Arva AI is transforming financial crime intelligence with cutting-edge AI Agents that automate manual human review in AML and compliance. We help financial institutions scale investigations faster, improve consistency, and reduce operational costs by up to **80%**.
As a **Business Development Representative (BDR)**, you’ll work closely with the CEO, GTM Leads, and Sales to generate and qualify high-quality leads, support pipeline growth, and create first-touch engagement with prospective customers. This is a foundational role with clear progression as Arva scales.
#### The Role
As a BDR, you’ll be on the front line of Arva’s growth engine—introducing our mission and product to fintechs and banks globally, and helping convert interest into qualified sales opportunities.
You will play a key role in:
- Building early relationships with prospects
- Creating momentum in our outbound and inbound motions
- Laying the groundwork for a scalable, repeatable GTM motion
#### What You’ll Do
- Research and identify target companies and stakeholders aligned with our ICP
- Source and qualify outbound leads using structured frameworks (e.g. PACTT)
- Triage and qualify inbound leads from marketing and partnerships
- Engage daily with executives and compliance leaders across fintechs and banks
- Create a strong first impression of Arva early in the buying journey

### Our Core Principles
#### Deliver Value Fast
Speed starts with clarity. We first understand what value actually means, for the customer, the business, or the system, and then take the shortest credible path to delivering it. We move quickly without cutting corners on quality, security, or trust.
#### Outcome Obsessed
We obsess over details and take full ownership of wider outcomes, not just tasks. We think like the user, execute with rigor, and validate that every detail works in real conditions. If something falls short, we fix it properly and prevent recurrence, always raising the bar.
#### Relentless Urgency
We move with urgency because time matters. We prioritise what truly moves the outcome, make decisions with imperfect information, and act decisively. Urgency means focus, momentum, and driving meaningful progress without unnecessary delay.
#### About You
- You’re curious and empathetic—you genuinely enjoy understanding customer problems
- You’re confident communicating live (calls, video, in-person) and open to learning sales skills quickly
- You’re proactive and creative in how you approach prospecting and outreach
- You enjoy structure and are motivated by improving processes and repeatability
- You’re resilient—comfortable with rejection and motivated by progress and wins
- You have excellent written and spoken English with a strong sense of tone and messaging
- You have **1–2+ years of experience** (commercial, operational, academic, or equivalent)
#### Nice to Have (But Not Required)
- Prior experience in sales, BDR/SDR, consulting, or customer-facing roles
- Exposure to fintech, compliance, risk, or B2B SaaS
- Evidence of high achievement in any domain (academics, sport, entrepreneurship, leadership)
#### Why Join Arva AI?
- Join an early-stage, high-impact startup with real ownership and visibility
- Learn directly from the founding team and GTM leaders
- Clear progression path into senior BDR, AE, or GTM roles
- Competitive salary + equity, with bi-annual salary reviews and annual equity refresh

### How Keep Cut 60+ Hours of Manual Work with Arva AI
When Keep, a fast-scaling fintech platform, began to expand its customer base across multiple markets, its compliance team quickly found themselves overwhelmed by the volume of manual reviews.
Every new customer, vendor, or transaction flagged for potential risk required hours of manual investigation across disparate data sources, from adverse media checks to watchlist screenings. What started as a few extra hours a week soon snowballed into a significant operational burden—consuming more than 60 hours of analyst time each month.
Keep’s leadership knew that continuing down this path wasn’t sustainable. Not only was it draining the team’s resources, but it also introduced the risk of human error and inconsistent decisions under pressure. They needed a solution that could scale with their growth, while ensuring the highest standard of compliance and risk oversight.
That’s when they turned to **Arva AI**.
Unlike traditional screening tools, Arva’s agentic AI approach doesn’t just return raw matches. Instead, it reads, contextualises, and reasons through alerts much like a seasoned analyst would—only faster and with consistent accuracy. For Keep, this meant that their compliance team no longer had to sift through endless irrelevant hits or spend time cross-checking sources. Arva’s Screening AI handled the heavy lifting, surfacing only the alerts that truly required human judgment.
The impact was immediate. Within the first month of deployment, Keep eliminated more than **60 hours of manual review work**, freeing their compliance officers to focus on higher-value activities such as customer onboarding, policy refinement, and investigative work. Operational costs dropped, decision-making became faster and more consistent, and the compliance function went from being a bottleneck to a strategic enabler for growth.
Today, Keep continues to scale with confidence, knowing that Arva AI provides a reliable, explainable, and efficient foundation for its compliance operations. As one of Keep’s compliance managers put it:
> “Working with Arva has fundamentally changed how we handle risk and compliance operations. The platform’s ability to surface relevant adverse media and prioritize critical alerts with context has saved our team countless hours. It strikes the perfect balance between AI-driven insights and human control — empowering our analysts to move faster and with more confidence. What impressed us most is how adaptable Arva is to our workflows. It’s not just another tool; it’s become a core part of how we work.”
#### About Arva AI
Arva AI helps banks, fintechs, and financial institutions scale their compliance operations through **agentic AI**. Backed by Y Combinator and the Google AI Fund, Arva’s platform provides explainable, audit-ready AI agents for **AML, KYC, KYB, and screening**.
With Arva, compliance teams reduce false positives, accelerate onboarding, and strengthen financial crime defenses — without adding headcount.

## Trusted by authorities worldwide
Arva AI meets rigorous standards set by leading regulatory bodies including FATF, FCA, MAS, OFAC, OCC, AUSTRAC and more. Our commitment to transparency and security enables institutions to scale with confidence.
## Robust benchmarking to measure AI performance
In high-stakes domains like AML, responsible AI deployment is not optional—it’s foundational. Arva has built its platform from the ground up to embed rigorous controls and auditability into every AI-powered decision. Here's how we ensure safe, transparent, and reliable AI operations:
Strict AI Model Risk Governance
Transparency & Explainability
Human-in-the-Loop Controls
Conservative Decision-Making Philosophy
Multi-Source Validation
Continuous Monitoring and Improvement
### Strict AI model risk governance
Arva uses a structured AI model risk governance framework, including pre-deployment testing, benchmark-based validation, and version-controlled releases. Each agent undergoes rigorous evaluation to ensure decisions are accurate, consistent, and aligned with customer expectations and compliance risk profiles.
### Transparency & explainability
All AI-generated verdicts come with clear, traceable rationale. Analysts can see exactly _why_ a decision was made, including contributing sources, relevance scoring, and narrative cues. This ensures auditability and supports regulatory defensibility.
### Human-in-the-loop controls
Arva maintains robust human oversight through analyst-in-the-loop workflows. Analysts can override or adjust AI recommendations, and every override feeds back into the model's learning cycle. No critical compliance decisions are made without human review where ambiguity exists.
### Conservative decision-making philosophy
Arva’s AI errs on the side of caution. In cases where the signal is weak, ambiguous, or multi-interpretable, the system flags the case for manual review with an “AI Recommended Verdict,” rather than making an autonomous decision.
### Multi-source validation
Before assigning risk or relevance, the AI validates information across multiple sources to ensure consistency and credibility. This reduces the likelihood of false positives or biased decisions based on a single unreliable source.
### Continuous monitoring and improvement
AI performance is monitored in real time and benchmarked against curated datasets. Any model drift or degradation is identified early, with retraining or fallback mechanisms ready for deployment. Analyst feedback is actively used to fine-tune future model behavior.
###### "What impressed us most is how adaptable Arva is to our workflows. It’s not just another tool; it’s become a core part of how we work."

The intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and financial crime is transforming illicit activities and the methods to combat them. AI technologies provide sophisticated tools for criminals while also offering unprecedented opportunities for financial institutions and regulatory bodies to enhance defenses, detect suspicious activities, and prevent financial crime.
This report examines the dual-edged impact of AI on financial crime, exploring escalating threats, emerging typologies of AI-driven illicit activities, challenges faced by stakeholders, and the potential of AI in enhancing fraud detection and prevention. It also addresses ethical considerations and regulatory adaptations needed in this evolving environment.
Proactive and collaborative strategies are essential to harness AI for good while mitigating its misuse in financial crime.
#### The Dual-Edged Sword of AI in Financial Crime
AI's rapid evolution has permeated the financial sector, enhancing customer experiences and operational efficiency. However, sophisticated AI tools can be exploited for financial crime, with criminals leveraging AI for advanced attacks, automated fraudulent schemes, and evasion of traditional detection methods.
Conversely, AI offers a powerful arsenal for financial institutions and regulatory bodies to strengthen defenses, identify illicit activities, and safeguard the financial system. This report analyzes this interplay, exploring AI as a double-edged sword in fraud, money laundering, and other illicit financial activities. It examines recent trends, emerging threats, technological solutions, ethical dilemmas, and regulatory responses to provide a holistic understanding of this evolving landscape.
#### The Rise of AI-Enabled Financial Crime: Trends and Statistics
AI is significantly transforming the [financial crime landscape](https://www.arva.ai/blog/financial-crime-types-and-impact), increasing both the sophistication and scale of illicit activities. In November 2024, FinCEN highlighted an increase in suspicious activity reports involving deepfake media in fraud schemes. DPRK-linked hackers stole approximately USD 800 million in 2024, with potential for AI to scale such operations.
Despite these concerns, the Napier AI / AML Index 2024-2025 estimates global economies could save $3.13 trillion annually by using AI to detect and prevent money laundering and terrorist financing.
Global cross-border payment volumes are projected to exceed $200 trillion by 2025, increasing the complexity of AML compliance. Global cybercrime damage is expected to reach $10.5 trillion annually by 2025, with AI-driven phishing and ransomware as contributing factors.
A 2023 PwC survey indicated 62% of financial institutions used AI/ML for AML, expected to rise to 90% in 2025. AuthenticID found identity fraud increased to 2.1% of transactions in 2024, linked to AI adoption by cybercriminals.
BioCatch found over half of financial institutions lost between $5 million and $25 million to AI-based threats in 2023. AI systems are increasingly gaining access to essential tools, and AI models are being programmed to optimize specific goals. Europol warned in 2025 that AI is turbocharging organized crime.
**Table 1: Recent Statistics on AI-Enabled Financial Crime (2024-2025)**
| | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Source of Statistic** | **Key Finding/Statistic** | **Date of Report/Finding** | **Relevance to AI-Enabled Financial Crime** |
| FinCEN | Increase in suspicious activity reports describing suspected use of deepfake media in fraud schemes targeting financial institutions. | November 2024 | Highlights the growing threat of AI-generated impersonation in the financial sector. |
| TRM Labs | DPRK-linked hackers stole approximately USD 800 million in 2024, with potential for AI to scale such operations. | 2024 | Indicates the potential for AI to amplify sophisticated cyber-enabled financial crime. |

| AuthenticID Study | Identity fraud rate increased to 2.1% of transactions in 2024, linked to AI adoption by cybercriminals; deepfake-related fraud affected 46% of financial institutions. | 2024 | Provides empirical evidence of the correlation between criminals' use of AI and the rise in sophisticated fraud. |
| BioCatch Survey | Over half of financial institutions lost between $5 million and $25 million to AI-based threats in 2023. | 2023 | Quantifies the significant financial impact of AI-powered fraud on financial institutions. |
#### Emerging Typologies of AI-Driven Financial Crime
Emerging threats include deepfakes and synthetic media fraud, where AI creates realistic fake videos and audio for impersonation and extortion.
Criminals are increasingly leveraging AI to create highly realistic fake videos and audio recordings. This technology allows them to impersonate executives, often in what is termed CEO fraud, where a deepfake of a company's leader is used to convince employees to transfer funds to fraudulent accounts.
Another significant emerging typology is synthetic identity fraud. This involves criminals using AI to combine legitimate and fake personal information to create entirely new, fictitious identities.
These synthetic identities are then used to open fraudulent bank, credit card, cryptocurrency, and other financial accounts. What makes this type of fraud particularly challenging is that these identities often have a seemingly legitimate credit history built up gradually over time, making them difficult to distinguish from genuine individuals. The gradual establishment of creditworthiness allows fraudsters to potentially conduct substantial financial crimes before their activities are detected, as these identities can pass many traditional fraud detection checks.
Automated and enhanced cyberattacks use AI to automate phishing campaigns and adapt malware. This could involve the use of AI-powered synthetic ID generators to create the fake identities needed to open numerous accounts, as well as the automation of cryptocurrency account creation, which can significantly accelerate the velocity at which illicit funds can be moved and obscured.
#### Challenges Faced by Financial Institutions and Regulatory Bodies
The rise of AI-driven financial crime presents major challenges for both financial institutions and regulatory bodies. One of the most pressing issues is keeping up with the rapid pace of technological change. Criminals are quick to adopt AI tools to enhance their illicit activities, often outpacing the development of countermeasures. This creates a constant arms race, where institutions struggle to defend against emerging threats that traditional security measures may not catch.
The realism of AI-generated content introduces yet another problem—distinguishing genuine customer interactions from fraud. Deepfakes and synthetic media can convincingly mimic voices and faces, making it difficult even for trained professionals to spot impersonations. Traditional verification methods, like voice or video ID checks, are becoming less reliable, pushing the need for stronger, AI-based authentication tools.
A significant hurdle is the lack of skilled professionals who understand both AI technologies and financial crime typologies. This talent gap limits the effective deployment of advanced security solutions. Bridging it will require targeted training and the development of interdisciplinary expertise within both the public and private sectors.
Regulatory uncertainty also adds complexity. Many jurisdictions are still developing AI-related policies, and the global landscape remains fragmented. Without consistent frameworks, institutions face difficulties implementing AI tools while staying compliant. Clearer, more unified regulations are essential to promote safe and responsible innovation.
#### Opportunities: Harnessing AI for Enhanced Fraud Detection and Prevention
Despite the significant challenges posed by AI-driven financial crime, artificial intelligence also presents unprecedented opportunities to enhance fraud detection, prevention, and investigation within the financial sector.
AI offers opportunities for enhanced accuracy in:
- Detecting suspicious activity
- Reduction of false positives
- Real-time transaction monitoring
- [AML compliance using AI](https://www.arva.ai/blog/boosting-aml-compliance-with-ai-in-2025)
- Predictive analytics for proactive risk identification
- Improved customer due diligence (CDD)
- Improved Know Your Customer (KYC) processes
- AI-powered text analysis (NLP)
- Collaboration and information sharing
- Automation of reporting and compliance tasks
- Anomaly detection beyond financial transactions
#### Adapting Regulatory Frameworks to the Age of AI in Financial Crime
Regulatory frameworks are evolving to address AI-driven financial crime. Some jurisdictions are introducing AI-specific regulations, focusing on transparency, explainability, bias mitigation, fairness, data governance, privacy, risk management, and oversight.
Future trends include outcome-based and risk-based regulations, international collaboration and harmonization of AI regulations. AI will create new roles requiring different skill sets, focusing on the development, maintenance, and oversight of AI systems. Financial institutions need to consider the workforce implications of AI adoption and invest in upskilling and reskilling their employees to adapt to the changing demands of an AI-driven compliance environment.
Given the transnational nature of financial crime, especially in the digital age, increased international collaboration and harmonization of AI regulations in the financial sector are also expected. Global efforts will be necessary to address the cross-border challenges posed by AI-driven illicit activities, and financial institutions operating internationally should prepare for potential convergence in regulatory requirements.
#### Successful Applications of AI in Preventing and Mitigating Financial Crime
Despite the challenges, numerous financial institutions and organizations are already successfully leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance their capabilities in preventing and mitigating financial crime.
[Arva AI's platform offering](https://www.arva.ai/use-cases) allows companies the ability to manage alerts and exceptions at a fraction of the time using advanced AI tooling that can be leveraged for KYB, Transaction Monitoring and Screening.

