Mashreq launches generative AI capabilities to strengthen fraud risk management with Clari5

Published

on

BENGALURU, India, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mashreq, a leading financial institution in the MENA region, has launched new generative AI capabilities within its fraud platform in collaboration with Clari5 – A Perfios Company. The move brings tangible benefits across three priority areas: enhancing fraud detection effectiveness, improving analyst productivity, and supporting stronger investigative decision-making.

Announced at Mashreq’s Innovation Hub in Dubai in the presence of senior leadership from both organizations, the launch demonstrates how generative AI can be applied within a banking environment to complement the expertise and judgement of fraud professionals.

Ahmed Abdelaal, Group Chief Executive Officer at Mashreq, said: “In an increasingly digital financial landscape, fraud is becoming more sophisticated, and the way banks respond must adapt accordingly. At Mashreq, we are committed to implementing AI responsibly in areas where it can have a meaningful impact, strengthening the resilience of our operations and the trust our customers place in us.”

Nitin Chugh, MD and Group CEO, Perfios, said: “Our collaboration with Mashreq demonstrates how generative AI can help banks tackle the growing complexity of financial crime by bringing together disparate information, accelerating investigations and enabling better-informed decisions. The goal is to augment investigators’ expertise, not automate judgement, while ensuring AI operates with the rigour and accountability that financial crime management demands.”

Rivi Varghese, Co-Founder and CEO, Clari5, said: “Banks don’t need AI that acts on its own. They need AI they can govern by their own rules. Clari5 has shown how AI can operate on-premises inside a bank’s own environment, grounded in the bank’s context, and remain auditable, explainable and under human control. We are proud to have gone live with Mashreq and set an example of how enterprise-grade AI should operate in managing financial crime.”

Rania Nerhal, Group Chief Client Experience & Conduct Officer at Mashreq, said: “The value of generative AI lies in its ability to help us interpret relevant information and respond to emerging risks with greater speed, consistency, efficiency, and precision. This launch is part of our continued investment in deploying the latest technology to evolve our fraud risk management framework.”

Developed through the ongoing collaboration between Mashreq and Clari5, the new capabilities further strengthen the bank’s fraud detection platform. They are designed to deliver two key benefits:

Seamless customer experience: Supporting faster, more consistent, and more effective fraud detection.Greater consumer trust: Reinforcing confidence in the bank’s ability to protect customers and respond to emerging risks.

Creality K3 Now Available at $849, Making Multi-Color 3D Printing More Practical

Published

on

By

Creality’s four-nozzle flagship moves from pre-order to official U.S. availability, bringing faster color changes and greater creative flexibility to everyday 3D printing.

HOUSTON, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Creality today announced the official U.S. availability of the K3, its latest flagship K Series 3D printer, starting at $849. Following its pre-order debut in October, the K3 is now available for purchase, with shipments of the first pre-orders having begun on November 2.

Recognized as an IFA Innovation Awards 2026 Honoree, the K3 introduces a four-nozzle system designed to make multi-color printing faster, less wasteful, and more practical for everyday creative projects.

Making Multi-Color Printing Easier and Faster

From detailed figures and personalized gifts to decorative pieces and functional designs, color can make a significant difference in how a 3D-printed project comes together. Conventional multi-color printing often comes with a setback: more colors mean more time spent switching filaments and more material discarded along the way.

The K3 takes a different approach. Its KliTek™ four-nozzle system keeps different filaments ready in independent channels, allowing the printer to switch between nozzles in approximately 5 seconds while reducing the repeated purging required by conventional single-nozzle systems.

In Creality’s internal testing, this approach shortened total print times by up to 80% and reduced material waste by up to 85% compared with conventional single-nozzle multi-color workflows.

For makers, this means less time and filament spent on color changes, whether creating a personalized gift, a detailed display piece, or a batch of matching designs.

More Room for More Creative Possibilities

Beyond multi-color printing, the K3 is designed to grow with makers as their projects become more ambitious.

With optional accessories, its four-nozzle architecture supports different nozzle sizes within a single print, allowing users to combine finer surface details with more efficient internal structures. This gives makers greater flexibility to balance appearance, precision, and printing time without having to choose a single nozzle size for an entire project.

The K3 also offers an expandable path into multi-material printing. An optional top cover enables the use of engineering materials, while a dedicated TPU Kit expands compatibility to softer flexible filaments and soluble support materials. These options open up possibilities for projects that combine different material properties or require more complex structures.

U.S. Availability and Launch Offer

The Creality K3 is now available in the United States, starting at $849. Shipments of the first pre-orders began on November 2.

To celebrate the official launch, customers purchasing the K3 through November 30 will receive four complimentary rolls of Hyper PLA filament. Orders placed through Creality’s official online store during the promotional period also qualify for free shipping.

European availability is expected in December 2026.

For more information or to purchase, visit the Creality K3 official product page.

Performance figures are based on Creality’s internal testing. Actual results may vary depending on materials, models, and printing conditions. Advanced multi-material and mixed-nozzle capabilities require optional accessories sold separately.
