# Strise > Strise is the Autonomous FinCrime Department. It automates the full compliance lifecycle for financial institutions: onboarding, screening, monitoring, remediation, and risk scoring. Compliance teams act only when something changes. Everything else runs itself. ## Company overview Strise is an AI-powered AML automation and compliance intelligence platform headquartered in Oslo, Norway with offices in London, UK. The platform turns manual, periodic compliance work into a continuous, autonomous operation. New customers onboard in hours, alerts are triaged automatically, and portfolios are monitored in real time. Analysts focus on judgment calls, not data collection. Strise serves regulated industries including banking, insurance, payment services, legal, investment, and asset management. It is trusted by 70% of Nordic tier-1 banks and backed by Atomico, Maki.vc, and Curiosity. The platform is SOC 2 Type 2 certified, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, and fully GDPR compliant, with auditable AI models and a full audit trail on every decision. With Strise, the compliance lifecycle runs autonomously by default. New customers onboard in hours, alerts are triaged before they reach the team, and the full portfolio is monitored continuously. When something changes, the right person knows. When nothing changes, the case closes itself. ## Key results - 11.5 million entities screened for a leading payments company. - 80% of routine cases automated. - 50% less time spent on complex cases at a Big Four firm. - €530k saved in year one with 69% fewer analyst hours at a top-5 advisory firm. - 30% reduction in false positives reported by SpareBank 1 SMN. ## How Strise works Strise pulls registry data, resolves ownership, and extracts information from documents with AI, building a living business record for every entity. It turns risk policy into a scoring engine where routine cases clear automatically and complex cases surface with context. Forms go to clients when data is needed, AI processes what comes back, and every decision is documented with a full audit trail. The platform is built around three core modules: - **SuperData™**: The data aggregation layer. Pulls and resolves data from company registries, sanctions lists, PEP databases, adverse media, and other global sources across 250+ jurisdictions and 10B+ corporate records into a unified knowledge graph. - **RiskLens™**: The configurable risk scoring engine. Translates compliance policy into automated, consistent risk assessments. Different thresholds for different risk tiers, configurable without a developer. - **Workbench™**: The analyst workspace. Complex cases are reviewed with full context, AI-generated summaries, and decision support. Every check done, every exception flagged, one decision to make. --- ## Product: KYB Onboarding **URL:** https://strise.ai/product/kyb-onboarding **Headline:** More businesses. Same team. **Summary:** Routine cases clear automatically. Complex ones move faster than before. ### The problem Strise solves - 80% of cases are low-risk but all hit L1 review, creating overhead instead of diligence. - Document requests happen over email, taking 3 to 5 days per case with multiple follow-ups. - UBO structures take hours to untangle, especially across borders with foreign registries, multiple languages, and missing data. - The case file lives in four places at once: screening in one platform, UBO in another, documents over email, notes in a CRM. Nobody has the full picture. - When a regulator asks how a decision was reached, the answer is scattered across Word docs and screenshots. - Onboardings started weeks ago but cases are still open because clients replied to the wrong email or submitted the wrong document. ### Key stats - 80% of routine cases automated. - 30 minutes per complex case, down from 3 hours. - More complex cases handled per analyst with the same team and no new hires. ### How it works 1. **Application in. Work begins.** A new business arrives. Strise begins preparing the case file immediately. 2. **All data checked. All at once.** Company records, filings, ownership, and watchlists fetched simultaneously. 3. **Risk scored. Flags surfaced.** Risk assessed against your policy. Flags surfaced, everything else moves forward. 4. **File ready. Analyst decides.** Every check done, every exception flagged. One decision to make. ### Features - **UBO mapping across any structure.** Multi-layer ownership and holding companies resolved automatically. Beneficial owners surfaced without manual tracing. - **Documents read and extracted by AI.** Registry filings and declared documents from clients read, parsed, and key data extracted automatically. - **Low-risk cases close without a human.** Your risk policy defines what routine looks like. Cases that meet the threshold are verified, scored, and closed automatically. - **AI prepares the narrative. You make the call.** For every case Strise processes, AI generates a plain-language summary of what was found, what risk applies, and what needs attention. - **Complete audit trail from day one.** Every action logged and every decision documented throughout the process. - **Your CRM and CLM, connected via API.** Strise pulls what it needs, works the case, and pushes results back. Your records don't move. Your systems stay in sync. ### FAQ **How does Strise connect to our existing systems?** Flexibly. Strise can run as a standalone system, link into yours, or integrate fully via API with your CRM, CLM, or case management system. **What happens with complex ownership structures?** Strise maps the structure automatically: corporate chains, multiple UBOs, cross-border entities. When the chain is too complex for automation, it flags it and hands off to your analyst with everything already resolved. **Which registries do you cover?** Strise integrates data from over 250 jurisdictions globally. Coverage includes 10B+ corporate records. **How long does onboarding actually take?** For low-risk cases: hours, not days. Strise runs the checks, scores the risk, and routes straight-through cases automatically. **What do analysts actually do when Strise handles the case?** Review, override, approve. The case arrives with everything resolved and scored. The analyst checks the summary, reviews any flags, and makes the decision. **How does document collection work?