smartKYC’s AI software is used by banks to automate customer due diligence whether for remediation, onboarding, refresh or continuous monitoring; our technology drives faster, better, and more cost- effective KYC at every stage of the relationship – liberating human effort to focus on decision-making rather than laborious screening and research. smartKYC integrates all relevant KYC sources - external watchlists, media archives, open web search, private company data, internal blacklists and, like a human, it reads everything and extracts useful intelligence in the form of facts. smartKYC presents facts about risks like adverse media, but also provides insights into information like source of wealth, network risk and even ESG misdemeanours. Sophisticated hit scoring maximises relevance and minimises false positives. All of this is done at speed and at scale and, as such, straight through processing opportunities become obvious. In refresh or continuous monitoring mode, smartKYC watches only for net new risks as they emerge and never repeats what is already known.

AI Automation of K1s - A Technology Life Raft for Family Offices and UHNW individuals
Family Offices and UHNWIs are challenged by multiple factors including many of the usual suspects—investment opportunity access, investment management, family dynamics and governance, etc. But at the very top of the list is regulatory and tax compliance. In an environment of considerable regulatory scrutiny, managers of family offices wealth managers are squeezed by massive increases in tax code complexity, massive volumes of alternative investments, and unforgiving deadlines. Given a historically tight labor market, the usual answers of hiring more people and working them for longer hours are no longer viable. Technology to the rescue. We will discuss transformative technology solutions for the family office and wealth managers that automate away the pain, complexity, and much of the risk of alternative investment tax compliance.
