Directory of AI business verification and KYB vendors

AiPrise verifies businesses and the individuals behind them across more than 200 countries through one interface, pulling registry records, local documents, sanctions and watchlist data, device and network intelligence and web signals from over a hundred sources into a single risk view. Its focus is emerging and harder to verify markets where registry data is incomplete, and it maps beneficial ownership beyond minimum regulatory thresholds. AI agents summarise websites, documents and alerts and generate enhanced due diligence reports while analysts retain the final decision against an audit trail.

Baselayer verifies American businesses rather than consumers, combining secretary of state filings, court records, registries, lien data and direct tax identification number checks with website, social and review signals to confirm that a company, its owners and its signers are real and legitimate. Its distinguishing asset is an identity network that links business application activity across more than two thousand participating institutions, surfacing loan stacking, application velocity and synthetic business identities that a single institution's own view cannot see.

Bits Technology, trading as Bits and registered in Sweden as Finbits AB, is a Stockholm compliance infrastructure platform founded in 2022 by former operators from Klarna, Amazon Web Services and Tink, led by co founder and chief executive Jonatan Klintberg. It sells a single integration that replaces a stack of local point solutions, covering know your customer and know your business onboarding, anti money laundering risk scoring, ongoing due diligence, transaction monitoring and case management across more than 100 jurisdictions. Through that one connection customers reach European company registries, beneficial ownership data, politically exposed person and sanctions lists, fraud signals and electronic identity providers, with Veriff named among the verification partners orchestrated behind it. A no code workflow builder configures the process and the platform is delivered API first with public developer documentation and a changelog. A separate product, Bits AI, adds an agent that summarises raw case data and drafts an actionable decision which a human agent then verifies or edits, plus a co pilot that answers questions across large volumes of case data. The company states it is deliberate about where the AI sits, describing its role as sorting, summarising and surfacing rather than deciding. It raised 4 million euros in 2023 led by Unusual Ventures with Fin Capital, Cherry Ventures, Alliance Ventures, Forward VC and Greens Ventures, then 12 million euros in a Series A in February 2026 led by Alstin Capital with Cherry, Unusual and Alliance participating. Around twenty two customers are named publicly, including the Nasdaq Helsinki listed and Finnish regulator licensed Alisa Bank, the payments firms Qliro, Walley, Brite Payments, CleverCards, Ledyer and Cardlay, the crypto platform Coinmotion, the investment platforms Fondo, Tioex and Always Summer Asset Management, and lending, legal and software businesses across the Nordics. Reported results include manual case handling reduced by 50 to 70 percent, onboarding four to six times faster, and a stated 3.8 times return over five years.

CleverChain is a London based regulatory technology company selling artificial intelligence driven due diligence to financial institutions, industrial groups and risk consultancies across customer, business, anti money laundering and supplier risk workflows. Its central product is an autonomous digital due diligence agent that carries out contextual end to end investigations calibrated to each institution's own policies, procedures and questionnaires rather than to a fixed vendor template, with audit logs and quality assurance checks described as part of the process, supported by two interactive agents used for deeper investigation and regulatory review. The company positions itself as source agnostic and infrastructure agnostic, normalising and reasoning over data drawn from commercial, registry and open source providers to build a continuously updating risk graph of companies and people rather than aggregating checks. It participates in the United Kingdom conduct regulator's regulatory sandbox, testing its due diligence capability in a live environment under regulatory oversight against standards for transparency, explainability and freedom from bias, and entered a strategic partnership with a global data and credit bureau in December 2025 to deliver due diligence intelligence to that company's business customers. The founding team previously built an automated perpetual customer due diligence system for a large European retail bank.

