Product Updates October 2025

October has been a busy month for FinCense, with several updates to the back-end that will enhance security and efficiency for compliance and anti-money laundering teams globally. ‍

‍From better user onboarding and management, to more efficient architecture, the FinCense family is being continually improved to better address the risks and challenges of the modern fintech environment.

Additional Products Migrated to New Architecture

Our initiative to modernise our system architecture has now expanded to include Prospect Scoring and Screening, as well as Transaction Screening.

These products will now enjoy the benefits of Kubernetes-managed containerised micro services, with elastic compute, improved isolation and enhanced deployment tooling. In particular, these products will experience better performance during peak scoring or screening workloads, and fewer outages from resource contention due to the improved resource isolation and independent scaling that the new architecture enables.

In addition, all products on the new architecture will benefit from a standardised deployment process, resulting in reduced deployment time and consistent set-up experience. Each product instance will also benefit from Kubernetes-native security with automatic patching, container-level isolation, and improved secrets management.

Keycloak Authentication and Authorisation

Our latest release versions now integrate Keycloak, a centralised authentication provider, across the full suite of FinCense products. With Keycloak tokens, expiry, refresh logic, and role validation are now handled via a secure backend handshake with the Keycloak server. Our products have transitioned from legacy login mechanisms to a standards-compliant IAM platform, with the following capabilities:

‍

  • OAuth2 / OpenID Connect (OIDC) support
  • Single Sign-On (SSO) across all FinCense micro services
  • Role-based access control (RBAC) centrally managed via Keycloak
  • Token-based session management with configurable expiry
  • Secure login flows with optional multi-factor support
  • Tighter integration with customer IT environments using Keycloak federation and identity brokering
  • Future extensibility for features like login attempt monitoring, SAMLSSO, and LDAP integration

Impact to Our Clients

  • Ultra‑scale screening throughput: Horizontal scaling supports a 100M+ profile/client base for screening without impacting latency.
  • Handles skewed merchant patterns: Designed for highly skewed datasets and 1M+ transaction bursts to maintain effective detection scenarios.
  • More stable peak operations: Improved isolation and self‑healing reduce noisy‑neighbour effects and lower the risk of outages during peak windows.

Impact to Our Clients

  • Less login friction, more productivity: SSO across FinCense apps lets users move seamlessly between modules during investigations.
  • Stronger compliance posture: Centralised RBAC and unified audit trails simplify access reviews and evidence gathering for audits.
  • Faster onboarding and offboarding: Directory sync and brokering mean role changes take effect quickly and consistently across products.

Impact to Our Clients

  • Faster analyst workflows: Localised data capture and display reduce manual translation and context‑switching for multilingual teams.
  • Cross‑jurisdiction consistency: Standardised handling for RTL and CJK scripts improves data quality and reduces re‑entry errors across regions.
  • Better collaboration with partners: Local‑language exports and reports make it easier to share findings with local regulators and counterparties.
