How it works
Digital onboarding solutions built for UAE compliance — every stage documented for regulators.
Client portal
A secure, branded portal gives clients one place to submit KYC documents and track their onboarding status. No email attachments. No WhatsApp threads. No spreadsheet of who sent what.
Branded with your firm name and logo
Clients see only their status — no internal notes
Real-time document status updates
Secure upload with format validation
AI verification & screening
The AI scanner classifies uploaded documents, extracts names, dates, and licence numbers, and flags mismatches. Sanctions and PEP screening runs against 1,200+ global watchlists with per-hit detail.
Passports, MOAs, trade licences, share registers
Structured data extraction — no manual transcription
ComplyAdvantage integration — 1,200+ lists
Per-hit breakdown with source and risk category
CDD decision register
Issue a formal CDD outcome — Clear, EDD Required, or Decline — with risk level, rationale, and named approver. Every action permanently logged with user, timestamp, and reasoning.
Configurable weighted risk scoring
Formal sign-off workflow with named approver
Full action log — inspection-ready instantly
EDD document collection for elevated-risk clients
