Israeli-American software company Nice is reportedly exploring the sale of its Actimize division, according to a report from Calcalist. The report prices the divestiture at between $1.5 billion and $2 billion, and names Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan as two banks involved in supporting the transaction.
Actimize provides solutions for anti-money laundering (AML), fraud detection, and trade surveillance, and was first acquired by Nice for $280 million in 2007. The division has since grown to become a core component of the Nice suite, generating an operating profit of $158.3 million in 2024, almost a third of the operating profit recorded by Nice that year.
The report cites a shifting focus to cloud technology by Nice as a potential catalyst for the sale. In its Q3 2025 financial results, Nice reported a 13% year-over-year increase in cloud revenue, with the segment now representing 64% of the company’s total revenue.
Nice previously closed on its acquisition of German conversational AI platform Cognigy in September. This acquisition aligns with the company’s wider strategy to enhance its CXone platform, a cloud-based customer experience solution that integrates AI-driven tools to improve customer interactions.
The reported sale of Actimize could therefore reflect this strategic shift, as Nice looks to reallocate resources to focus on expanding its cloud and AI capabilities through CXone and other related offerings. The company was approached by FinTech Futures regarding the reported sale of Actimize.
