Verafin vs. Unit21
Looking for a Verafin Alternative?
Both Verafin and Unit21 provide comprehensive solutions for fraud and money laundering detection, but they differ in their approaches to data and process integration.
With Verafin, organizations need to adapt their data and processes to fit Verfafin’s predefined data schema and rules. In contrast, Unit21 offers a more customizable solution, allowing organizations to tailor the infrastructure to their specific risk profiles and needs.
If you are in search of a Verafin alternative that allows you to:
- Leverage diverse data sources such as third-party providers and custom data sets
- Create, modify, and customize rules that align with your risk profile, compliance regulations, and business objectives
- Optimize investigation workflows by enabling investigators to organize, track, and prioritize cases effectively
Then you should take a look at Unit21’s infrastructure for fraud and AML teams. With Unit21, you can:
- Implement in three months or less with seamless data integrations
- Empower your teams to configure and adapt scenarios, rules, and workflows independently, reducing the ongoing need for vendor involvement
- Automate repetitive or manual tasks by leveraging automation to streamline data gathering, document generation, and other routine processes

Unit21’s Superpowers
Rapid Deployment
Verafin customers endure lengthy implementations of up to a year. In contrast, Unit21 offers streamlined integration without rigid data formatting, enabling quicker adoption and eliminating the need for extensive customization.
Additionally, our self-service approach gives organizations more autonomy in configuring our infrastructure, further enhancing the efficiency of the implementation process.
Lower False Positives
Verafin’s platform is notorious for generating repetitive alerts with a significant number of false positives. In comparison, Unit21 customers can utilize shadow mode to assess the performance and impact of rules without disrupting live operations.
More Efficient Investigations
We’ve heard that Verafin customers have to export to Excel to work on alerts. Unit21 provides an integrated solution that enables a seamless flow of information between the two functions.
The integration allows users to have a holistic view of each case by providing access to both the transaction data and associated case details in one place.
