Frequently asked questions

Can an AI agent validate a KYC file on its own?

No, never. KYC is configured in the red zone: the agent gathers and checks the file, but the onboarding decision stays a mandatory human validation.

Does the agent replace the compliance team?

No. It absorbs the collection and document-verification work so your compliance team can focus on analysing complex cases and the final decision.

Which watchlists does the agent screen against?

The lists configured with your compliance function (sanctions, politically exposed persons, asset freezes), based on your regulatory obligations and risk appetite.

How is traceability ensured?

Every check, every result and every human validation are traced within the LOOP™ governance framework, to meet audit and compliance requirements.

Is this setup compatible with our regulatory obligations?

Deployment follows a governance approach aligned with ISO 42001 / the EU AI Act, co-built with your compliance function to meet your specific obligations.
