AML Customer Due Diligence & Enhanced Due Diligence accelerated for your business

Focus on real due diligence issues and reduce time spent reviewing adverse media that is not related to your customer. Optimal KYC uses the power of specialised AI models, built by an MLRO, to use the same logic an AML professional would use, and highlight only articles of relevance — while showing everything that has been reviewed for audit.

Productivity

Accelerate CDD & EDD tasks

OKYC makes a 1–3 hour customer review a process that now takes minutes, so your AML team can focus on real areas of concern and reduce friction caused by AML reviews.

Full audit trail creation

Reporting built for regulatory review

Every OKYC screening produces a transparent and easy-to-explain report, with all the AI actions and processes available alongside the adverse media articles to reference when evidence is required for a CDD or EDD decision in future.

AML power tool

A tool for 21st century AML professionals

Optimal KYC accelerates CDD and EDD review, but ultimately the decision to begin or continue a customer relationship is yours. Our aim is to speed up the process and let you focus on real areas of concern, reducing customer friction by giving you the confidence to make decisions faster based on real evidence.

The engine behind your API calls

Consistent & robust approach to AML risk analysis using specialised AI tools tested by financial crime professionals

This is what runs on the other end of every API request: selected checks complete, then the AI analyses news coverage for adverse media — the manual read that used to sit with your DMLRO or MLRO, done in minutes and returned to your system via webhook.
