Know your customer before they become a problem
Onboarding a sanctioned or high-risk customer exposes your company to fines and reputational damage. Well-done KYC protects you without becoming a commercial obstacle.
Verification at onboarding
Screen the new customer against lists and PEPs at the moment of onboarding, without leaving the platform or waiting for manual processes.
Score and classification
A consolidated score lets you approve, escalate for review or reject, according to your company's risk thresholds.
Customer case file
Every KYC is documented with its evidence and decision, ready for audits, correspondent banks and regulators.
From the form to the approved customer
KYC fits into your onboarding process: a single search delivers the result and leaves the evidence that you complied.
- Enter the customer's details. Name and ID number; the engine normalizes and enriches the search.
- Check lists and PEPs. Consolidated result with a score and risk classification.
- Approve with evidence. Recorded decision and PDF report in the customer's case file.
What KYC checks
- Sanctions lists: OFAC, UN, EU and UK.
- PEP screening: politically exposed persons and their close associates.
- For customers that are companies and for third parties, vendor due diligence applies the same flow.