Detected is a London business verification and onboarding platform founded in July 2020 by Liam Chennells and Nathan Kelleher, positioning itself as a trust platform answering whether a business or individual can be trusted, across onboarding, screening, monitoring and decisioning. It has raised roughly 10.1 million dollars across seven rounds from investors including EmergeVest, Love Ventures and Thomson Reuters Ventures. The platform is built around three areas: case management holding risk profiling, forms, documents and screenings, an orchestration engine that routes, validates and sequences the outputs of third party providers, and a no code workflow builder that lets compliance teams change onboarding journeys by customer type, product, jurisdiction or risk tier. It integrates directly with more than 190 company registries, maps beneficial ownership to natural person level through multi layer structures, verifies business domains against WHOIS records, screens entities and associated parties against sanctions, politically exposed person and law enforcement databases, and onboards not only companies but charities, trusts, funds, partnerships, sole traders, syndicates, clubs and associations. Individual verification covers more than 16,000 document templates with passive liveness and biometric matching. Eleven named providers run natively inside the platform, among them ComplyAdvantage, Dun and Bradstreet, LSEG, Moody's, Trulioo, GBG, OpenCorporates, Kyckr, AsiaVerify, Resistant AI and Anthropic. Named customers include Zelis, DailyPay, Gumtree and Purolator, with Visa and GBG as partners, GBG jointly marketing a co branded product called GBG Detected. Its published AI position is unusually specific: every AI feature is opt in, the AI is stated to act in an advisory role surfacing insights rather than verdicts with human sign off enforced at every point, reasoning is presented as explainable so analysts can challenge it, and six named controls cover guardrails, prompt injection protection, hallucination controls, continuous monitoring with anomaly detection and quality scoring, consumption management and full audit logging of what was asked, what was returned and who acted. It also runs a Model Context Protocol server letting customers connect their own agents to its data.

Dotfile is a Paris business verification platform founded in 2021 by Vasco Alexandre and Titouan Benoit inside the startup studio Hexa, formerly eFounders, with a second office in San Francisco and a presence in London opened in 2024. It sells an end to end know your business platform that assembles a picture of a company from dozens of data sources in around ten seconds, drawing on more than 400 million global business records. The platform is organised in two halves. A customer lifecycle layer covers data orchestration, a configurable risk engine, an integration studio, case management and a white label client portal. A data intelligence layer covers business data and beneficial ownership discovery, anti money laundering and sanctions screening, online reputation scoring, identity verification, and a product called Dotfile Autonomy. Solutions are packaged for business onboarding, individual onboarding, perpetual monitoring, back book remediation and fraud detection. It states that automated document verification and corporate structure analysis cut manual review time by roughly 80 percent, and it sells specialised risk scoring for cryptocurrency businesses alongside readiness features for the European MiCA regime. More than 50 customers across ten countries include banks, private equity firms and fintechs, among them Spendesk, Younited Credit, Flowdesk, Keyrock and Roundtable. It raised 2.5 million euros in a seed round backed by V13 Invest, the corporate venture arm of the French lottery operator, alongside Serena, Kima Ventures, Pareto Holdings and Super Capital, then 6 million euros led by Seaya Ventures in September 2024. It names its data supply chain openly, taking registry coverage from Kyckr and electronic identity verification across more than 45 countries from GBG, and runs a trust centre on its own subdomain.

Duna is a business identity platform for regulated companies, automating know your business, know your customer, customer due diligence and anti money laundering checks during onboarding. The platform collects and structures company data, routes checks to third party data providers, applies real time risk scoring and runs automated audit trails. Its stated direction is a shareable digital passport for every business, evolving into a network where one verification is reused across institutions for one click onboarding. Buyers are banks, fintechs, payment infrastructure providers and regulated platforms, concentrated in Europe.

