Salv has become a Supporting Member of the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA), joining a worldwide coalition of banks, technology firms, regulators, law enforcement bodies and consumer protection groups tackling scams and financial crime.
The company frames the decision as a practical one rather than a gesture. Fraudsters routinely spread their activity across several banks simultaneously, routing funds through webs of accounts that no individual firm can fully observe. Even an institution with first-rate defences is limited to its own partial view. GASA's purpose is to bridge that visibility gap by linking anti-crime professionals across industries and jurisdictions.
Salv's technology brings together screening, transaction monitoring and risk scoring alongside inter-institutional intelligence sharing, with the aim of lowering false positives, easing manual workloads and exposing genuine threats more quickly. Its network product, Salv Bridge, links organisations so they can check known-suspicious individuals at onboarding, examine flagged payments from both ends of a transfer, and assemble a threat picture richer than any single firm could produce on its own.
Cross-institution cooperation has long been endorsed in theory across the sector but rarely delivered in reality, hampered by legal uncertainty and wariness between competing firms. That picture is shifting, driven both by regulation and by the networked nature of modern financial crime, which demands an equally connected response.
From 2027, Article 75 of the EU's Anti-Money Laundering Regulation and Article 83a of the Payment Services Regulation will make cross-border intelligence sharing compulsory. Salv has operated and scaled compliant data sharing for more than 100 financial institutions over five years, and it is now offering that experience, along with the governance and legal foundations underpinning it, to the wider GASA community as European institutions shift towards collective defence.
Salv co-founder and CEO Taavi Tamkivi said, 'Fighting financial crime is a team sport. It takes the whole industry working together to actually make a difference. Salv has joined GASA because the people who understand this problem need a way to find each other, share what they're seeing, and act on it together. That's what we've been building toward from the start, because none of these problems get solved in isolation. Wherever real collaboration is happening is where we belong.'
