FinQub
Unit21 alternative

The record your case work lands on, not another case manager.

Unit21 is a strong fraud, AML, and case-management platform. FinQub is the single source of truth for fintech risk decisions: one record per customer that every vendor signal lands on, plus the dispositions Unit21 produces. Keep Unit21 for investigations, and own the record an examiner queries, including the decisions that never became a case.

Different categories, partial overlap.

Unit21 owns the case. FinQub owns the record the case is built from, including the decisions that never became a case.

Unit21

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.

FinQub

The record beneath your vendors

One record per customer that every vendor signal lands on, across KYC, KYB, payments, banking, fraud, and sanctions, plus the dispositions Unit21 and your other case tools produce. You keep your vendor accounts. Every decision, override, and policy version stays on the record, queryable and exportable when the examiner asks.

Best for: teams running multi-vendor stacks who want one record beneath every decision, and who want Unit21 to read from, and write dispositions back to, that record.

When to pick which

Pick Unit21 if

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, and you do not need a record across the vendors outside Unit21.
Pick FinQub if

You need one record beneath every vendor, and Unit21 is one tool that reads from it

  • • Your stack spans identity, payments, banking, fraud, and sanctions, and no single tool holds the whole picture.
  • • You want to keep your vendor accounts. Run Unit21 for cases, Onfido for KYC, Plaid for banking, all landing on one record.
  • • You need the decisions that never became a case, the 80 to 94% that close without escalation, on the record an examiner can query.
  • • You want every decision exportable as a signed exam packet, with the dispositions Unit21 produces written back to the same record.
