NICE Actimize has been recognised as a Leader in enterprise fraud management solutions in Asia Pacific by Forrester Research, according to the analyst's latest regional market report.
In "The Forrester Wave: Enterprise Fraud Management Solutions In Asia Pacific, Q4 2025", Forrester included NICE Actimize among what it described as the sector's most significant vendors. NICE Actimize said it received the highest possible scores across seven criteria in the current offering category.
Those criteria included new-account and digital channel fraud management, analyst investigations, and model explainability and governance. The rankings place the company prominently in a market where banks and other financial institutions are seeking tools to detect fraud across digital onboarding, payments, and broader customer activity.
The report also highlighted aspects of the company's product design, stating: "NICE Actimize excels in model explainability and governance with no-code visual authoring, traceable logic, score decomposition, variable contribution views, version control, audit trails, and regulator-ready summaries."
Enterprise fraud management software helps financial institutions monitor transactions, assess suspicious behaviour, and support case investigations. Demand in Asia Pacific has grown as banks expand digital services and face pressure to manage fraud risks across mobile, online, and branch channels.
NICE Actimize is part of NICE and focuses on fraud prevention, financial crime detection, and regulatory compliance. The business says it serves more than 1,000 organisations in over 70 countries.
Regional focus
Asia Pacific has become an important battleground for fraud technology providers as financial services groups invest in systems that can handle both rising transaction volumes and more complex attack patterns. Vendors are also under pressure to show that models used in decision-making can be clearly explained and governed, particularly as institutions face scrutiny from regulators and internal risk teams.
That emphasis on explainability featured in Forrester's assessment. Alongside fraud detection, the firm pointed to governance tools such as traceable logic, version control, and audit trails, which are increasingly important as institutions review how automated fraud decisions are made.
The company linked the recognition to its wider strategy in the region. "NICE Actimize continues to make a significant commitment to the Asia Pacific market with its fraud and financial crime solutions roadmap. We have substantially invested in offering the industry's most advanced enterprise fraud solutions available," said Craig Costigan, Chief Executive Officer of NICE Actimize.
Costigan added: "We are honored that Forrester has recognized us as a leader in its 2025 enterprise fraud management solutions report focused on the Asia Pacific market."
Competitive market
Market rankings from analyst firms are closely watched by technology buyers in banking and payments, particularly when procurement teams are comparing providers on product breadth, investigative workflows, and governance controls. In fraud management, institutions typically look for systems that can identify suspicious activity quickly while reducing false positives that burden analysts and disrupt customers.
NICE Actimize said its fraud management platform applies artificial intelligence across detection, strategy, investigations, operations, and data orchestration. It described the platform as central to its approach to real-time fraud prevention across the customer lifecycle.
For banks operating in Asia Pacific, the challenge is not limited to a single fraud type. They often must manage risks spanning account opening, account takeover, card fraud, payment scams, and digital channel abuse while maintaining compliance across multiple jurisdictions. That has increased demand for platforms that can combine monitoring, case management, and model oversight in a single environment.
NICE, the parent group, sells software used in customer engagement, automation, and analytics. Within that portfolio, NICE Actimize is positioned as the unit focused on financial services crime and fraud issues, an area where buying decisions are often shaped by both operational efficiency and regulatory expectations.
The Forrester evaluation singled out the company's performance in seven current offering criteria, with top marks in areas including new-account and digital channel fraud management, analyst investigations, and model explainability and governance.
