About VeloRisk
Built by fraud and financial crime practitioners.
Because a risk program should be able to prove it works.
Who We Built This For
VeloRisk was built for regulated financial institutions — community banks, credit unions, fintechs, and money service businesses — that face the same examination standards as the largest institutions in the country, but without the same resources to meet them.
A community bank with 30 employees gets examined by the OCC or FDIC under the same BSA/AML standards as a bank with 3,000. A credit union with two branches faces the same NCUA expectations as one with fifty. The examination manual doesn't have a small-institution carve-out. But the way risk programs have historically been built (interviews, a report, a folder) was priced and structured for the largest players, and it produces a document, not proof.
Every institution should be able to prove its risk program works.
The Team Behind VeloRisk
VeloRisk was founded by Jesse McKenna, whose career spans fraud detection and financial crime prevention at eBay and PayPal; threat research and behavioral analytics at SilverTail Systems (acquired by RSA Security) and Neuro-ID (acquired by Experian); network security at vArmour (acquired by Fenix24), security risk program design at Blue Lava; and most recently money laundering detection and SAR prediction at Refine Intelligence. VeloRisk is the culmination of that experience.
Across that career, one pattern kept repeating: the largest institutions had sophisticated, well-resourced risk programs. Everyone else was working from downloaded checklists or one-time engagements, refreshed once a year at best. Fraud detection never worked that way. It ran continuously, because the threat did. Risk strategy never got the same treatment. The gap wasn't knowledge — it was method.
That experience is the foundation of how VeloRisk works. Findings are mapped to relevant guidance from the sources regulators and auditors actually cite — including FFIEC, FinCEN, FATF, NIST, and others.
Jesse built VeloRisk to make continuous, provable risk programs the default for every institution that needs one.
Why VeloRisk Exists
The institutions most at risk of examination findings are often the ones with the fewest resources to prepare for them. A BSA Officer at a community bank isn't going to conduct a sophisticated program assessment with a downloaded PDF and a spreadsheet — but that's frequently all that's available at a price point that makes sense for an institution their size.
VeloRisk was built to give those institutions the same depth of analysis and the same board-ready reporting the largest institutions expect, delivered as a living program and priced for a regional bank, a credit union, or a fintech navigating its first regulatory examination.