#### The Future Landscape: Anticipating AI-Driven Financial Crime and Countermeasures
The future of financial crime prevention in the age of artificial intelligence will depend on the ongoing innovation in both AI-driven criminal tactics and the corresponding countermeasures. Enhanced collaboration and information sharing between all stakeholders, coupled with a commitment to developing a skilled workforce capable of understanding and addressing these evolving threats, will be essential in safeguarding the integrity of the financial system and protecting individuals and institutions from the harmful impacts of financial crime. As AI continues to evolve, so too must our strategies and our resolve in harnessing its power for good while mitigating its potential for misuse in the ongoing fight against illicit finance.
Future trends include:
- Increased sophistication and scale of AI-enabled financial crime

## Account Executive, Mid-market
Full-time
On site
New York City, USA
Feb 16, 2026
[Apply](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/arva-ai/jobs/hAaKN5R-account-executive-mid-market)
**Location:** In person, NYC
**Type:** Full-Time
**Note on Salary:** For exceptional candidates with strong product impact and relevant experience, we are open to offering compensation above the specified range.
### About Arva
Arva is building the world's leading **agentic AI solution for financial crime compliance operations**.
Backed by **Google** and **Y Combinator**, we are revolutionizing how banks and fintechs conduct compliance. Our robust **AI Agents** automate manual human review tasks across **Screening, AML, KYC, and fraud**, driving operational efficiency and helping financial institutions cut costs by up to **85%**.
Founded by **experts in financial crime prevention and AI**, our team brings deep expertise from major banks, regulatory bodies, and technology firms. We are a rapidly growing company with offices in **San Francisco, New York City, and London**.
We are now looking to accelerate our momentum by expanding our founding sales team. **That's where you come in.**
### About the Role
As a **Mid-Market Account Executive**, you will be the engine of Arva’s revenue growth. You will focus on winning mid-sized banks, credit unions, and high-growth fintechs — organizations that are feeling the most pain from manual compliance processes. You will report to the CRO and work in a fast-paced, high-activity environment where you own the entire sales cycle from discovery to close.
**Location:** This role is based in **New York City**.
### What You’ll Do
- **Full-cycle ownership:** Manage the end-to-end sales process for mid-market accounts, consistently meeting or exceeding monthly and quarterly revenue targets.
- **High-velocity pipeline:** Navigate 3–6 month deal cycles, managing a high volume of opportunities simultaneously without losing momentum.
- **Consultative selling:** Become a subject matter expert in Financial Crime (AML, KYC, Fraud) to challenge prospect assumptions and position Arva as a "must-have" rather than a "nice-to-have."
- **Strategic prospecting:** Partner with BDRs to build a "gold standard" outbound engine while also generating your own high-quality leads through targeted outreach.
- **Sales methodology:** Apply **MEDDICC** or **Challenger** frameworks to qualify deals rigorously, ensuring your forecast is accurate and your time is spent on winnable business.
- **Collaborative closing:** Lead technical deep-dives with Solutions Engineers and coordinate with Legal/Compliance teams to navigate mid-market procurement hurdles.
### About You
- **Track record:** You have 3 – 5 years of B2B SaaS sales experience, with at least 2 years specifically in a Mid-Market or "Commercial" AE role. You have a proven history of hitting 100%+ of your quota.
- **Winning mentality:** You are a proactive "hunter" who thrives on collaborating with BDRs to build a high-quality pipeline while maintaining a relentless focus on closing and exceeding quarterly quotas.
- **Fintech/RegTech experience:** You have experience selling into financial services, risk, or compliance functions. You understand the language of Compliance Officers and Risk Leads.
- **Executive presence:** You can command a room of C-level executives at a mid-sized bank, translating complex AI concepts into clear business ROI.
- **Tooling pro:** You are proficient with GTM tools such as Hubspot and LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
- **Adaptability:** You thrive in the start up environment — you’re comfortable with ambiguity and eager to help refine our sales playbooks as we grow.
### Ideal, But Not Required
- Prior experience at a high-growth startup (Series A - Series C).
- Deep knowledge of AI/ML applications in regulated industries.
- A pre-existing network within the NYC fintech or banking ecosystem.
### Our Offer
- **Competitive Compensation:** Strong base salary, uncapped commission structure, and meaningful equity.
- **Career Acceleration:** As an early member of the mid-market team, you have a direct path to Senior AE or Sales Leadership roles.
- **Top-Tier Environment:** Work in a high-intensity, collaborative NYC office alongside experts from Google, YC, and global finance.
- **Impact:** You are selling a product that literally stops financial crime and saves companies millions of dollars.
### Our Operating Principles
**1\. Own with Urgency**
Speed + ownership is our superpower. We value action over perfection. We're not afraid to get our hands dirty, experiment, and iterate quickly to achieve our goals, and completely own the outcome.
**2\. Customer First, Team Second, Self Last**
Our priority is creating value for our customers. We then focus on building a supportive, growth-oriented team environment, putting individual needs last to ensure collective success.
**3\. Transparency**
We believe in open communication and full visibility across teams and roles. Decisions, successes, and failures are shared openly to foster trust and collaboration.
### Our Commitment to Diversity
We're eager to meet talented, driven candidates regardless of whether they check every box. We value what you'll add to our culture, not just whether you fit into it. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech and financial services to apply.
We are an equal opportunity employer and committed to non-discrimination based on race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability, genetic information, or other applicable legally protected characteristics.

