CDD Agent Work through your CDD backlog & review all your customers, more often

Accelerate customer reviews and eliminate friction with an AI agent that pulls together KYC, AML, and screening signals to comprehensively assess risk and pre-populate your due diligence forms.

CDD Agent

THE PROBLEM CDD today is manual and fragmented across three systems

60-70%

of analyst time is spent toggling between systems and manually copying data, rather than evaluating actual risk. 

50%

of banks fail to apply meaningful enhanced due diligence in higher-risk situations, failing to identify or record adverse information on the customer or their beneficial owner.

7%

of financial institutions have taken practical steps to automate their customer due diligence process, even though the majority say they're actively exploring automation tools. 

A NEW STANDARD Move from manual stitching to a complete customer risk picture

The traditional way

  • High review costs driven by analysts losing most of their time to manual data gathering
  • Backlogs and risky sampling because bandwidth limits leave large portions of customer portfolios unmonitored 
  • Wasted analyst capacity spent re-verifying low-risk accounts with zero visibility into notable risk drivers 
  • Inconsistent EDD escalations caused by manual handoffs that force analysts to memorize complex policy thresholds 
  • Severe exam exposure from retroactive documentation assembled after decisions are already made 

The agentic way

  • Unified customer risk picture aggregating transactional activitys, screening hits, and KYC profiles into one view 
  • Continuous, full portfolio coverage that replaces static periodic reviews with ongoing risk monitoring 
  • Faster review cycle times through pre-populated drafts and instant notable-activity summaries 
  • Automated EDD escalations that auto-trigger and pre-fill institution-specific forms when risk crosses defined thresholds cross 
  • Exam-ready reviews by default with full data provenance and audit trails logged automatically 

PRODUCT DIFFERENTIATORS Built for consistent, comprehensive assessments, not just faster reviews

One unified risk assessment

Get a consolidated view of each customer’s risk, with a weighted risk score and risk drivers grouped by source, so your analysts can mitigate customer risk instead of assembling it and surface risk combinations a single-system view would never connect.

Reasoning, not just re-screening

Pinpoint material profile changes, hidden beneficial-ownership and shared-registry links, and any discrepancies between expected and actual activity that a manual review can miss, with AI explanations and citations for each agent finding.

Dynamic population of CDD forms

Populate and complete the same CDD forms your team is already using. Auto-trigger EDD once a risk threshold is crossed and dynamically evaluate additional form fields, no memorized policy required
