Digital Reasoning Systems Inc., an artificial intelligence company that has helped Nasdaq Inc. track potential rogue traders, has raised $30 million of financing led by BNP Paribas SA.

The financing will help the company expand its products for capital markets and wealth management and work on technology in areas including speech analytics.

Barclays PLC and Square Capital participated in the financing, as did previous investors Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Nasdaq, Lemhi Ventures, HCA Healthcare Inc. and the Partnership Fund for New York City.

Angel Rodriguez-Issa, who is global head of strategic investments, global markets at BNP Paribas, has joined Digital Reasoning's board.

In 2016, Nasdaq and Digital Reasoning announced an alliance to provide surveillance technology for capital markets, including buy-side, brokers, regulators and exchanges. Lemhi and Nasdaq led a $40 million Series D round for Digital Reasoning in 2016.

When the partnership was announced, Nasdaq and Digital Reasoning said a "holistic surveillance" effort comparing the comments and trading activity of traders was intended to improve upon existing technology at the time. For example, keyword searches didn't account for the context of a word like "tank."
