Build vs. Buy: Benchmarking Financial Crime Prevention Platforms Across Cost, Scale and Risk
Financial institutions are investing heavily in unified fraud and anti-money laundering (AML) platforms to strengthen detection, meet regulatory obligations and enhance customer experience. In making these investments, the route chosen, whether to build the platform internally or buy from a specialist vendor, has a material impact on cost, time-to-value, scalability and risk. Yet, independent, like-for-like research comparing the two approaches has been limited, leaving business leaders without clear benchmarks.
To address this gap, LexisNexis® Risk Solutions commissioned Chartis Research in Q2 2025 to conduct a global survey of senior decision-makers spanning risk and compliance, technology and architecture, and data leadership. The study compared and analyzed self-built and vendor-bought deployments on operational value, cost and return on investment (ROI), scalability, and implementation risk.
