Waters Rankings 2024 gold stars

Overview

KYCP is designed to centralize firms’ client lifecycle management functions, automating know-your-customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) workflows. It addresses challenges around fragmented data, manual inefficiencies, and slow onboarding, and features a real-time, no-code engine reducing human error and enabling instant adaptation to evolving regulations. This streamlines due diligence processes while ensuring continuous risk oversight.

The solution

This orchestration layer consolidates data into a single record while the no-code, real-time risk engine automates scoring and workflows to replace manual tasks. Outreach tools automate onboarding flows, removing follow-ups and reducing onboarding times by up to 55% while maintaining perpetual KYC compliance.

Winning the best AML compliance solution provider category validates our mission to deliver tangible benefits to clients. It reflects our focus on digital transformation and ‘first-time-right’ onboarding. This award reinforces our commitment to no-code tools that empower teams to scale effectively while strengthening regulator confidence

Secret sauce  

According to KYCP, its biggest USP is its configuration studio that allows clients to adapt the entire policy through a no-code interface. It enables non-technical users to update workflows and policies instantly, adapting the real-time risk orchestration that automatically recalculates scores as data is ingested. A central console integrates embedded outreach, automated screening, and document management into a single interface.

Recent milestones

Recent releases of the KYCP platform include a Self-Check-In module for remote onboarding and a Pay-As-You-Go token system for flexible consumption. The platform also added embedded screening for politically exposed persons (PEPs), sanctions, and adverse media, plus Companies House UK integration. A new Data Retention module further automates record management to ensure compliance with global data governance standards.

Product roadmap

Future enhancements will focus on advanced automation and AI-assisted processes to improve efficiency. Key roadmap items include digital signatures, document verification, and automated identification and verification. The firm is also exploring AI-driven features like adverse media summarization and predictive effort forecasting to support human decision-making.
