New Launch: Automate Sanctions, PEP, and Adverse Media alerts with AI Agents


We're excited to unveil our AML Screening Agent, crafted to automate the review of Sanctions, PEP, and Adverse Media alerts for KYC/AML teams at fintechs and banks, from within their screening providers. This agent seamlessly integrates with the world's leading AML screening platforms, such as LexisNexis, WorldCheck, and Dow Jones.‍

‍

THE PROBLEM

Sanctions, PEP, and Adverse Media screening is one of the most painful bottlenecks in KYC/AML operations. Every customer you onboard must be screened, and so must the counterparties to their transactions, to ensure no funds flow to bad actors.

While screening systems are critical for fighting financial crime, they also generate an enormous number of false positives—especially for common names, transliterations, and partial matches. This pulls valuable resources away from true investigations and forces analysts into repetitive, manual work every day.

‍

THE SOLUTION

We built an AML Screening AI Agent: an AI agent that automatically investigates screening alerts and produces a final recommendation with a clear, defensible audit trail.

Integrated with all major screening providers including LexisNexis, WorldCheck and, Dow Jones—think of it as a new employee added to your team, with no engineering effort required.

The agent opens each alert, reviews hit details and source articles, searches the web and other sources to enrich missing information, and recommends a disposition based on your own decisioning policies, complete with structured reasoning.

‍

THE RESULT

Delivering a 40–70%+ reduction in alert-handling time, more consistent decisions, and a cleaner backlog—while reducing fraud and risk losses, enabling faster onboarding, and lowering operational costs.
