AI agents for fintech risk and compliance operations
We help fintech risk and AML compliance teams automate and strengthen routine customer due diligence tasks with LLMs. Our AI assistants slash cost-to-comply, improve risk detection and free up capacity for investigations that require human expertise and decision making. Fintechs and banks use us to automate workflows like running thorough due diligence on a legal entity, reviewing customer documents like registry extracts, proofs of address etc and remediating false positive alerts from their AML systems.
Diligent provides AI agents to automate KYC/AML risk and compliance workflows for fintechs and banks. It focuses on automating manual tasks, integrating with existing systems, and enabling auditable, policy-aligned processes.
Diligent offers AI agents that can be configured for specific workflows (e.g., merchant risk, AML screening, document verification). Agents connect to the user’s tech stack via API, a web portal, or native integrations with screening tools. Customers upload risk policies to guide agent behavior, deploy in production with analyst oversight, and scale automation while maintaining auditable checks and oversight. Use cases include automatically investigating merchant websites and records, remediating false positives from AML providers, and verifying customer documents against policy requirements.
