One platform. Any provider.
Agora is the engine that runs the work, and it is provider-agnostic. Bring your own providers for identity verification, screening and transaction monitoring, or use ours. You do not have to replace anything to begin, and you consolidate onto Agora at whatever pace suits you. Either way, the platform applies your rules, reaches the decision and produces the audit trail.
Firms usually arrive with one of three requirements: a full customer due diligence software platform for onboarding and ongoing CDD, a back-book programme that needs KYC remediation software, or a way to keep files current with periodic and perpetual KYC software. The same engine covers all three.
Why Agora
We build to the outcomes a financial-crime function is measured on.
Decisions that stand up.
The system has been built by financial-crime practitioners with two decades of senior delivery inside UK regulated firms, so each case is built to satisfy an auditor and a supervisor, not just to reach a decision.
The right alerts, not all of them.
Your rules apply inside the engine before alerts are raised, so analysts review what matters and everything cleared is logged with its reason. Fewer false positives, less wasted effort.
A platform, not a change programme.
Configuration replaces custom code, so there is no multi-year build or integration.
Lower cost by design.
One platform replaces the integration, case-management and quality-control layers, and the data providers too if you choose.
How the platform works
Your rules at every stage.
The platform runs onboarding end to end, then keeps each customer under ongoing review.
Resolve
One field opens the case, and the platform resolves the entity from official registries.
Enrich
Nature of business, the ownership tree and beneficial owners, gathered automatically.
Screen
Sanctions, PEP, adverse-media and address screening, with your rules applied before any alert is raised.
Verify
Identity verification of the key parties, with outreach available via our customer portal.
Decide
Risk scoring sets the rating and the level of due diligence.
Evidence
A regulator-defensible audit pack, assembled live and exportable.
Ongoing monitoring: periodic and perpetual KYC, plus trigger-event review.
Agora is provider-agnostic. Connect your existing identity verification, screening and transaction monitoring, or use ours.
