Sandbar: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

To more effectively detect illicit activities, Sandbar creates effective anti-money laundering (AML) software. Less than 1% of the estimated $6 trillion in annual criminal money laundering is discovered. We standardise millions of jumbled data points, process them to provide better results, and then perform a sophisticated set of proprietary calculations meant to spot suspect behaviour. By providing risk teams with the information they need right at their fingertips, our platform empowers them by automatically monitoring activities. We make information accessible, provide user-friendly procedures, and enable customised processing. Doing better can lessen the work and expense involved in creating and maintaining internal AML procedures as well as cut off money for terrorists, human traffickers, kidnappers, con artists, and other criminal actors.

About FundedIQ's Sandbar Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Sandbar is left off this page rather than filled in.
