AI-enabled technology to automate third party risk intelligence collection and to identify and contextualise opportunity

As financial crime risks intensify and regulators demand proof over policy, 2026 is set to be a defining year for KYC. Signals from FATF, the FCA and the EBA point to deeper scrutiny of onboarding quality, beneficial ownership, governance and the effective use of technology across the customer lifecycle.
As 2025 comes to a close, it is worth reflecting on a year defined by major regulatory shifts, rapid technological evolution, and significant milestones for smartKYC. Across global compliance, expectations continued to rise, driving firms towards more automation, multilingual intelligence extraction, and perpetual monitoring. Against this backdrop, smartKYC experienced one of its strongest and most transformative years to date.
