One Solution. The Complete Counterparty Lifecycle.
Managing counterparty risk does not begin with an application form and end with a sign-off. Organisations today must identify, assess, onboard, and then keep watching, not only individual clients, but corporates, suppliers and intermediaries, each with their own documents, checks and a risk profile that keeps evolving for as long as the relationship lasts.
Traditional approaches fragment this into disconnected stages: prospecting in one system, onboarding in another, monitoring handed off to a third. Findings get re-entered, context gets lost, and relationships that cleared onboarding fall out of sight the moment a case is closed.
smartKYC’s Client Lifecycle Management solution replaces that fragmentation with a single platform that covers every stage of the counterparty lifecycle, from initial target identification through digital onboarding, automated checks, exception routing and sign-off, into continuous risk monitoring and perpetual KYC refresh. One workflow, one Entity Profile, from first prospect to Perpetual KYC.
smartKYC’s Client Lifecycle Management solution orchestrates the full module suite: Lead Generation and Target Prospecting, Name Screening, Network Discovery and Screening, Source of Wealth Due Diligence, Digital Onboarding and Workflows, and Continuous Risk and Intelligence Monitoring, pulling each into a single auditable lifecycle record that stays current for as long as the relationship lasts.
From Entity Input to Perpetual KYC
The counterparty lifecycle begins before onboarding. smartKYC’s CLM solution covers every stage: from initial target identification, through document collection, automated checks and structured exception handling, into always-on monitoring and refresh. Every stage lives on one Entity Profile, with no re-keying and no lost context.
01
Target Identification
Before a case is ever submitted, smartKYC’s CLM solution can surface and profile potential clients, counterparties or targets, pulling together corporate structure, key individuals and early-stage risk indicators so your teams arrive at every new relationship already informed.
02
Case Submission
Users submit an individual or company for onboarding via manual entry, batch upload, API integration, or a digital robo-onboarding portal. The platform creates a unique case record.
03
Document Collection
ID & proof of address, corporate filings & certificates, beneficial ownership declarations, supporting due diligence documents, auto-populated wherever possible from federated intelligence sources, reducing client requests down to genuine gaps only.
04
Automated Checks
Name Screening and Network Discovery results, document authenticity checks and contextual risk scoring pulled in automatically, cutting manual review time.
05
Exception Routing
Cases triaged automatically against configured risk thresholds: clean cases auto-progress, flagged cases route to an analyst queue with SLA tracking.
06
Analyst Review
Flagged cases presented with GenAI auto-summarisation for confirmation, further documents, or annotation, every action recorded in a full audit trail.
07
Sign-Off & Handoff
Once approved, the case becomes a live, auditable onboarding record, and automatically becomes a watched Entity Profile, not a closed file.
08
Continuous Risk & Intelligence Monitoring
Watchlists and company registries re-screened daily; adverse media monitored in real time, alerting analysts the moment a material story breaks, anywhere in the world.
09
Perpetual KYC & Automated Escalation
Confirmed material change escalates automatically into a full Periodic Refresh, or a Source of Wealth review where ownership, control or wealth is implicated, keeping the profile current indefinitely, for as long as the relationship lasts.
