smartKYC recognised as an Enterprise Solution in the Chartis RiskTech Quadrant® for KYC Solutions 2026

Ranked among the top vendors for data enrichment, reporting and maintenance, out of 60 assessed.

smartKYC has been recognised as an Enterprise Solution in the Chartis RiskTech Quadrant® for KYC Solutions 2026. The report, published today by Chartis Research, assessed 60 KYC technology vendors on two dimensions: completeness of offering and market potential.

Placement in the Enterprise Solutions quadrant reflects the breadth and depth of the smartKYC platform. It recognises a solution built to meet the full range of KYC requirements at enterprise scale, rather than a single point in the compliance process.

Where smartKYC stood out

Chartis scored every vendor across a series of capability criteria. smartKYC ranked among the strongest performers in three of them:

• Data enrichment: 4.6 out of 5. Joint fourth highest of all 60 vendors assessed.
• Reporting: 4.0. Joint third highest overall.
• Maintenance: 4.0. Joint fourth highest overall, and joint highest of every vendor in the Enterprise Solutions quadrant.

Why data enrichment matters

KYC decisions are only as good as the information behind them. Most of the risk-relevant information about a customer, from adverse media to corporate connections, sits in unstructured sources: news, registries, court records and the wider public domain.

smartKYC uses AI and natural language processing to find that information, read it in context and turn it into structured, explainable risk insight. The result is a fuller picture of each customer, with fewer false positives for analysts to clear.

Strong reporting means every finding is traceable and audit-ready. Strong maintenance scores mean the platform stays reliable and current as regulation, data sources and client needs change.

What our clients get

The smartKYC platform covers the full customer lifecycle across six modules: Lead Generation, Name Screening, Source of Wealth, Digital Onboarding, Network Discovery and Continuous Monitoring. Banks, corporates and financial institutions use it to onboard faster, monitor continuously and meet regulatory expectations with confidence.

“Recognition from Chartis is a strong independent endorsement of what our clients already tell us: that the depth and quality of smartKYC’s data enrichment changes the quality of their KYC decisions. Being placed as an Enterprise Solution and scoring among the very best of 60 vendors for data enrichment, reporting and maintenance, reflects years of investment in getting the hard parts of KYC right. We’re grateful to Chartis for their rigorous assessment and to our clients for their partnership.”
