THE PROBLEM

Sanctions, PEP, and Adverse Media screening is one of the most painful bottlenecks in KYC/AML operations. Every customer you onboard must be screened, and so must the counterparties of their transactions, to ensure no money flows to bad actors.

Screening systems are essential for fighting financial crime, but they also generate a huge volume of false positives, especially for common names, transliterations, and partial matches. This pulls resources away from true investigations and forces analysts into repetitive work every day.

THE SOLUTION

‍

They built an AML Screening AI Agent: an AI agent that automatically investigates screening alerts and produces a final decision with a clear audit trail.

It works natively with all major screening providers (LexisNexis, WorldCheck, Dow Jones, etc.). Think of it as a new employee added to your account, no engineering effort required.

It opens every alert, reads hit details and articles, searches the web and other sources to enrich missing information, and recommends a disposition based on your own decisioning policy, with structured reasoning.

Result: 40-70%+ reduction in alert-handling time, more consistent decisions, and a cleaner backlog.