Share this post:
**San Francisco, CA / Los Angeles, CA**– Arva AI, a leader in financial crime prevention technology, today announced a partnership with FairPlay, the AI Enablement Company for the Financial Services industry, advancing the responsible adoption of agentic AI in financial services.
FairPlay will validate Arva’s AI AML Agents - covering Screening, KYB, and transaction monitoring - via its new Agentic Assurance Platform, which stress-tests performance, maps controls, and produces regulator-ready documentation aligned with SR 11-7 and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.
“At Arva, our mission is to transform financial crime prevention with compliant AI,” said Rhim Shah, Arva’s Founder & CEO. “FairPlay’s Agentic Assurance Platform provides the rigorous testing and evidence generation our customers need to trust and scale these technologies with confidence.”
“Financial institutions need assurance that their AI systems are not only powerful, but also safe, reliable, and regulator-ready,” said Kareem Saleh, Founder and CEO of FairPlay. “By partnering with Arva, we’re helping the industry deploy tested and trusted agents that can stand up to both business demands and compliance scrutiny.”
This collaboration underscores both companies’ commitment to advancing the responsible adoption of agentic AI in financial services. For Arva’s customers, the validation adds an independent layer of assurance that its AI AML Agents perform effectively and meet the highest standards of AI governance.
### About Arva AI
Arva AI is redefining financial crime compliance by replacing over 90% of manual Screening, AML, and KYC/KYB reviews with regulator-ready AI agents - making large-scale AI deployment finally possible for banks and fintechs.
Founded by experts in financial crime compliance, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and machine learning, Arva delivers agentic AI that reimagines traditional Know Your Business (KYB), transaction monitoring, and adverse media screening workflows. Its platform automates up to 80% of manual compliance reviews – shortening review times drastically while bolstering compliance controls. Leading the company is Rhim Shah, who formerly led anti-financial crime teams at Revolut, and brings deep domain experience in building global-scale compliance functions.
Backed by Google’s AI fund and Y Combinator, Arva AI serves leading financial institutions across the US, UK and Canada. The company’s AI agents autonomously handle millions of reviews each month, resolving nearly 91% of screening alerts, 87% of KYC/KYB processes, and 86% of transaction monitoring alerts, delivering significant boosts to straight-through processing and operational efficiency.
Arva’s platform is built on a foundation of AI Risk Governance, designed for highly regulated environments. Its rigorous, certified frameworks (ranging from SOC 2 Type II and ISO 42001 certifications to transparent audit trails and continuous monitoring) ensure decisions are auditable, explainable, and trusted by regulators.
In a striking validation of its momentum and ambition, Arva AI was recently showcased on a digital billboard in New York’s iconic Times Square – marking a symbolic milestone in global recognition of its AI-powered risk intelligence offerings.
### About FairPlay
FairPlay is the AI enablement company for financial services and insurance industries. FairPlay specializes in testing, tuning, and validating AI systems and agents - helping institutions deploy AI faster, more profitably, and in full compliance. FairPlay products address the toughest challenges in AI deployment, including Bias Testing, Model Optimization, Model and Agentic Validation, Second Look and Safe AI Sourcing.
Founded by data scientists and software engineers from Google, Microsoft, Hulu, Elementary Robotics, ZestAI, and the U.S. Government, FairPlay brings deep expertise in applying AI to underwriting, pricing, marketing, fraud detection, and other high-stakes decisions.
FairPlay’s founders have testified before Congress on the use of AI in lending and were commissioned by the Brookings Institution to author an AI Policy Agenda for federal financial regulators. Its advisory board includes David Silberman, former Deputy Director of the CFPB; Manny Alvarez, former Commissioner of California’s Department of Financial Institutions; and Kevin Moss, former Chief Risk Officer of Wells Fargo and SoFi.
FairPlay’s work has been featured in _The Wall Street Journal_, _USA Today_, _Politico_, _American Banker_ and _Forbes_. In 2023, _Fast Company_ recognized FairPlay as a “World Changing Idea.”

### OakNorth Bank Reduces Screening Alerts by 84% With Arva AI
OakNorth Bank, a leading UK digital bank for SMEs and fast-growth businesses, faced a common challenge in financial crime compliance: an overwhelming volume of false positives from adverse media screening. Compliance teams were spending countless hours sifting through irrelevant alerts, slowing down customer onboarding and ongoing monitoring.
By implementing **Arva AI’s Adverse Media Screening AI**, OakNorth was able to reduce noise, focus on true risks, and dramatically improve operational efficiency.
#### Challenge
- High false positive rates in adverse media screening.
- Compliance analysts manually reviewing articles that were irrelevant, outdated, or duplicated.
- Slower customer onboarding and increased operational costs.
- Need for explainable AI to meet regulator expectations without introducing "black box" risk.
#### Solution
OakNorth integrated **Arva AI’s Screening AI agents**, specifically leveraging **Adverse Media** to:
- **Filter and categorize news** in real time, discounting irrelevant or outdated hits.
- **Contextualize articles** by distinguishing between individuals with the same or similar names.
- **Explain decisions transparently**, showing why an article was flagged or discounted.
- **Enable analyst-in-the-loop feedback**, allowing continuous improvement and audit-ready rationales.
#### Results
- **84% reduction** in adverse media alerts requiring manual review.
- Significant time savings for compliance teams, freeing analysts to focus on true risks.
- Faster customer onboarding and monitoring workflows.
- Increased confidence from audit and regulatory teams through transparent, explainable outputs.
#### About Arva AI
Arva AI helps banks, fintechs, and financial institutions scale their compliance operations through **agentic AI**. Backed by Y Combinator and the Google AI Fund, Arva’s platform provides explainable, audit-ready AI agents for **AML, KYC, KYB, and screening**.
With Arva, compliance teams reduce false positives, accelerate onboarding, and strengthen financial crime defenses — without adding headcount.

