Themis

What Themis does

Themis International Services Ltd is a UK-headquartered (London and Guildford) financial crime risk-intelligence SaaS firm founded in 2018, employing 51-100 staff, and operating through wholly-owned subsidiary Themis MENA Ltd in the UAE. Its core product, the Themis Search and Monitoring platform launched in 2020, performs AI- and ML-powered screening of individuals and companies against sanctions, PEPs, criminal records, and adverse media, augmented by expert-led Enhanced Due Diligence investigations and a proprietary Financial Crime Search Engine, Risk Rating and Benchmarking Tool, Customer Risk Calculator, and an AI Investigator module that completes KYB investigations in minutes. The platform is delivered via tiered subscriptions (CORE with 60 screening credits, EXTENDED with 300 credits and 5 user licences, and a quote-based ENTERPRISE plan) supported by professional services (Investigations, Risk Intelligence, Policy Research, Insourcing), accredited digital training via the Themis Knowledge LMS, and paid publications such as £59.99 Country Risk Briefings.

The firm pursues a hybrid go-to-market combining product-led self-serve for SMBs with enterprise field sales for regulated organizations, augmented by 'Powered by Themis' white-label deployments (AMAN in MENA, Tathabbat in Saudi Arabia) and community-led engagement with bodies such as the UK Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, WWF, and the UK Modern Slavery Training Delivery Group. Customer base spans legal services (Appleby), brokerage (ATFX), impact investing (COOUK, Advance Global Capital), and dedicated verticals including Private Equity, Private Credit, Sovereign Wealth Funds, Free Trade Zones, Automotive, and UAE Real Estate, with Financial Services as the primary segment. Themis is B-Corp and Cyber Essentials Plus certified, is working toward ISO 27001, and has raised approximately $15.4M cumulatively across 2021, 2023 and December 2024 rounds; it acquired Pasabi in October 2025 to extend into fake-account and review-broker fraud detection.

Revenue is generated through software subscriptions (recurring), one-time training and publication purchases, professional services engagements, and a freemium lead-generation tier of five free credits. Pricing ranges from a free monthly tier through paid monthly subscriptions for SMBs to multi-year enterprise contracts, with enterprise pricing quoted based on organizational requirements.
