Sygno Secures Investment from TIN Capital and ROM Utrecht Region

Sygno, a leading AI specialist in the fight against fraud and money laundering, has received a strategic investment from TIN Capital and ROM Utrecht Region. This funding marks the next step in the development of Sygno’s explainable AI models, which help financial institutions detect suspicious transactions more quickly and reliably. 

Financial institutions are under increasing pressure to leverage AI to combat financial crime. However, in a tightly regulated environment, they face the challenge of maintaining control over their data while relying on explainable and verifiable models for decision-making. At the same time, a shortage of AI and ML specialists is hampering innovation in the sector. 

Sygno as a Transparent and European Alternative 

Sygno develops AI models that support financial institutions in detecting unusual transactions. The technology enhances existing transaction monitoring systems with AI, helping organisations structure their compliance processes more efficiently and reliably. What makes Sygno unique is that its models are fully explainable and automatically generated—reducing dependence on scarce AI and compliance expertise. Developed in Europe and operating on clients' own systems, the technology ensures full control over data and decision-making remains with the institution. 

Strengthens European Innovation in AI 

“The investment from TIN Capital and ROM Utrecht Region contributes to the further strengthening of Sygno’s technology and market approach,” said Sjoerd Slot, CEO of Sygno. “The support from these partners underscores the importance of reliable, ethical, and European alternatives within the AI sector.” 

Roel Reijnen, Partner at TIN Capital: “Following our investment through the Dutch Security Tech Fund in Sygno, we’re pleased that ROM Utrecht Region is now contributing to Sygno’s international growth. Financial institutions can significantly improve their approach to fraud and money laundering, and Sygno enables this without requiring changes to existing systems. This low-barrier approach is what makes Sygno successful.”
