AUSTRIACARD Holdings AG Announces the Launch of Its Digital Taskforce for Anti-Money Laundering AUSTRIACARD HOLDINGS AG announced the launch of its Digital Taskforce for Anti-Money Laundering (AML), a pioneering solution based on Agentic AI architecture that redefines how financial institutions tackle money laundering.

These agents simulate the work of multiple analysts in parallel, accelerating investigations, enhancing accuracy, and drastically reducing manual effort. This advanced AML solution offers: Instant unlawful transaction flagging; Continuous discovery of new money laundering patterns; Automated sharing of new money laundering patterns among financial institutions (without sharing raw data); Easy scalability by deploying multiple AI agent replicas as needed; Fully on-premise operation -- ensuring full control, data sovereignty and security, even in air-gapped network environments with no internet access. The first public presentation of the Digital Taskforce for AML takes place at Money 20/20 Europe, held 3-5 June at RAI Amsterdam. A dedicated team of 12 experts welcomes partners and stakeholders to a spacious booth, showcasing cutting-edge payment card innovations and real-world digital technology-use cases. A live demo of the AML solution is featured from day one, underlining the company's transition from a product supplier to a trusted end-to-end fintech solutions provider. Reported Earnings • May 21