First AML is an Auckland customer due diligence platform founded in 2017, co founded by Bion Behdin who serves as chief revenue officer, and now operating across New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom and Europe with separate platform instances for the Australasian and UK and European regions. The company began as a compliance operator rather than a software vendor and states it processed more than two million anti money laundering cases itself before releasing the platform, which is the experience it markets the product on. It sells an end to end customer due diligence workflow covering onboarding, individual and business verification, screening, enhanced and ongoing due diligence, risk assessment and regulatory reporting, aimed at organisations with complex or international entity structures. Four named AI features sit inside it. Entity Insights searches public records, registries and credit data to produce a structured open source report on an entity with follow up questions, aimed specifically at foreign entities and thin data jurisdictions. An AI document reader parses trust deeds, constitutions and other complex documents in around sixty seconds, extracts beneficial owners and certification details and builds the ownership structure inside the case. AI supported individual verification captures live video alongside an identity document and matches faces biometrically. Advanced AI screening surfaces court proceedings, criminal filings and paywalled content, and a screening agent labels each result as a false positive, false match or true match for a human to accept or override. The company frames the arrangement as the customer owning the compliance rules and review steps while the AI runs against them, clears routine work and escalates cases needing judgment. It serves four industries, accounting, law and conveyancing, real estate, and finance, and in February 2026 partnered with the legal software group Aderant to reach law firms internationally. It has raised roughly 26 million dollars, including a 21 million dollar Series B, from investors including Bedrock Capital and Icehouse Ventures, and runs a trust centre, a security page, a public status page and a published plans and pricing page.

Harmoney orchestrates counterparty risk management for European banks, insurers, wealth managers, investment funds, leasing firms and professional service firms, covering know your customer and business checks, anti money laundering, investment services suitability, politically exposed persons, ultimate beneficial ownership, operational resilience, sustainability disclosure and third party risk across the full counterparty lifecycle. Its organising idea is a complete, reusable financial passport for each individual and corporate customer, from which it coordinates interactions between relationship managers, compliance teams and end users, connecting third party data providers and core systems into one system of record. The platform is modular, deployable white label, and serves more than 70 clients across seven countries, onboarding and monitoring millions of counterparties daily.

KYP, for Know Your Partner, monitors the businesses an institution depends on rather than the customers it onboards, replacing point in time due diligence with continuous surveillance. It aggregates more than 2,000 global data points covering credit scores, sanctions and politically exposed person lists, adverse media, insolvency filings, cyber risk assessments and dark web activity, then applies its own models to connect those signals into a single risk picture and raise alerts as it changes. Named uses in financial services include merchant portfolio monitoring for acquirers and risk scoring of third party providers each time they access an account servicing institution under open banking, alongside supply chain due diligence and invoice risk scoring. Distribution runs largely through payments and embedded finance infrastructure partners.

Middesk is a business identity platform that verifies companies rather than people, and takes that verification through to a decision. It pulls from primary government sources first, with direct connections to the Internal Revenue Service and all fifty Secretary of State offices, then layers alternative sources and network signals across a stated four hundred data providers, covering business name and address verification, taxpayer identification matching, beneficial ownership, sanctions screening, uniform commercial code filings and ongoing monitoring. An orchestration layer routes each case through specialised agents that investigate discrepancies, pull additional sources and return a resolved outcome, while purpose built models detect shell companies, synthetic businesses and entity relationship patterns that indicate coordinated fraud. Institutions configure rules for straight through approval and send the remainder to human review, or run rules and agents in parallel. A separate registration product files with state and federal agencies on a client's behalf so businesses can be set up for payroll and tax. The company states more than five hundred customers across financial technology, banking, lending, marketplaces, insurance and payroll, naming Plaid, Bluevine, Rippling, Novo and Fora Financial, with a published integration into a major engagement banking platform used by banks and credit unions. Coverage is United States only, with international verification stated as a future addition.

smartKYC automates counterparty due diligence for private banks, corporate and investment banks, retail banks, wealth managers and multinational corporates, using a multilingual semantic search engine that machine reads online media, registries, court records and watchlists rather than matching keywords. Its distinguishing method is identity level screening: hits are scored for relevance using attributes such as age, nationality and company affiliation rather than name alone, in any language, which addresses the false positive problem that dominates adverse media work. Coverage spans the full customer lifecycle through historic screening, periodic refresh and continuous monitoring, with a companion product watching global news around the clock for higher risk clients and alerting analysts only by exception.

