How It Works

From data to dashboard in three steps

Skip the months-long ETL setup. Knowi connects directly to your infrastructure and gets you to insights in minutes.

1

Connect to financial data sources

Plug directly into PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Snowflake, Elasticsearch, and payment APIs like Stripe and Plaid. Query transactional data where it lives, no ETL, no data movement.

2

Blend transactions with context

Join payment records with customer profiles, risk scores, and compliance data in a single query. Cross-source joins work across SQL, NoSQL, and REST API boundaries.

3

Monitor, alert, and embed

Build real-time dashboards for internal ops or embed them into your fintech product. Set up anomaly detection for fraud patterns and threshold alerts for compliance triggers.

Capabilities

What can you do with fintech analytics on Knowi?

Connect payment systems, monitor transactions in real time, and automate compliance reporting, without building a data pipeline first.

Monitor payment transactions in real time

Visualize payment flows, settlement times, and transaction volumes as they happen. Set dashboard refresh intervals down to seconds so operations teams see live data from Stripe, Plaid, or custom payment processors.

Detect fraud and transaction anomalies automatically

Knowi's built-in ML anomaly detection flags unusual transaction patterns, velocity spikes, geo mismatches, and amount outliers, and sends alerts to Slack, email, or webhook with full context, not just a threshold number.

Automate SOX, PCI, and AML compliance reports

Schedule recurring compliance reports for AML, KYC, SOX, and PCI-DSS requirements. Reports generate automatically in PDF or CSV, scoped to role-based permissions, and deliver via email on the cadence your compliance team needs.

Join MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and REST API data without ETL

Combine transaction databases, CRM records, risk scoring APIs, and third-party data providers in a single query. Knowi natively queries MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, Elasticsearch, and any REST API, no staging tables or data warehouse required.

Embed analytics dashboards inside your fintech app

Ship white-labeled dashboards directly into your product using iFrame, JavaScript SDK, or encrypted URL embedding. SSO integration and row-level security ensure each customer sees only their own financial data.

Deploy on-prem to keep financial data in your infrastructure

Keep sensitive financial data inside your own network. Knowi supports Docker, Kubernetes, and native installs with full GPU support for AI features, meeting the data residency requirements that cloud-only BI tools like Tableau Cloud cannot.

Why Knowi

What other tools can’t do

Most analytics tools require a warehouse. Knowi connects directly to your data and gives your team AI, anomaly detection, and cross-source analytics out of the box.

Query financial data where it lives

No need to copy sensitive transaction data into a third-party warehouse. Knowi connects directly to your production databases and APIs, reducing compliance surface area.

Less data movement means less risk.

Real-time, not batch

Fintech moves in milliseconds. Knowi dashboards refresh in seconds, not hours. Anomaly detection runs continuously, not on yesterday's data.

Batch reporting is for banks. You're building fintech.

Embed analytics into your product

Ship portfolio dashboards, transaction views, and spending insights directly to your customers. White-label everything, they see your brand, not ours.

Turn analytics into a product feature, not a cost center.

SOC 2 Type II and on-prem options

Knowi's cloud is SOC 2 Type II certified. Or deploy in your own VPC for full data sovereignty. Your compliance team gets what they need either way.

Security review goes faster when the vendor already has the certs.

Data Connectivity

Connect to everything. Join across anything.

No warehouse required. Knowi connects directly to your operational databases, APIs, and files.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about fintech analytics on Knowi

How do I connect payment transaction data to an analytics dashboard?
Knowi connects natively to the databases fintech companies actually use, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, Elasticsearch, and ClickHouse, plus REST APIs for Stripe, Plaid, Marqeta, and custom payment processors. You set up a connection in minutes, write a query (or use the visual query builder), and transaction data flows directly into dashboards. No ETL pipeline, no staging database, no waiting on a data engineering team.
Can Knowi detect fraud in real-time transaction data?
Yes. Knowi includes built-in ML-based anomaly detection that runs continuously on streaming transaction data. It flags unusual patterns, transaction velocity spikes, geographic mismatches, abnormal amounts and sends alerts to Slack, email, PagerDuty, or any webhook endpoint. Unlike standalone fraud tools, Knowi lets you blend transaction data with CRM and risk-scoring sources in the same alert rule for richer context.
How do I automate SOX and PCI compliance reporting for fintech?
Knowi lets you build scheduled compliance reports that generate automatically in PDF or CSV format and deliver via email on a daily, weekly, or monthly cadence. Reports are scoped to role-based permissions, so each compliance team member sees only the data they are authorized to access. You can configure report templates for SOX audit trails, PCI-DSS transaction monitoring, AML suspicious activity summaries, and KYC verification status dashboards.
How does Knowi compare to Tableau or Power BI for fintech analytics?
Knowi differs from Tableau and Power BI in three ways that matter for fintech. First, Knowi queries NoSQL databases like MongoDB natively, Tableau and Power BI require you to flatten data into a relational format first, which loses nested transaction detail. Second, Knowi does cross-source joins at query time without requiring a centralized data warehouse, so you can blend Stripe API data with your PostgreSQL risk tables in one query. Third, Knowi offers true on-prem deployment with Docker and Kubernetes, which Tableau Cloud and Power BI SaaS cannot match for data residency requirements.
Can I track multi-product portfolio performance in one fintech dashboard?
Yes. Knowi's cross-source join capability lets you pull data from separate databases for each product line, lending, payments, insurance, wealth management and combine them in a single dashboard without moving data into a warehouse. You can build portfolio-level KPIs like total revenue by product, customer lifetime value across products, and cross-sell conversion rates, all updating on a live refresh schedule.
How do I monitor customer onboarding funnel drop-off in a fintech app?
Connect Knowi to your application database and event tracking system (via REST API, MongoDB, or PostgreSQL) to build a funnel visualization that shows exactly where users drop off during KYC verification, identity upload, bank linking, or first transaction. Knowi's natural language query feature lets product managers ask questions like "show me onboarding completion rate by acquisition channel this month" without writing SQL. You can set threshold alerts to notify your team when drop-off rates exceed a target.
How do I embed analytics dashboards inside my fintech platform?
Knowi supports three embedding methods: iFrame, JavaScript SDK, and encrypted URL embedding. All three support SSO integration (SAML, OAuth, JWT), row-level security so each customer sees only their own financial data, and full white-label customization including your brand colors and logo. Unlike Tableau Embedded or Power BI Embedded, Knowi does not charge per-viewer licensing fees, making it significantly more cost-effective for fintech platforms with large customer bases.
Is Knowi SOC 2 certified for handling financial data?
Yes. Knowi's managed cloud is SOC 2 Type II certified, with annual audits covering security, availability, and confidentiality. For organizations with stricter data residency or regulatory requirements, Knowi also offers full on-prem deployment via Docker or Kubernetes in your own VPC. This means sensitive financial data never leaves your infrastructure — a requirement for many banking and lending compliance frameworks that cloud-only BI tools cannot satisfy.
Can I query MongoDB transaction data without flattening it first?
Yes. Knowi is one of the few BI platforms that queries MongoDB natively using the MongoDB query language, preserving nested document structures like line items within a transaction, sub-arrays of payment methods, and embedded risk scores. Most BI tools, including Tableau and Power BI — require you to ETL MongoDB data into a relational database first, which loses nested detail and adds pipeline maintenance overhead. Knowi also supports cross-source joins between MongoDB and relational databases like PostgreSQL in a single query.
