Identify high-risk customers and relationships to safeguard reputation and minimize regulatory fines with SymphonyAI’s AI-powered adverse media screening. This tool captures complex risks using broad-ranging data sets from news, media, publications, corporate records, and public records, including police or bankruptcy records. It automates investigative searches, traditionally performed manually by compliance teams, boosting efficiency and productivity. Regulators like Global FATF, European 6AMLD, United Kingdom FCA, APAC MAS, HKMA, and AUSTRAC mandate adverse media screening in their AML guidance, requiring financial institutions to implement verifiable searches to build a client risk profile. SymphonyAI provides high-precision searches in real time across 98 languages and more than 15,000 media sources, including emerging markets, using keyword flags and natural language processing techniques for accuracy. By integrating adverse media screening into compliance workflows and applying customer risk scores to every step of the AML process, changes in risk scores dynamically adjust a customer’s risk profile. This continuously updated risk level serves as an early monitoring system, a risk parameter within transaction monitoring, and supports alerts investigation and enhanced due diligence processes. SymphonyAI offers dynamic, auditable AI-powered monitoring, instant access to a proprietary media library across 220 jurisdictions and over one billion articles, information gathered in 98 languages, and access to 15,000 media sources. This solution enhances KYC, simplifies risk assessment and decision-making across the AML value chain, improves productivity by reducing irrelevant search results and false positives, supports case management and enhanced due diligence, and provides comprehensive media article evidence in results.
