Customer Onboarding

Intelligent, risk-based workflows accelerate account opening for retail and business customers while ensuring appropriate CDD measures are applied based on customer type, jurisdiction, and risk factors.

Individual & Business Verification
(KYC / KYB)

AI-powered document extraction and verification streamline identity validation, business registration checks, and beneficial ownership identification - reducing manual review time by up to 80%.

Screening

Real-time sanctions, PEP, and adverse media screening across customers, beneficial owners, and related parties provides consolidated risk views and reduces false positive alert fatigue.

AML Intelligence & Risk Scoring

Dynamic risk scoring combines screening results, customer profile data, product risk, and geographic factors into a unified risk assessment that aligns with your institution's risk appetite and regulatory requirements.

Ongoing Monitoring & Periodic Reviews

Automated triggers initiate reviews based on customer risk rating, regulatory timelines, significant events (e.g., PEP status change, adverse media), or transactional behavior, ensuring your CDD stays current.

Transaction Monitoring
Integration

Seamlessly integrates KYC risk scores and customer profile data with transaction monitoring systems to enhance alert quality and SAR decision-making.
