Why AML & KYC Are Difficult for Professional Service Firms

Professional service firms operate within complex corporate structures and cross-border transactions. Regulators expect financial-institution-level compliance, yet many firms still rely on fragmented tools, spreadsheets, or legacy KYC systems.

Verifying complex corporate clients using fragmented KYB and KYC tools

Screening against global sanctions lists (OFAC, EU, UK) and PEP databases

Managing enhanced due diligence (EDD) for high-risk jurisdictions

Keeping up with evolving FATF guidance and AML technology standards

Maintaining audit-ready documentation across multiple client matters

Handling large onboarding volumes without scalable KYC automation

How Professional Service Firms
use
Steward

Client Onboarding (KYC Online)

Deliver a seamless KYC online experience through configurable onboarding workflows. Collect documents, verify identity, and complete AML screening within a single secure KYC portal to reduce friction for both your firm and your clients.

Individual & Corporate
Verification
(KYC / KYB)

Steward combines AI KYC verification with automated KYB checks to map beneficial ownership structures instantly. Our AI identifies UBOs, verifies directors, and validates corporate registrations - all within a unified KYC platform built for professional service providers.

AI-Powered AML Screening

Screen clients and entities against global sanctions lists, PEP databases, and adverse media sources. Using AI in AML, Steward reduces false positives and provides contextual analysis, ensuring compliance decisions without overwhelming your team.

Risk Scoring & AML Intelligence

Advanced AML AI models synthesise screening results, jurisdictional risk, client type, and transaction exposure into a clear, explainable risk score. This enables firms to adopt a consistent risk-based approach aligned with regulatory expectations and FATF guidance.

Ongoing Monitoring & Periodic Reviews

Our automated AML engine continuously monitors client profiles for changes in sanctions status, ownership structure, or adverse media. Trigger events prompt review, ensuring compliance remains current long after onboarding is complete.
