Discover how KOHO is revolutionizing financial crime detection with AI, boosting efficiency and accuracy while setting new standards for responsible tech use in Canada’s financial sector.
AI is playing a key role in transforming how the financial industry is detecting and combating financial crime. Fintech company, KOHO, is at the forefront of these innovations. KOHO’s #generativeAI solution, Kortex, built on AWS Bedrock, is transforming how they analyze and report suspicious transactions to FINTRAC, Canada's financial intelligence unit. Previously the team spent hours, or even days, combing through thousands of transactions for complex investigations, a process that is now happening 13 times faster. In addition to optimizing speed, the team is seeing improved accuracy in reporting and reduced cognitive fatigue in the analysis. Not only is KOHO optimizing business operations, but they’re also contributing to the overall integrity of Canada’s financial system and are an example of how AI can be used responsibly for financial security.

We’re all in on remote work, and it’s just one of the many reasons that make working at KOHO so special.
KOHO is not going back to the office. Two things are missing from the debate; The value exchange of remote is very different if you’re not in SF/NY. We have access to execs we never could have hired if we were constrained to local markets. There are definitely times when it’s beneficial to be in the same room but it’s not all the time, and it’s certainly not 'min 3 days a week'. There are times when it's super helpful (kickoffs, retros, firefights etc) and there are times when it's marginally negative. We're trying to be precise about this. Our model; Our exec team gets together every 6 weeks for a 2-3 day offsite. We use this time to jam, plan and connect. We’re gradually washing pods through so most/all teams are staffed locally. Regional owners are expected to organize coworking during key moments. As folks turnover, we’ll increasingly backfill locally. Fully ramped we should have ~10 satellite offices based on local teams and they’ll get together, as needed (probably 3-5 times a quarter). And quiet part out loud; there are a lot of young parents at KOHO. I see my kids 10x more than if I were commuting every day and I think that’s true for many of our folks. That’s worth a lot to me. Even if we accept the premise that it means we’ll grow slower (I don’t), that time is worth a couple points on growth. We're not going back 🤷♂️
