Through a single integration, we connect 800+ data sources and 80+ verification partners across 200+ countries, powering KYB, KYC, AML, sanctions screening, and ongoing monitoring for companies like Meta, Airwallex, Fireblocks, and Bridge.
Our AI Agents help compliance teams do more with less, resolving more cases, catching more fraud, and scaling operations without scaling headcount.
We're ~60 people, Series A funded, and obsessed with a single problem: making compliance feel simple for the teams who live in it every day.
Borders shouldn't be blockers. Compliance is hard. AiPrise shouldn't be.
