Overview

We help fintech risk and AML compliance teams automate and strengthen routine customer due diligence tasks with LLMs. Our AI assistants slash cost-to-comply, improve risk detection and free up capacity for investigations that require human expertise and decision making.

Fintechs and banks use us to automate workflows like running thorough due diligence on a legal entity, reviewing customer documents like registry extracts, proofs of address etc and remediating false positive alerts from their AML systems.
