How it works

The product’s agent architecture handles the entire screening workflow:

Automated API integration – seamless connection to internal and external data sources.

Bilingual name matching – supports both English names and Chinese characters (Hanzi) with high accuracy.

Enhanced verification – cross‑checks Date of Birth (DOB) and additional information for true identity validation.

Multi‑source de‑duplication – compares multiple texts and data sources to eliminate duplicates and pinpoint true hits.

Direct assessment output – delivers a ready‑to‑use evaluation, fully automating what used to be a manual, step‑by‑step KYC chain.

Key benefits

Drastically reduced manual work – agents handle the heavy lifting, freeing compliance teams for higher‑value tasks.

Higher efficiency & fewer errors – automated matching and verification eliminate common manual mistakes.

Solving the Chinese name challenge – traditional systems struggle with Chinese character variations and near‑matches; our AI agents accurately screen Hanzi names without tedious manual review.

Lower false alarms – intelligent de‑duplication and multi‑source verification significantly cut false positives, improving true hit detection.

Stronger AML/CFT effectiveness – by streamlining name screening and reducing operational friction, the product enhances overall anti‑money laundering and counter‑terrorist financing controls.

“This multi‑agent product transforms a historically labour‑intensive part of KYC into an automated, accurate and fast process – especially for Chinese name screening, where legacy systems often fall short,” said our key partner. “We are excited to partner with our regtech data partner to deliver this leap forward in compliance automation.”

Next Steps

We are now in discussions to explore collaboration opportunities with several interested major financial institution clients, including a large Hong Kong‑headquartered commercial bank. The next phase will focus on deepening engagement and moving towards concrete deployment with these prospective partners.
