CompareZovos vs Abrigo

Zovos vs Abrigo

Abrigo serves more than 2,400 financial institutions with BSA/AML and fraud detection, sanctions screening, credit risk, CECL and lending software, and it is rolling out AI assistants and an agentic platform. Zovos is a governance, risk and compliance system. It runs the AML/CFT program on the five pillars, with its risk assessment and evidence, rather than monitoring transactions, so the two can work side by side.

Where it differs

Monitoring, or the program around it.

01

Program, not monitoring

With Abrigo

BAM+ monitors transactions and scores alerts, and Intelligent Scan screens against sanctions and enforcement lists.

In Zovos

Zovos runs the AML/CFT program on the five pillars, with a risk assessment that flags material change and evidence ready for the exam.

02

The rest of the program

With Abrigo

We found no regulatory change, policy, vendor risk or internal audit product on its site.

In Zovos

Regulatory change, policies, third-party risk, findings and internal audit share one record with the AML/CFT program.

03

Exams and findings

With Abrigo

We found no exam management or examiner access.

In Zovos

Examiners get scoped, time-boxed access, and no finding closes without remediation evidence and a second approver.

Choose Zovos if

You need to govern the AML/CFT program and the rest of compliance, risk and audit in one system. Many institutions will want both.