Spektr, legally spektr ApS, is a Copenhagen compliance infrastructure company founded in 2022 by Mikkel Skarnager as chief executive with Ciprian Florescu as chief technology officer, Jan-Erik Wagner as chief revenue officer and Jeremy Joly as chief product officer, a founding team with a prior exit in identity verification. Its argument is that a decade of compliance technology addressed workflow and data collection while leaving the analytical work itself to human analysts, so it sells agents that do that work: researching a company, interpreting what is found, verifying that a business genuinely operates, mapping ownership, and writing a structured risk rationale. Nine named agents cover business verification, industry classification, network discovery, address checking, licence checking, document review, source of funds, false positive reduction and website checking, and an agent builder lets a customer define new ones, specifying how they gather data, apply logic and produce outputs. Around the agents sit configurable processes for business and individual onboarding, monitoring, risk scoring, remediation, enrichment, questionnaires, credit and customer scoring and event orchestration, with a public API. Agents can be shipped across jurisdictions, watched in production and rolled back immediately. Named customers include Santander Leasing, Nexi, Pleo, Mercuryo, Monta, Kompasbank, Athlos and Fyorin. It raised a 20 million dollar Series A led by New Enterprise Associates in April 2026 with Northzone, Seedcamp and PSV Tech, taking total funding to roughly 26 million dollars, and opened offices in London and New York. Its disclosure is unusually complete: it holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO/IEC 27701:2019 and ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certifications and a SOC 2 Type II attestation, publishes the certificate numbers and names both the certification body and the attesting firm, and states that all data sits within the European Union and is handled only by people based there.

San Francisco platform for community banks, credit unions and merchant processors covering onboarding, due diligence, screening and ongoing monitoring through three modules: ApplyC for applications, onboarding and underwriting, VerifyC for virtual site inspection and business verification using GPS tagged photo capture and liveness checks, and MonitorC for screening and ongoing monitoring. StandardC AI, launched May 2026, adds an agent bench of role specific agents configured in an agent studio, each action producing what the company calls an examiner ready agent report. Its central claim is a patent pending architecture in which customer personally identifiable information never reaches an AI model.

Strise is an anti money laundering automation platform founded in Oslo in 2016 by Marit Rodevand, Patrick Skjennum and Sigve Sorasen, launched commercially in 2019 after three years of development, and now operating from Oslo and a London office. Its core proposition is data resolution rather than data aggregation: a continuously updated knowledge graph, marketed as SuperData, that links companies, directors, ownership structures, sanctions exposure and adverse media into one connected record instead of leaving them in separate databases, with natural language processing extracting information from documents and agentic components triaging and dispositioning screening alerts. Nine named products sit on it, covering business onboarding, individual onboarding, ongoing due diligence, identity verification, beneficial ownership discovery, back book remediation, risk scoring, screening and alert triage, and document analysis. It states that roughly 70 percent of top tier Nordic banks use it, and names customers across banking, payments, insurance, pensions, wealth management, audit and law, including Nordea, Danske Bank, Handelsbanken, the SpareBank 1 alliance, Vipps MobilePay, Storebrand, Fremtind, KLP, Formue, BDO Norway, PwC Norway, EY UK and Orrick. Its Storebrand deployment runs across a group managing 1,281 billion Norwegian kroner with more than 55,000 corporate and 2.2 million retail customers. Reported outcomes include a 90 percent reduction in due diligence time, roughly 30 percent cost savings, up to 85 percent lower remediation costs, and onboarding cut from about an hour to twelve minutes. It raised a Series A of about 10.8 million dollars led by Atomico with Curiosity, Maki.vc and Sondo, taking total funding to roughly 12 million pounds, and partners with Kyckr for registry data across more than 300 registries, Signicat for digital identity and Stacc and PSA Solutions for distribution. It publishes ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and a SOC 2 Type 2 attestation naming its auditor, and runs a standing security trust centre and a public platform status page.

Worth AI consolidates small business onboarding and underwriting for banks, credit unions, fintechs and payment providers into one decisioning layer, combining business and beneficial owner verification, identity checks, bank and financial verification, fraud detection and credit assessment. Its patented crosswalking technology matches business identities in real time across secretary of state filings, federal tax records and other sources against a database of hundreds of millions of businesses, and its WorthScore draws on more than eleven hundred traditional and non traditional data points to produce a unified business credit score.
