Everything you need for KYC/AML
Arachnys Unified Search is a single data gateway that allows intelligent retrieval of AML, and screening documents from across 23,000 sources using either the Arachnys UI or using our Unified Search API.
Arachnys Search makes it possible to refine searches using jurisdiction, date, adverse terms and other parameters getting the results you need. Searching for structured data is now simplified meaning you can fulfil KYC processes quickly by allowing automated attribute comparison, helping you spend less time with false positives. Move away from using a generic search engine optimised for profits and advertising and to one that is specialised in identifying risk.
A single unified search syntax allows you to consolidate onboarding processes across jurisdictions and geographies and include new data sources as soon as they become available and nothing is out of reach thanks to the Universal Data Adaptor, a built in tool that allows capturing data from outside our ecosystem.
By connecting you to specialised data we ensure that you can build accurate risk profiles without the worry of missing important information.
