CASCADE 2.0: Integrating AI Where It Matters

We’re excited to share that development is underway for CASCADE 2.0, our next major platform update; a key part of this release will be the thoughtful integration of AI-powered features.

As always, our focus remains on delivering practical value to our users, not on following trends, including buzzwords in our communication, or adding complexity for the sake of innovation. 

That’s why we are taking a deliberate approach to integrating AI, focusing on areas where it can genuinely improve efficiency and user experience, simplify workflows, and save time, without driving up costs unnecessarily.

CASCADE 2.0 is being built at the intersection of meaningful innovation and practical implementation; we are working on features that will bring real value at the right cost.

Where will AI make a difference in CASCADE 2.0? Some of the features we are working on:

• Pre-classification of name screening hits: Instead of requiring users to manually justify why a hit is a false positive, the system will automatically identify and prepopulate discrepancies (such as differing dates of birth or nationalities) to allow users to simply approve the classification, significantly reducing the time spent on this task.
• Automatic Entry Creation: the system will analyze complex documents, such as incorporation statements and trade registers, to automatically generate new entries and participant networks.
• Risk Analysis Summary: AI will assist in drafting and condensing complex risk analysis reports, making them more accessible and actionable for users.
• Counterparty Risk Analysis: AI will help CASCADE to provide deeper insights into counterparty risks within intricate participant networks.

We will keep you posted on the next updates, stay tuned!

CASCADE IN THE MEDIA

Cascade was included in the FinCrimeTech50 list for 2025!

FinCrimeTech50 is the annual list of 50 of the world’s most innovative tech companies tackling financial crime and fraud prevention.

The list is curated by a panel of analysts and industry leaders, who evaluate over 500 nominated companies each year. The 2025 update highlights the next wave of solution providers combating money laundering and fraud in the financial sector. It serves as a valuable resource for executives and financial crime professionals to assess which solutions hold market potential and can effectively counteract fraud.

Selection criteria included the significance of the problem addressed, company growth metrics, technological innovation, potential cost savings, and the importance of awareness for financial institutions. 

Being recognized among the top 50 FinCrimeTech innovators in the world, after having been featured earlier this year on the 2025 RegTech 100 list, is a further testament to the incredible work of our team.

PEOPLE AND HIGHLIGHTS

Spotlight on AML & KYC

On May 22, Cascade co-hosted an AML/KYC-focused event alongside ACAMS Luxembourg Chapter and Alpha FMC at Novotel Luxembourg Kirchberg, gathering over 100 professionals from the compliance and financial crime sectors.

The session centered on the upcoming EU AML Package, with speakers offering a clear overview of expected regulatory changes and their impact on day-to-day compliance. A live demonstration illustrated how these developments translate into practical implementation.

The event reinforced the importance of proactive knowledge-sharing in an increasingly complex regulatory environment. 

At Cascade, we continue to support opportunities that bring compliance professionals together to stay ahead of evolving requirements and promote industry-wide collaboration.

Celebrating Collaboration

On June 4, Cascade and Domos FS hosted an afterwork event at INNSiDE by Meliá, to highlight the benefits of their integrated solutions for the financial services industry. 

The evening brought together industry professionals for informal discussions on how collaboration can drive operational efficiency and compliance innovation.

A highlight of the event was the presentation by Violeta Poledica, Head of Client Service at Tikehau Capital, who shared how the Cascade–Domos FS integration has created tangible value for her team.

This gathering marked an important step in fostering ongoing dialogue and collaboration around AML, compliance, and digital KYC—areas where joint innovation continues to play a key role.