## The Importance of Human Expertise in the Fight Against Financial Crime (vs. AI)

Financial crime is more sophisticated and global than ever before, evolving rapidly in tandem with technological innovation. From money laundering and fraud to terrorism financing and crypto-enabled scams, these illicit activities pose serious risks to economies, institutions, and individuals worldwide. In this high-stakes environment, a pressing question emerges: can artificial intelligence (AI) replace human expertise in fighting financial crime?
The short answer? Not yet—and maybe never.
While AI is transforming compliance and anti-money laundering (AML) efforts with speed and scale, human judgment, critical thinking, and adaptability remain irreplaceable. The most effective approach isn’t man versus machine—it’s man with machine.
#### The Strengths Humans Bring to AML
**Pattern Recognition with Context**
Human analysts excel at connecting the dots—especially the ones that don’t obviously belong together. While AI can spot outliers in data, it takes a seasoned professional to know which anomalies matter, why, and what to do next. Critical thinking allows AML experts to challenge assumptions and pursue unconventional investigative leads.
**Understanding Behavior and Intent**
Financial crime is often rooted in human deception. Humans can interpret behavioral red flags—like urgency in a scam email or an inconsistent story during KYC checks—that machines might overlook. This psychological insight is particularly important in detecting social engineering attacks and fraud schemes that rely on manipulating emotions.
**Regulatory Acumen and Adaptability**
Regulations evolve quickly, and human experts are vital for interpreting gray areas and adjusting workflows to stay compliant. Unlike AI, which needs to be retrained, human analysts can adapt on the fly, shifting gears when criminals innovate or rules change.
**Communication and Collaboration**
Successful financial crime investigations involve teams—both internal and external. Whether it’s preparing suspicious activity reports (SARs) or coordinating with law enforcement, human AML professionals must communicate complex findings clearly and credibly. This human layer of trust and collaboration is something AI can’t replicate.
#### Where AI Excels
**Processing at Scale**
AI can analyze millions of transactions in seconds, flagging potential red flags with far greater efficiency than any manual process. Machine learning models can learn what “normal” looks like and detect deviations in real-time, reducing false positives and identifying suspicious activity faster.
**Natural Language Processing (NLP)**
NLP tools help analyze unstructured data—emails, social media posts, or SAR narratives—to uncover hidden relationships or suspicious language. AI can also enhance SAR quality by recommending language or auto-filling key fields based on past patterns.
**Anomaly Detection and Automation**
AI models are adept at identifying outliers and new fraud patterns, even those criminals try to disguise. Paired with robotic process automation (RPA), AI reduces the manual burden on compliance teams, letting them focus on high-risk, high-impact cases.
#### Case Studies Show the Balance
Real-world examples continue to demonstrate the critical role of human experts. The Egmont Group’s _Best Egmont Cases_ highlights how human intuition and cross-border collaboration led to uncovering schemes like a massive tax credit fraud in Italy and a crypto-based terrorism financing network in France. In each case, AI might have assisted with data processing—but it was human investigators who connected the dots, navigated complex regulations, and coordinated enforcement actions.
#### The Future: Human + AI
Experts agree: the future of financial crime prevention is collaborative. AI will continue to evolve and automate more tasks, but it won’t replace the need for human oversight, strategic thinking, and ethical judgment.
Human roles will shift toward higher-value activities—managing complex investigations, ensuring regulatory alignment, and training AI systems to be more accurate and fair. To succeed in this new era, financial institutions must invest not only in technology, but in their people—upskilling analysts, fostering data-literacy, and building interdisciplinary teams that blend compliance, tech, and investigative insight.
#### Final Thoughts
Financial crime isn’t just a data problem—it’s a human one. And while AI is a powerful ally, the fight against illicit finance will always require a human touch. The most resilient institutions will be those that build strong, collaborative partnerships between humans and machines—leveraging the speed of AI and the wisdom of experience.
In this complex and high-stakes domain, it’s not AI versus humans. It’s AI **with** humans—and that’s a combination criminals should fear

## Financial Crime Types and Impact - Unraveling FinCrime

Financial crime represents a significant and evolving threat to individuals, businesses, and the global economy. This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the diverse landscape of financial crime, encompassing its definition, core categories, and detailed explorations of various fraudulent activities, money laundering techniques, cyber-related financial offenses, market manipulation, insider trading, and the pervasive issues of bribery and corruption. It further examines the detrimental impacts of these illicit activities and highlights the crucial role of resources and organizations dedicated to combating them.
This report analyzes the diverse landscape of financial crime, including its definition, core categories, and various fraudulent activities. It also examines money laundering, cyber-related offenses, market manipulation, insider trading, bribery, and corruption. The report highlights the detrimental impacts of these activities and the importance of organizations combating them.
#### Defining Financial Crime and Its Core Categories
Financial crime encompasses illegal activities related to money, financial services, and markets. The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) defines it as any criminal conduct relating to money or financial services/markets, including fraud, misuse of information, handling proceeds of crime, and financing terrorism. Europol defines it as illegal acts for financial or professional gain, while others include money laundering, terrorist financing, bribery, market abuse, and fraud. Common types include fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing, bribery and corruption, insider trading, and cybercrime.
#### The Multifaceted Nature of Fraud
Fraud involves deceptive practices to secure financial gain.
- **Investment Fraud**: Deceiving individuals with false information. Examples include Ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, pump and dump, affinity fraud, high-yield investment programs, recovery room schemes, unsuitable financial products, boiler room schemes, promissory note schemes, professional embezzlement, real estate investment fraud, precious metal investment scams, cryptocurrency fraud, internet fraud, advance fee fraud, offshore scams, and fraudulent portfolio managers.
- **Insurance Fraud**: Deception against insurance companies. Examples include auto insurance fraud (staged accidents, false claims), homeowner insurance fraud (false damage claims, arson), health care insurance fraud (billing for services not provided), life & disability insurance fraud (fake death claims, falsified disability claims), agent/industry fraud (theft of premiums), workers' compensation fraud (working while collecting benefits), catastrophe-related insurance fraud, and specialty insurance fraud.
- **Credit Card Fraud**: Unauthorized use of a credit/debit card. Examples include account takeover, card-not-present fraud, card skimming, mail fraud, phone thefts and fraud, credit card application fraud, lost or stolen cards, cloned cards, data breaches, phishing/smishing/vishing, intercepted details, and card-present fraud.
#### Unraveling Money Laundering
Money laundering disguises the illegal origin of money. It involves three stages:
- **Placement**: Introducing "dirty money" into the financial system.
- **Layering**: Moving funds through complex transactions to obscure their origin.
- **Integration**: Reintroducing the laundered money into the legitimate economy.
Other methods include bulk cash smuggling, money muling, blending funds, round tripping, bank capture, commodity investment, tax havens, transaction laundering, and black salaries.
This can be combated by learning how to [boost AML compliance with AI](https://www.arva.ai/blog/boosting-aml-compliance-with-ai-in-2025), which is a key method of solving these issues.
#### The Intersection of Finance and Cybercrime
Cyber-enabled financial crimes exploit digital vulnerabilities.
- **Phishing**: Deceptive messages to trick individuals into revealing financial information.
- **Ransomware Attacks**: Malware that encrypts data, demanding ransom for its release.
- **Data Breaches**: Theft of sensitive financial data.
Other cybercrimes include identity theft, online scams, and account takeover attacks.
#### Manipulating Markets and Exploiting Information
- **Market Manipulation**: Artificially influencing the price of a financial instrument.
- **Insider Trading**: Trading based on material, non-public information.
#### Bribery and Corruption: Undermining Trust and Integrity
- **Bribery**: Offering or accepting an advantage for an illegal or unethical action. Active bribery involves offering a bribe, while passive bribery involves accepting one.
- **Corruption**: Dishonest behavior by those in power.
Bribery can manifest in various ways, including facilitation payments and private sector bribery. Corruption can be grand or petty.
#### The Pervasive Impact of Financial Crime
Financial crime has detrimental impacts on individuals (financial losses, eroded trust), businesses (reputational damage, financial losses), and the economy (market distortion, hindered development). It fuels other illegal activities and has a significant human cost.
The [use of AI to fight financial crime](https://www.arva.ai/blog/financial-crime-in-the-age-of-ai-challenges-and-opportunities) is a key way that banks and fintechs can protect themselves against fraud.
#### The Fight Against Financial Crime: Resources and Organizations
Various organizations combat financial crime.
- **International**: Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF), Europol, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units.
- **National**:
- UK: Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), National Crime Agency (NCA), Serious Fraud Office (SFO).
- US: Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Other resources include the IC3 (Internet Crime Complaint Center), Help Stop Fraud, and the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB).
#### Conclusion
Financial crime poses a significant threat to the global financial system and individual/business well-being. From investment scams and insurance fraud to money laundering, cybercrime, market manipulation, and corruption, these activities inflict financial losses and erode trust. Combating financial crime requires collaborative efforts from international bodies, national agencies, and individuals. Continuous vigilance and adaptation to evolving criminal tactics are essential to safeguarding financial systems and mitigating the impacts of financial crime.

