Visit official site →

About

ComplyAdvantage (London, founded 2014) is an AI-native financial-crime platform used by 3,000+ banks and fintechs across 75 countries. Its Mesh platform unifies sanctions/PEP/adverse-media screening with real-time transaction monitoring and AI risk scoring, ingesting 30M+ documents a day with 15-minute OFAC updates.

Strengths: deep risk-intelligence data, up to 70% fewer false positives claimed, and a real REST API. Limitations: it does not do document or biometric identity verification (pair with an IDV provider), and pricing scales with entity volume.

What it can do

  • Sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media screening
  • Real-time AI transaction monitoring
  • AI-driven risk scoring
  • Autonomous alert triage
  • Ongoing perpetual KYC monitoring
  • REST API and case management

  3. Integrate screening via the REST API or batch uploads.
