NEW YORK and TORONTO and LONDON, Nov. 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Exiger, the global regulatory, financial crime, risk and compliance company, has been named RegTech Company of the Year at the Canadian FinTech and AI Awards for its AI-based regulatory technology — DDIQ. The judges recognized DDIQ as one of the most innovative and impactful technologies for transforming how financial institutions comply with financial crime regulations, worldwide.
