Local vs Global Data

Why Google is no longer a viable solution for KYC/AML investigation & monitoring

Highly regulated institutions face many challenges when dealing with clients and jurisdictions deemed as high-risk. Typically, companies need to go deeper and broader with AML and compliance investigations, which can be extremely time-consuming depending on the tools used. Gaining access to reliable, accurate and up-to-date content on lesser-known entities and individuals is getting harder.
