Acuris Risk Intelligence partners with Data Zoo to enable a market-leading KYC and CDD solution

Acuris Risk Intelligence, a trusted and independent provider of data intelligence for anti-money laundering, anti-corruption and cybersecurity professionals, is now officially in partnership with Data Zoo, a global provider for identity verification solutions, to enable a market-leading KYC and CDD solution in identity verification.

 

Acuris Risk Intelligence is one of the top global providers of proprietary data on Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), sanctions and anti-money laundering data for due diligence and compliance. Through this partnership, Data Zoo’s access to Acuris data will vastly improve their capacity to screen their customers against a daily updated list of PEPs, sanctions and adverse media, resulting in an innovative and compliant solution for their clients.

 

“It’s been a real pleasure working and partnering with Tony Fitzgibbon and the Data Zoo team,” Christophe Barel, Managing Director, Acuris Risk & Compliance Asia-Pacific, commented. “They have an impressive set of global identity solutions with unparalleled access to the most comprehensive identity data in the APAC region. Through joining forces with Acuris Risk Intelligence and using our data, they’re able to bring a market-leading KYC and CDD solution to an increasingly demanding market.”

 

“The addition of the Acuris data into Data Zoo’s IDU identity solution provides a unique service offering within the APAC region,” Tony Fitzgibbon, Chief Executive Officer at Data Zoo, stated, adding, “Data Zoo’s vision has been to create a single platform that can be hosted in any jurisdiction, and will enable customers to perform identity checks, leverage Biometric capabilities and conduct watchlist screening instantaneously.”

 

Data Zoo offers a multi-layered identity verification solution which clients can access screened individual profile images (where available), and they can match them against provided identity documentation; all from one API.

 

Acuris Risk Intelligence was established in 2004 as C6 and rose to become one of the top suppliers of proprietary data on PEPs, sanctions and AML data for due diligence and compliance. It was acquired by Acuris in 2015. Today, Acuris Risk Intelligence combines a world-class dataset – that now includes fraud and cybersecurity content – with expert human analysts and state-of-the-art technology to help organisations manage the risk in business relationships effectively. Clients access our intelligence via a SaaS platform, or via API and feed technology so risk protection is built into the way they operate. Our focus areas include Third Party Risk, Anti-Money Laundering and Cyber Security.
