Apollo Fintech, a South Africa-based provider of financial technology services, has announced that it will use ThetaRay for international money transfer monitoring purposes.

It will apply Sonar to its new service, which is known as Knox Wire.

Knox Wire operates in the bank-to-bank space.

It allows 30,000 financial organisations around the world to provide clients with almost real-time transactions to more than 200 nations.

It also allows for 150 currencies to be used, and for transaction costs to be reduced.

In a statement, a senior figure at Apollo Fintech pointed out that the company had a mission to provide the strongest possible service.

Stephen McCullah, who is the chief executive officer there, also said that it wanted to provide the fastest service.

“Apollo Fintech has a mission to exceed the highest industry capabilities and offer the safest, fastest, and most feature-rich products possible,” he said. 

He added that Knox Wire was there to create a new international standard.

“Knox Wire was built to set a new global standard for network size and settlement speed,” he explained.

He also said that using ThetaRay would allow for an expansion of “partner financial institutions”.

“The ThetaRay solution will allow Apollo Fintech to expand our network of partner financial institutions by relying on a best-in-class AML and screening solution,” he explained.

For ThetaRay, meanwhile, the chief executive officer there, Mark Gazit, said that the company was delighted about the new pairing.

“We are thrilled to launch this partnership and provide Apollo with a growth engine for new business,” he said.

He added that Apollo would be able to enhance trust in the international finance world through this collaboration.
