About

Featurespace is the inventor of Adaptive Behavioral Analytics and the award-winning ARIC Risk Hub. We're globally recognized as the industry expert in combatting financial crime.

Featurespace is dedicated to making the world a safer place for our clients and their customers. Financial crime is an enormous issue for society - technology can combat it.

With the support of our customers, we have developed market-leading solutions to fight financial crime - using real-time machine learning software powered by our invention - Adaptive Behavioral Analytics.

Our technology and results are recognized as the best worldwide for fighting financial crime. With our scientific roots, we couldn't make that claim if it had not been statistically verified - over and over again.

Our achievements are due to our collaborative approach and ability to attract and retain the best customers, talent, and investors. It's a rare achievement to bring new technology to market, to achieve financial success and - most importantly of all - to make customers proud to be using technology developed to outsmart the perpetrators of real-time financial crime.

Our story

Featurespace was created by a Cambridge University Professor, Bill Fitzgerald, and his Ph.D. student, Dave Excell, at the forefront of two academic fields: Data Science and Computer Science.

Teaching machines to act and to think like humans is an exciting recent breakthrough in these fields. Featurespace’s Adaptive Behavioral Analytics technology, invented by Bill and Dave, first left the Cambridge University Engineering Department in 2008, when Betfair asked Featurespace to build the first system to outwit fraud attacks by thinking like each one of their customers.

Our culture

We cultivate an innovative, fun and positive team atmosphere. We challenge each other to find new solutions to client problems and our work is constantly evolving as our business grows. We share an enthusiasm for technical innovation and we’re interested in the outcomes you achieve, not just the hours you put in. We work hard, but flexible. We’re focused but we take time out to have fun as a team. We're driven by our passion to outwit criminals with technology. We are dedicated to out-performing the technologies our clients have used before - and to support their drive to protect their own companies and consumers. Achieving these goals enables us to build a successful business.
