Themis, the award-winning financial crime prevention platform, announced its continued expansion in the Middle East, opening a new office in Bahrain and significantly growing its presence in the United Arab Emirates. This move underscores the region’s continued leadership in adopting cutting-edge technology and setting global standards in financial crime risk management.

‍

Within creased regulatory focus, cross-border cooperation, and a commitment to innovation, the Middle East is rapidly becoming a global beacon for financial crime best practice. Themis’s expansion supports this mission, bringing AI-powered due diligence, screening, and investigative solutions closer to regional businesses, financial institutions, and governments.

‍

“Our growth in the region is a direct response to strong demand for practical, scalable and intelligent solutions that help organisations protect themselves and their customers from financial crime,” said Lizzie Stewart, Head of Operations at Themis. “Our local teams are working hand-in-hand with clients every day, ensuring they not only meet regulatory expectations but stay one step ahead of evolving threats.”

The new Bahrain office enhances Themis’s ability to serve clients across the Gulf, complementing its growing team in Abu Dhabi. These offices will bolster delivery across sales, customer success and technology, bringing product innovation and operational excellence closer to where it matters most.

‍

As governments and institutions across the GCC double down on combatting financial crime and embracing responsible AI, Themis remains committed to supporting this ambition—with technology that’s trusted, powerful, and built for impact.
