SmartSearch is a software‑as‑a‑service platform designed to support anti‑money laundering and regulatory compliance processes. It enables organizations to verify the identity of individuals and businesses, assess financial crime risk, and meet regulatory obligations through automated checks and monitoring. The platform focuses on electronic verification rather than manual document handling. By using structured identity data, it performs customer due diligence checks, sanctions screening, and politically exposed person identification within a single system. SmartSearch supports both initial onboarding checks and ongoing monitoring.