### Lawsuit-Ridden Company Denied Financing by Tola using Arva AI
**Challenge**
A corporate applicant attempted to secure financing through Tola to pay its legal fees. However, adverse media suggested the company was entangled in multiple lawsuits relating to unpaid debts, amounting to over $100,000.
**How Arva Helped**
- Arva’s adverse media checks flagged ongoing litigation and unpaid claims.
- Signals contradicted the applicant’s claims of financial health.
- The intelligence allowed Tola to distinguish between routine payment activity and high-risk financing exposure.
**Outcome**
The company was allowed to make payments on the platform but denied financing. This prevented Tola from funding a business with a high probability of default.
**Value Delivered**
- Proactively avoided financing a high-liability customer.
- Protected against exposure to six-figure default risks.
- Reinforced Tola’s commitment to responsible risk management.

#### About the Role
As a Senior Full-Stack Product Engineer, you will:
- Build and maintain full-stack product features across front-end, back-end, AI, devops and MLops.
- Create systems that can improve over time based on feedback from humans in the loop, such as prompt optimisation and fine-tuning.
- Explore applications of the latest developments of AI to enhance our product features, explainability, speed and accuracy.
#### What You’ll Do
- **Front-end:** Build interfaces that clearly explain the decisions made by our system without overloading the user.

- **AI:** Use the latest in LLMs, agents and computer vision to build systems that are faster, more thorough and more accurate than humans.
- **Devops:** Ensure that we maintain fast deployments and good CI/CD practices to maximise development velocity.
- **Prompt Engineering:** Develop and test prompts to optimise model performance and deliver high-quality outputs.
- **Model Fine-Tuning:** Adapt and fine-tune large language models and vision models for specific use cases.

### Our Culture
#### Deliver Value Fast
Speed starts with clarity. We first understand what value actually means, for the customer, the business, or the system, and then take the shortest credible path to delivering it. We move quickly without cutting corners on quality, security, or trust.
#### Outcome Obsessed
We obsess over details and take full ownership of wider outcomes, not just tasks. We think like the user, execute with rigor, and validate that every detail works in real conditions. If something falls short, we fix it properly and prevent recurrence, always raising the bar.
#### Relentless Urgency
We move with urgency because time matters. We prioritise what truly moves the outcome, make decisions with imperfect information, and act decisively. Urgency means focus, momentum, and driving meaningful progress without unnecessary delay.
#### What We’re Looking For
- **Experience:** 4+ years in a full stack / product engineering role, as well as experience using AI/ML and computer vision.
- **Technical Expertise:** Proficient in TypeScript, React and NodeJS, and with good product intuition.
- **AI Skills:** Hands-on experience with prompt engineering, fine-tuning pre-trained models, and training custom models, including vision models.
- **Product Mindset:** Strong understanding of how AI can solve real-world problems, with a focus on customer needs.
- **Interests:** Ability to stay updated with the latest advancements in AI and apply them effectively.
- **Collaboration:** Excellent communication skills to work across teams and explain complex AI concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
- **Ownership:** A proactive, problem-solving mindset with the ability to take full responsibility for projects and outcomes.
- **Growth-Oriented:** Excited to learn new skills, tackle challenges, and adapt as the company scales.
#### Why Join Us?
- Be part of an early-stage startup with significant ownership and influence over the AI strategy.
- Work on cutting-edge AI technologies that transform how businesses operate.

#### Understanding Financial Crime: A Primer
Financial crime poses a significant threat to the global financial system, impacting individuals, businesses, and the economy. This primer provides an overview of financial crime, including its definition, examples, motivations, methods, actors, consequences, and the UK's legal and regulatory landscape.
#### Defining Financial Crime
Financial crime encompasses illegal acts committed for economic benefit, involving money or financial resources. The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) defines it as criminal conduct relating to money, financial services, or markets, including fraud, dishonesty, market misconduct, money laundering, and terrorist financing. This definition extends to any act that would be a criminal offense. Other definitions highlight misappropriation, organized criminal involvement, and "white-collar crime," emphasizing the potential for significant financial damage without physical violence. Interpol's definition includes theft, fraud, deception, blackmail, corruption, and money laundering.
#### Common Examples of Financial Crime
- **Fraud:** Intentional deception for financial or personal gain, including identity theft, payment fraud, investment fraud, telemarketing fraud, and Ponzi schemes.
- **Money Laundering:** Concealing the origin of illegally obtained money to make it appear legitimate. It involves placement, layering, and integration.
- **Terrorist Financing:** Providing financial support to terrorists or terrorist organizations, which can involve funds from both legal and illegal sources.
#### Motivations Behind Financial Crime
- **Greed:** An insatiable desire for wealth.
- **Financial Need/Pressure:** Economic hardship or perceived undercompensation.
- **Opportunity:** Weak internal controls or system vulnerabilities.
- **Rationalization:** Justifying illegal actions by minimizing harm or believing in entitlement.
- **Thrill/Beating the System:** Motivation from the challenge or excitement of illicit activity.
#### Methods Used to Commit Financial Crime
- **Fraudulent Techniques:** Phishing, identity theft, account takeover fraud, advance fee fraud, credit card fraud, investment fraud, and cybercrime.
- **Money Laundering:** Using shell companies, complex transactions, electronic transfers, smurfing, and money muling.
- **Terrorist Financing:** Raising funds from criminal activities or legitimate sources.
- **Emerging Trends:** Exploiting cryptocurrencies, DeFi platforms, and using AI for fraudulent activities.
#### Individuals and Organizations Involved
- **Perpetrators:** Individuals, organized criminal syndicates, "white-collar criminals," business employees, corrupt officials, and terrorist organizations.
- **Victims:** Individual consumers, businesses, financial institutions, and governments.
- **Facilitators:** Money mules, professional enablers, and financial institutions with lax controls.
#### Impact of Financial Crime
- **Individuals:** Financial losses, emotional trauma, debt, and mental health issues.
- **Businesses:** Financial losses, reputational damage, and increased operational costs.
- **Global Economy:** Erosion of trust, market distortion, hindered economic growth, and funding of other criminal activities.
#### Conclusion
Financial crime is a complex and evolving threat with significant risks. The US and UK has a robust legal and regulatory framework, but continuous vigilance, adaptation, and collaboration are essential to combat this issue.

