AI software to drive faster, better and more cost effective KYC

smartKYC removes the labour intensiveness of screening and deep background checks through intelligent automation. smartKYC’s technology improves the quality of KYC at every stage of the client lifecycle – prospecting, onboarding and ongoing monitoring.

smartKYC is designed to meet the specific challenges financial institutions and corporates face in conducting KYC and enhanced due diligence on their clients, partners and investments. smartKYC enables:

  • Greater confidence in conducting KYC
  • Faster KYC
  • Reduced false positives and greater precision
  • More straight through processing
  • A fully auditable system
  • Explainable AI rather than a black box
  • An integrated solution
  • To not only onboard right but to monitor right

smartKYC’s proven technology rises to the challenges.

  • smartKYC efficiently harmonises and makes sense of all client sources including open and deep web, news archives, watchlists, corporate databases, biographical records and much more. 
  • Multiple identifying attributes are used to ensure the right individual or organisation is being profiled, even in news and web articles, minimising time wasted and analyst frustration.
  • smartKYC’s technology applies AI to extract precise open source intelligence (OSINT) from these vast corpuses of structured and unstructured information. This is presented in the form of pertinent facts rather than endless pages of raw material.
  • All sources are robotically analysed, with semantic precision, in the native language and alphabet so that every linguistic nuance is captured – providing the same confidence in conducting foreign language due diligence as in English.
  • Role-based permissions and collaborative features such as maker-checker allow for joined-up work processing and all activity is logged in forensic detail for audit purposes.
  • Results are easily integrated into existing workflow tools such as client lifecycle management systems.

All of this happens at speed and at scale creating many straight through processing possibilities – robo-onboarding, watchlist filtering, batch remediation or continuous KYC monitoring.
