Financial crime prevention effectiveness testing platform Cable unveiled Transaction Assurance this week.
Transaction Assurance automates effectiveness testing. This ensures that all transactions are both monitored and tested.

Effectiveness testing platform Cable has launched its financial crime compliance and transacting testing solution, Transaction Assurance. The new offering automates effectiveness testing to ensure that all transactions are both monitored and tested for potential regulatory breaches or control failures. This helps banks, fintechs, and payment platforms avoid the limitations of manual dip sampling.
Cable founder and CEO Natasha Vernier explained that the recent spate of compliance lapses – and the billions in fines paid by major institutions for these lapses – have revealed specific problems in financial crime prevention methods, including the way these processes are tested.
“These cases have brought to light gaps in existing protocols, including systemic failures in manual testing,” Vernier said. “These industry shortcomings are why we developed Transaction Assurance. It helps illuminate the vast, often untested expanse of transactional data, bringing that previously unseen 99% into sharp focus.”
Transaction Assurance acts as a sophisticated translation layer. The solution amplifies the effectiveness of first-line control systems by synthesizing and testing data in real-time. This ensures continuous adherence to an institution’s policies and controls. Transaction Assurance delivers actionable insights and alerts, as well as detailed reporting and analytics. This gives managers maximum transparency with regards to the institution’s compliance status.
“It is either Cable or four more people,” Steven Eisenhauer, Chief Risk and Compliance Officer for Ramp Network, a Cable client, explained. “No one questions the expense for that reason. For our size and volume, you would expect a larger team, but we have literally tested more transactions than all of our competitors.” Ramp Network and Cable announced their partnership in February.
Cable made its Finovate debut last year at FinovateFall. At the conference, the company demoed its Automated Assurance solution that enables banks and fintechs to automate their compliance assurance and effectiveness testing. The company’s technology also streamlines a number of manual compliance processes including stakeholder reporting and record management.
This year, Cable has forged partnerships with credit card company Yonder, digital bank Grasshopper and, in October, with unsecured business and personal loan specialist BHG Financial.
Founded in 2020, Cable introduced new Chief Revenue Officer Candace Sjogren in August. Sjogren most recently served as SVP, Global Head of Sales at crypto-as-a-service company Zero Hash. Cable has raised more than $16 million in funding, according to Crunchbase. This includes $11 million in a Series A investment from CRV, Jump Capital, and Stage 2 Capital announced in May.