[Axios coverage](https://www.axios.com/pro/fintech-deals/2025/01/14/kyb-verification-startup-arva-ai-3-million?utm_source=editorial&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=pro_edit_regwall_01-24&utm_term=regwall)
Arva AI is proud to announce the successful completion of a $3 million funding round, led by Gradient, Google’s early-stage AI fund, with participation from Y Combinator, Amino Capital, Olive Tree Capital, and angels from prominent fintech organizations. This investment marks a pivotal moment in our journey to transform how financial institutions conduct business verification through the power of generative AI.
#### Automating KYB to Save Time and Enhance Compliance
Know Your Business (KYB) verification is a cornerstone of regulatory compliance for financial institutions, aimed at mitigating risks like fraud and money laundering. However, as regulations grow increasingly stringent, banks and fintechs face a mounting challenge: balancing robust compliance protocols with the need for efficient customer onboarding. Traditional KYB processes—heavily reliant on manual reviews by hundreds of compliance analysts—are slow, costly, and prone to bottlenecks.
Arva AI addresses this challenge head-on. Our generative AI-enabled platform automates the labor-intensive tasks of KYB, turning fragmented, unstructured data from registries, social media, websites, and documents into actionable risk assessments. This, combined with advanced AI document intelligence for fraud detection and data extraction, allows banks and fintechs to onboard businesses in seconds while maintaining the highest compliance standards.
#### Empowering Compliance Teams Through Innovation
“At Arva, our mission is to make business verification fast, accurate, and seamless,” said Rhim Shah, CEO and co-founder of Arva AI. “For financial institutions navigating rising costs and stricter regulations, efficient and secure KYB processes are no longer optional—they’re critical. Early adopters of Arva, including leading fintechs like Keep in Canada and Tola in the US, are already reaping the benefits of streamlined compliance. We’re thrilled to partner with Gradient and our other investors to scale our solution globally.”
Our vision is to develop a comprehensive suite of AI-enabled tools capable of handling all repetitive, low- to mid-risk compliance tasks, freeing compliance teams to focus on higher-level decision-making. By reducing manual review times from days to seconds, Arva ensures financial institutions can meet both operational and regulatory demands efficiently.
#### A Team with Proven Expertise
Arva’s founding team brings a wealth of experience in fintech and AI innovation. Rhim Shah, previously the financial crime product lead at Revolut Business, and Oli Wales, former lead product engineer at Seal, have firsthand knowledge of the compliance hurdles faced by fast-growing financial organizations. Their combined expertise has been instrumental in shaping Arva’s groundbreaking solutions.
“At Gradient, we see the transformative potential of AI in solving complex, real-world challenges,” said Eylul Kayin, Partner at Gradient. “Arva AI’s approach to automating business verification is exactly the kind of innovation the industry needs, and we’re excited to support their growth.”
#### Scaling to Meet Growing Demand
This seed funding will accelerate Arva AI’s product development and market expansion as we work to meet the increasing demand from banks and fintechs seeking to modernize compliance operations. With early adoption by industry leaders, Arva is poised to redefine what’s possible in business verification.

By leveraging their suite of agents, we can perform a range of investigations that accelerate the verification process by reducing manual workflows. With Arva, we can move faster, with more consistent insights, and a higher degree of accuracy."

As a Product Designer, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the user experience of our AI Agent platform. You’ll work across research, UX, UI, and prototyping to design workflows that make complex financial crime investigations clear, efficient, and reliable for real users operating in high-stakes environments.
## About the Role
As a Product Designer, you will:
- Own end-to-end design for key product workflows, from user research and problem definition through UX, UI, prototyping, and engineering handoff.
- Own and evolve the design system and component library, ensuring consistency, speed, and quality across the product.
- Partner closely with Product and Engineering to iterate quickly, validate designs with users, and use product data to inform decisions.
## What You’ll Do
- **User Research:** Conduct and synthesise user research to deeply understand investigator workflows, pain points, and constraints in real-world compliance teams.
- **UX Design:** Translate complex requirements into clear, intuitive user journeys and interaction models that scale with product complexity.

Speed starts with clarity. We first understand what value actually means, for the customer, the business, or the system, and then take the shortest credible path to delivering it. We move quickly without cutting corners on quality, security, or trust.
**Outcome Obsessed**
We obsess over details and take full ownership of wider outcomes, not just tasks. We think like the user, execute with rigor, and validate that every detail works in real conditions. If something falls short, we fix it properly and prevent recurrence, always raising the bar.
**Relentless Urgency**
We move with urgency because time matters. We prioritise what truly moves the outcome, make decisions with imperfect information, and act decisively. Urgency means focus, momentum, and driving meaningful progress without unnecessary delay.
## What We’re Looking For
- **Experience:** 3+ years as a Product Designer working on complex, user-facing products, including creating and owning a design system.
- **End-to-End Ownership:** Proven ability to own design from research through to shipped product.
- **Design Systems:** Experience building and maintaining design systems and scalable component libraries.
- **Product Mindset:** Strong intuition for product trade-offs and a focus on solving real user problems.
- **Collaboration:** Comfortable working closely with PMs and Engineers in fast-moving, iterative teams.
- **Craft & Detail:** High bar for visual polish, interaction quality, and usability.
- **Ownership:** Proactive, self-directed, and accountable for outcomes, not just deliverables.
- **Growth-Oriented:** Excited to learn, adapt, and grow as the product and company scale.
## Why Join Us?
- Be part of an early-stage startup with significant ownership and influence over the product direction.
- Design products that directly impact how financial crime is detected and prevented globally.

## Closing Out 2025 at Arva AI
Announcement

Rhim Shah
Dec 23, 2025

Share this post:
As we wrap up 2025, it’s a moment to pause and reflect on just how far Arva AI has come in a single year.
This was a year defined by focus, execution, and an unwavering commitment to building something that genuinely works. With a small but mighty team, we didn’t just ship features—we built a product that delivers real outcomes for compliance teams operating at massive scale.
And the results speak for themselves.
#### 2025 by the Numbers
This year, Arva AI achieved milestones that would normally take teams many times our size:
- **32× ARR growth**
- **$XM in Annual Recurring Revenue**
- **1M+ compliance reviews handled**
- **12.4 years of analyst time saved**
Behind each of these numbers are real people—compliance analysts freed from repetitive manual work, teams scaling without burning out, and institutions finally able to focus their expertise where it matters most.
#### Highlights from the Year
Beyond the metrics, 2025 was packed with meaningful progress across every part of the company:
- **Crossed seven-figure revenue with zero churn**
A clear signal that customers don’t just try Arva—they stick with it.
- **Welcomed an exceptional group of advisors**
Seasoned operators and thinkers who’ve helped us sharpen our strategy, raise our ambition, and execute with more precision.
- **Went deeper into research and accuracy**
We invested heavily in advancing our models and investigative capabilities, because in financial crime, precision isn’t a nice-to-have—it’s everything.
- **Delivered step-change efficiency for leading banks and fintechs**
Working with some of the largest institutions in the world, we repeatedly heard the same feedback:
_“You’re more accurate than teams of humans and any other product.”_
It’s the best compliment we could receive—and a responsibility we take seriously.
#### Thank You
None of this happens in isolation.
To our customers, advisors, investors, partners, and everyone who has supported Arva AI along the way: thank you for believing in us, backing us, and trusting us with some of the most critical workflows in financial services. We don’t take that trust for granted for a second.
#### Looking Ahead to 2026
Next year is about going deeper, moving faster, and raising the bar—again.
If you want to work at the bleeding edge of **AI × Financial Services**, and help define the future of compliance and financial crime prevention, we’d love to hear from you.
Here’s to what’s next 🚀