** When documents are needed, Strise sends a branded client form specific to what's missing, not a generic checklist. Responses are tracked, parsed, and added to the case automatically. --- ## Product: KYC Onboarding **URL:** https://strise.ai/product/kyc-onboarding **Headline:** Onboard more. No friction. **Summary:** Routine cases clear automatically. Exceptions land on the right desk. ### The problem Strise solves - 80% of cases are low-risk individuals, but teams review all of them. Simple cases sit in the same queue as complex ones. - Document requests stall on unanswered emails with no tracking and no automatic follow-up. - L1 analysts spend an hour building a case file instead of reviewing it: pulling data from screening, collecting documents, assembling a risk view from scratch. - Legacy screening systems keep firing the same stale, irrelevant alerts. - PEP hits come back with name matches that tell you nothing useful. Every potential hit lands on a human who has to investigate manually. - Multiple document requests go out one at a time because nobody mapped requirements upfront. ### Key stats - 80% of low-risk cases closed without analyst review. - Hours, not days, to collect and verify documents. - 76% efficiency improvement. Same analysts, significantly more capacity. ### How it works 1. **Case arrives. Work begins.** A new individual arrives. Strise begins screening and risk assessment immediately. 2. **Screened and enriched.** PEP and sanctions checked, adverse media reviewed, source of wealth verified, all at once. 3. **Scored. Cases routed.** Risk calculated against your policy. Low-risk cases resolved, high-risk cases escalated. 4. **File ready. Analyst decides.** Your analyst opens a complete case file with every check done. One decision to make. ### Features - **Low-risk cases cleared automatically.** Your policy sets the threshold. Cases that meet it close without analyst time, with audit log built. - **ID collection. No email chains.** Automated ID requests, real-time tracking, and smart follow-up so documents don't get lost in email threads. - **Risk scoring built around your rules.** Configure thresholds for jurisdiction, industry, PEP proximity, and more, without a developer. - **Global PEP and sanctions screening.** Every individual checked against global PEP lists, sanctions databases, and adverse media. Intelligent filtering removes noise. - **Adverse media that filters itself.** Global news sources scanned and scored for relevance. Recent, material hits surfaced. Stale or irrelevant content filtered out. - **Audit trail built in from the start.** Every step logged automatically. Every decision recorded with its source and rationale. ### FAQ **What does straight-through processing actually look like?** A new individual enters the workflow. Strise initiates screening and risk assessment at the same time. If everything clears, the case closes automatically with full documentation. **Can low-risk individuals be approved without L1 review?** Yes. You configure the threshold based on your policy. Cases that meet it close without analyst involvement, fully logged and auditable. **How is individual risk scored?** Risk is calculated across multiple factors: PEP proximity, jurisdiction, source of wealth, screening results, and more. You set the thresholds. **How does PEP and sanctions screening work?** Every individual is checked against global PEP lists, sanctions databases, and adverse media simultaneously. AI assesses match quality and filters false positives. --- ## Product: Ongoing Due Diligence (ODD) **URL:** https://strise.ai/product/ongoing-due-diligence **Headline:** What Changed. Nothing Else. **Summary:** What changed reaches your analyst. What didn't, closes automatically. ### The problem Strise solves - Review cycles run on a schedule, but risk doesn't follow a calendar. - 80% of reviews find nothing, yet the team does every one manually. - Changes happen between reviews and go undetected until the next cycle. - One analyst, thousands of reviews, three hours each. - Backlogs build past SLA while the next cycle is already piling up. - Five tabs open, one job to do, an hour gone before work even starts. ### Key stats - 8 out of 10 reviews close without an analyst. Zero touch. - 80% automation rate in production. 55% from day one. - 70% less time spent on manual review work per case. ### How it works 1. **Onboarded. Monitoring live.** Every onboarded entity enters continuous monitoring from day one. Risk tier sets the frequency. 2. **All signals. Always on.** Director changes, ownership shifts, sanctions, and adverse media monitored continuously. 3. **Nothing changed. Closes.** Entities with no material changes confirmed and closed automatically. Audit log built. 4. **Change detected. Case ready.** Your analyst gets a complete case file: the change documented, evidence cited, context provided. ### Features - **Know the moment something changes.** Alert feed surfaces director changes, sanctions hits, and adverse media as they happen, not months later. - **Alerts triaged. Only real matches reach your analyst.** For every PEP, sanctions, and AMS alert, AI assesses match confidence and separates likely hits from false positives. - **Every alert tells you what changed and what to do.** Each alert includes what changed, the compliance implications, and the recommended next action. - **Your risk rules set the thresholds.** Set what triggers a review and what resolves without one. Different rules for different risk tiers. - **Your entire portfolio. Risk-ranked. At a glance.** Sorted by current risk level, open alerts, and upcoming review dates, all visible at once. - **Connects to your CRM, TMS, and CLM from day one.** Push alerts and review outcomes into the tools your team already uses. - **Every decision recorded. Regulator-ready from day one.** Every check, every closure, every analyst decision logged with source, timestamp, and rationale. ### FAQ **How often does Strise check for changes?** Continuously. Monitoring runs in real time across registries, sanctions lists, PEP databases, and adverse media sources. **What actually triggers a review?** Material changes: director changes, ownership shifts, sanctions hits, adverse media, and registry updates. You configure what counts as material. **Do entities ever close without anyone looking at them?** Yes. Entities with no material changes are confirmed and closed automatically with a full audit log. Your team only sees what changed. **Does this replace periodic reviews?** It can. Strise replaces calendar-driven reviews with event-driven monitoring. Reviews are triggered by change, not by schedule. --- ## Product: Identity Verification (IDV) **URL:** https://strise.ai/product/id-verification **Headline:** Docs Collected.
