About Vital4
Financial crime is evolving.
So is the way we fight it.
Vital4 is more than a data provider — we’re an AI company redefining how organizations meet regulatory requirements and fight financial crime across industries like fintech and financial services.
Our platform automates global screening and monitoring for anti-money laundering (AML) compliance — including sanctions, politically exposed persons (PEPs), and adverse media — while also delivering critical insights to prevent fraud and reputational risk.
Powered by patent-pending contextual entity extraction and intelligent automation, Vital4 eliminates false positives, reduces manual effort, and delivers the intelligence that matters most.
We don’t just deliver data — we empower action. Vital4 is committed to building a safer, more transparent financial ecosystem by protecting people, organizations, and the integrity of the global economy.

Since Global RADAR partnered with Vital4 in 2021 to provide critical data for our Sanctions Screening solutions, we have been able to provide enhanced global data coverage, in real time, resulting in a reduction of false positives for our customer of up to 80%. This has directly resulted in a drastic reduction in remediation time for our customers who process millions of records every day, which results in millions in savings annually. Not only does this save our customers time, money, and risk of reputational damage, but it has dramatically increased our ability to accurately detect and prevent financial crime.

When we moved over to Vital4 in 2021, we were looking for a new provider to fill the shoes of our previous partner as they were taking their data private. Vital4 stepped in, provided a comprehensive list of the data they sourced. The data not only matched but exceeded what we were originally getting. The Vital4 team has been supportive of our business opportunities, responding quickly to client dataset questions, which in turn allows us to sell more of their services. In 2022, Orange Tree acquired 2 businesses, we have since expanded the use of Vital4 as a partner to both divisions. We look forward to a continued long-term partnership.
