AutoKYC customers rarely rely on a single AML data source. High-performing compliance teams blend network breadth from a legacy provider with machine learning signals from a newer entrant, yet they need unified controls for routing, scoring, and escalation. The AutoKYC rules engine and managed analyst pods were built with this multi-provider posture from day one.
Harmonise provider coverage with weighted scoring
Every transaction or person entering the platform is screened across two AML networks in parallel. The rules engine assigns weights to each signal, normalises confidence scores, and surfaces only materially risky matches. This removes the false-positive drift that appears when providers escalate every fuzzy match to operations.
- Apply individual weights per list and per provider to reflect jurisdictional coverage.
- Configure granular allowlists or suppressions that sync back to both networks automatically.
- Log the raw responses for auditors while presenting analysts with a consolidated decision record.
When customers operate in higher-risk corridors, they often increase the secondary provider weight or require dual matches before mitigation. AutoKYC preserves those choices as version-controlled policies so changes are reviewable before shipping.
Escalate intelligently across SaaS and managed teams
Managed analysts work in the same queues as in-house reviewers. Voting rules determine how many people must agree before a decision is final. If the SaaS automation clears an alert automatically, the managed team still sees the decision trail, enabling retrospectives and continuous improvement.
- Hybrid review queues keep SaaS automation and managed specialists aligned.
- The escalation engine routes alerts based on jurisdiction, customer tier, or exposure amount.
- Analysts inherit privacy-by-design guardrails, ensuring sensitive identifiers stay masked unless required.
Audit every rerun and refresh
Ongoing due diligence (ODD) and enhanced due diligence (EDD) flows leverage the same orchestration. Rules trigger re-checks on a cadence or on transaction events. AutoKYC automatically compares new alerts with prior decisions, capturing context for regulators.
“Running two AML providers was operationally impossible before AutoKYC. Now our team focuses on risk rather than reconciling spreadsheets of alerts.” — Chief Compliance Officer, EU EMI
Versioned policies, managed workflows, and immutable audit logs mean risk leaders can prove they exercised informed control—even when automation made the initial decision. It is how regulated firms achieve faster onboarding without conceding governance.
