One flow runs identity checks, sanctions and PEP screening, and monitoring, so good customers clear fast and financial crime never does.
The problem
Money laundering is a multi-trillion-dollar machine, and AI now mass-produces synthetic identities faster than analysts can review. The screening built to stop it buries teams in false positives and drives real customers away.

How it works
The foundation
No single check makes you compliant. The four steps you just saw run on three intelligence layers, working as one across the whole customer lifecycle.
Explore the platformValidates who the customer is: documents from 200+ countries, biometric match ranked at 99% in NIST testing, and liveness that stops deepfakes.
Screens every customer against 100+ sanctions lists, 50K+ PEP records, and global adverse media, with configurable match logic per hit.
Re-screens continuously and watches for network fraud signals across sessions, so a cleared customer stays cleared, and a new risk surfaces fast.
Screening and monitoring
The moment a customer is verified, Incode screens them against global sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media watchlists — and alerts you when a list changes.
Every hit, score, and decision is recorded, ready for the regulator.
Beyond onboarding
The identity you verify on day one keeps working. The same platform re-screens and re-verifies your customers at every moment that matters, with no re-enrollment.
Subscribe to a watchlist and get a webhook the moment a screened profile's status changes on a sanctions or PEP list.
Step-up verification confirms it is still your customer before high-value money moves.
Every decision is logged and exportable, so a regulatory audit is a download, not a project.

KYC (Know Your Customer) verification is the regulatory process of confirming a customer's identity, assessing their risk, and screening them against sanctions and watchlists before opening an account or processing transactions.
KYC is the process of verifying customer identity and understanding their risk profile. AML (Anti-Money Laundering) is the broader set of laws and controls designed to prevent financial crime. KYC is a core component of any AML compliance program.
AI-powered KYC reduces verification from days to seconds. Incode completes the average KYC check in 4 seconds with a 98% first-try pass rate, cutting manual review queues significantly.
Customer Due Diligence (CDD) is the standard identity and risk verification required for all customers. Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) adds deeper background checks, source-of-funds analysis, and closer ongoing monitoring for high-risk individuals such as Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs).
Yes. The same KYC and AML checks on this page (document and biometric verification, sanctions and PEP screening, adverse media) run for digital-asset businesses facing FinCEN, FATF, and emerging crypto licensing requirements.
