integrate own data sources; monitoring engine is Unit21's. |
| Unified cross-domain data model | Normalized schema across every vendor category. | Normalized within Unit21's case data model; cross-domain across third-party vendors not applicable. |
| Hash-chained tamper-evident audit trail | Built-in; exportable by framework, jurisdiction, workflow, time range. | Case audit history available; tamper-evident hash-chain depends on customer setup. |
| No-code visual workflow builder | Drag-and-drop across every vendor category. | Rules and case-routing builder for monitoring and investigation flows. |
| Market maturity | Pre-revenue, onboarding founding design partners. SOC 2 Type I in progress. | Series C, established customer base across crypto, neobanks, and payments. |
| Pricing model | Subscription + workflow-run overage. Starter / Pro / Enterprise. | Typically per-monitored-event pricing; enterprise contracts. |

When to pick which
Investigation and case management is the bottleneck
- • You have a dedicated AML / fraud analyst team that lives in a case-management UI all day.
- • SAR and STR filing workflows are central to compliance operations.
- • Transaction monitoring rules and alert triage are the dominant use cases.
- • You want a mature platform with a strong analyst-tooling surface, not a multi-vendor orchestration layer.
You need one orchestration layer across every fintech vendor – feeding cases is one of many jobs
- • Your fintech stack spans identity + payments + banking + fraud + comms – and managing N platforms is the structural problem.
- • You want to keep your vendor contracts. Run Unit21 for case management, Onfido for KYC, Plaid for banking – orchestrated together with one workflow engine.
- • Cross-domain workflows matter – KYB decisions feed monitoring rules, banking data triggers SAR review, identity changes update partner risk scores.
- • You want one tamper-evident audit trail across every vendor call, with framework-tagged events that flow into Unit21 (or another case product) as structured data – not screenshots and PDFs.
