Clarion Capital Partners has completed an investment in AML RightSource, a Gabriel Partners company and specialist in Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), and Financial Crimes compliance services.

Current shareholders of AML RightSource, Frank Ewing and Paul Linehan, will maintain an ownership stake in AML RightSource and will lead the business in partnership with Clarion. As part of the transaction, Ewing has been promoted to CEO, and Linehan to President. Terms of the transaction, which closed on 18 August, have not been disclosed.
 
The new partnership will help AML RightSource to align even more closely with its customers in the banking, financial services and online payments industries, pursue new customers, and invest in its employees and internal infrastructure.

“This transaction is a natural evolution of AML RightSource’s growth over the last several years,” says Ewing. “With this partnership, we expect to enhance our current service offerings to meet the needs of our growing customer base. We believe the transaction will allow us to continue on our successful path, which will benefit our employees as well.”
 
“Clarion’s long-term growth investment approach is a great match for the opportunity that lies ahead of AML RightSource and exactly what the company needs to extend its leadership position,” says AML RightSource’s President, Paul Linehan. “With the experience and resources of Clarion, we expect to evaluate and improve every aspect of our business.”
 
Matt Feldman, a Principal at Clarion, adds: “AML RightSource has the potential for tremendous organic growth and is a solid platform on which to build new revenue sources. Clarion is excited to participate in this growth, fueling an already growing company with the resources and experience that will help it evaluate new opportunities for the future.”
