First AML and Know Your Customer Join Forces to Simplify Global Business Verification

Last Updated on:

First AML, a top-tier provider of anti-money laundering (AML) software, has announced a strategic collaboration with Know Your Customer, a leading global provider of business verification technology. This alliance aims to elevate Know Your Business (KYB), KYC, and AML processes for regulated firms and financial institutions operating globally.

As part of this partnership, Know Your Customer’s advanced registry technology has been fully integrated into First AML’s Source platform. Users can now instantly access company registry information from more than 140 jurisdictions, verify corporate structures, retrieve official company documentation, and unravel complex beneficial ownership networks—all within a single platform.

“This partnership enhances what our customers already experience through Source,” said Bion Behdin, CRO and Co-Founder of First AML. “By embedding Know Your Customer’s registry technology, we’ve strengthened our ability to automate KYB at scale, without adding complexity. It removes manual, fragmented steps from business verification, making onboarding faster, insights deeper and compliance more robust for firms operating across borders.”

With mounting international regulatory expectations, this integrated approach empowers compliance teams to handle entity verification across borders more efficiently. It reduces the need for time-consuming data collection and ensures consistency in how business identities are validated.

“We are excited to work closely with First AML to provide financial and regulated businesses with a comprehensive business verification solution,” said Claus Christensen, CEO and Co-Founder of Know Your Customer. “Our robust expertise and expansive access to company registries worldwide, coupled with First AML’s innovative technology, will empower financial organisations to establish tailored business compliance rules that align seamlessly with their risk appetite and operational requirements.”

This solution is tailored for firms in the finance, legal, and professional services sectors working across different legal systems. By automating verification and compliance tasks, the platform speeds up onboarding while ensuring full adherence to complex regulatory standards.

As financial crime grows increasingly sophisticated and compliance demands increase, this partnership delivers a future-ready solution for firms committed to secure, efficient operations.
