Know Your Customer (KYC)
Verify identities, screen for sanctions and PEPs, and keep an audit trail to approve customers quickly without the hidden risks.
Slow, manual onboarding means fraudsters slip through, compliance checks are missed, and audits fail. Digital KYC approves customers quickly without exposing your business to fraud or compliance failures.
Red Flag Alert’s KYC checks combine identity verification, sanctions and PEP screening, and adverse media searches in one place so you can onboard customers faster while maintaining compliance and a complete audit trail.
Let customers complete KYC checks on their own device, submitting identity details and documents digitally to speed up onboarding and reduce manual work.
Use data from multiple sources and improved matching to confirm identities reliably, reducing the false positives that can slow down your team.
Run credit checks on individuals and directors alongside business reports to spot CCJs, insolvencies, and bankruptcies before approving customers.
See domestic and international PEPs, sanctions, adverse media, and other risk signals alongside KYC checks, so you can spot where extra due diligence is needed.
Connect KYC with AML, IDV, and KYB checks to review customers and related entities together, instead of using separate systems where risks can be missed.
Keep a digital record of all KYC checks and outcomes, and link high-risk customers to continuous monitoring, making future reviews and audits simpler.
Set your KYC rules, let customers complete checks digitally, and review results alongside other checks for faster and safer onboarding.
Decide which KYC checks apply to each customer type and risk level, including ID verification, sanctions, PEP, and adverse media screening.
Customers complete KYC checks through the platform or API, submitting their details and documents digitally to reduce manual steps.