## Legacy screening tools match names - Arva uses context
Traditional systems rely on basic string-matching and static lists, resulting in a flood of false positives and missed risk signals. Analysts are stuck reviewing noise — instead of real threats.
Arva transforms screening from a blocker to a strategic asset
###### “Arva has transformed our ability to quickly deep dive on prospects during onboarding. With Arva, we can move faster, with more consistent insights, and a higher degree of accuracy.”
— Evan Dreyer, Head of Risk & Finance at Tola

### Ensure nothing slips through in high-risk investigations
When critical information is missing, most compliance teams fall back on manual requests, slowing onboarding and investigations. Arva automates EDD checks end-to-end, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks while reducing case-handling time.
All results are packaged into a clear, auditable profile that analysts can act on immediately, turning what used to take days into minutes.
The outcome: faster resolution, fewer RFIs, and a defensible, regulator-ready EDD process.
## Key features
Automated Document Intelligence
Extracts and analyzes key risk information from uploaded documents including SOF, SOW, bank statements, shareholder registries, and more — with fraud detection built-in.
Global Data Enrichment
Pulls structured data from 140+ company registries, sanctions lists, watchlists, and adverse media databases — in real time.
Risk Profiling + Contextual Flags
Automatically highlights risk factors such as offshore ownership, sanctions adjacency, document tampering, or jurisdictional exposure.
Deep Web Analysis
Arva scans unindexed and hard-to-find sources for hidden risk signals. This ensures risks that never surface in traditional databases are still captured and assessed.
Source of Funds / Source of Wealth Verification
Validate how money was earned and where it originates. Arva cross-references declarations with public records and financial data to flag inconsistencies early.
Beneficial Ownership Deep-Dive
Arva maps corporate structures to uncover hidden UBOs. This helps identify shell companies, nominee owners, or concealed high-risk connections.
Occupational History Review
Verify work and professional backgrounds. Arva checks employment records, affiliations, and career timelines to validate claims and spot anomalies.
10+ Additional Automated Checks
Covering sanctions, PEP exposure, geographic risk, and more. Each check is continuously updated against global regulatory changes to keep your compliance airtight.

## Arva AI launches Agent Lab: build, deploy, and monitor self-improving AI agents for financial crime compliance operations
Announcement

Share this post:
Today, Arva AI is excited to announce the launch of its newest product: **Agent Lab**, a platform designed to build, deploy, and monitor self-improving AI agents for financial crime compliance operations.
Financial institutions worldwide face an enormous challenge in keeping pace with the scale and complexity of financial crime. Compliance teams spend thousands of hours on manual tasks, from reviewing sanctions hits to conducting enhanced due diligence (EDD) checks, while regulators demand ever higher levels of accuracy and accountability. The result is a growing compliance burden that drives up costs and slows down operations.
**Agent Lab changes this equation.**
Global banks and fintech innovators are already using the platform to configure and scale thousands of specialized AI agents that take on some of the most manual and resource-intensive workflows in financial crime compliance. From sanctions screening and transaction monitoring alerts, to periodic KYC refreshes and EDD case reviews, Agent Lab enables these agents to make informed, auditable decisions at scale — in some cases handling **hundreds of thousands of cases every month.**
But Agent Lab is not just another automation tool. It’s a **risk-aware framework** built specifically for regulated institutions:
- **Transparency and oversight**: Compliance leaders can set internal benchmarks, monitor performance against key metrics, and track how agents evolve over time.
- **Risk mitigation**: Every agent operates within auditable guardrails, providing regulators and internal audit teams with the assurance that model risk is being actively managed.
- **Continuous learning**: Agents are not static. They adapt by learning from reviewer feedback, gradually improving their ability to take on more complex decision-making.
This approach represents a step change for compliance operations. Rather than relying on static rule sets and endless manual review queues, institutions can now deploy **dynamic, self-learning systems** that scale intelligently while maintaining compliance and governance standards.
With Agent Lab, Arva AI is bringing the next generation of AI-driven compliance to life — empowering teams to reallocate human expertise to the most judgment-intensive areas while letting AI handle the repetitive, structured workloads. The result is not only greater efficiency, but also stronger risk management, better regulatory alignment, and the foundation for a future where compliance is both **scalable and adaptive.**
We believe Agent Lab marks a turning point in how financial institutions approach financial crime compliance. It gives banks and fintechs the ability to innovate with confidence, knowing that their AI systems are learning, improving, and operating safely within the framework of regulatory expectations.

## Your risk is real - make your compliance stack smarter

## Forward Deployed Engineer
Full-time
On site
London, UK
Jan 29, 2026
[Apply](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/arva-ai/jobs/VWRDWCW-forward-deployed-engineer)
**Location:** In person, Central London, 4–5 days in office
**Type:** Full-Time
**NB:** We are able to sponsor visas
Arva AI is revolutionising financial crime intelligence with our cutting-edge AI Agents. By automating manual human review tasks, we enhance operational efficiency and help financial institutions handle AML reviews, while cutting operational costs by 80%.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll sit at the intersection of customer, product, and engineering. You will lead customer and pilot deployments end-to-end, working directly with users to frame problems, build and ship solutions rapidly, and ensure successful go-lives. You’ll operate in the field, iterating quickly with tight feedback loops, while translating real-world customer needs into clear product insights that shape our roadmap.
## About the Role
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will:
- Own customer deployments from first engagement through implementation, launch, and post-go-live iteration.
- Build, customise, and iterate workflows and integrations directly in customer environments.
- Act as the technical face of Arva AI with customers, deeply understanding their compliance processes and constraints.
- Translate customer problems into concrete product requirements, backed by evidence and clear specifications.
## What You’ll Do
**Customer Deployments:** Deliver end-to-end deployments, from problem framing and solution design to implementation and go-live.
**Build in the Field:** Rapidly ship workflows, configurations, and integrations directly with customers, iterating fast based on real usage and feedback.
**Problem Framing:** Work closely with customer stakeholders to deeply understand their operational pain points and success criteria.
**Product Feedback Loop:** Synthesize customer learnings into actionable insights for the product and engineering teams, influencing roadmap priorities.
**Implementation & Integration:** Configure and integrate Arva AI into customer systems, ensuring reliability, performance, and trust.
**Iteration:** Continuously refine deployed solutions to improve accuracy, usability, and customer impact, preventing regressions and edge-case failures.
**Collaboration:** Partner closely with product, engineering, and leadership to align customer outcomes with long-term platform strategy.
## Our Culture
**Deliver Value Fast**
Speed starts with clarity. We first understand what value actually means, for the customer, the business, or the system, and then take the shortest credible path to delivering it. We move quickly without cutting corners on quality, security, or trust.
**Outcome Obsessed**
We obsess over details and take full ownership of wider outcomes, not just tasks. We think like the user, execute with rigor, and validate that every detail works in real conditions. If something falls short, we fix it properly and prevent recurrence, always raising the bar.
**Relentless Urgency**
We move with urgency because time matters. We prioritise what truly moves the outcome, make decisions with imperfect information, and act decisively. Urgency means focus, momentum, and driving meaningful progress without unnecessary delay.
## What We’re Looking For
**Experience:** 3+ years in a software, solutions, or forward-deployed engineering role, ideally customer-facing.
**Technical Strength:** Strong engineering fundamentals with the ability to quickly build, adapt, and integrate production systems. Comfort working across APIs, data pipelines, and modern web backends.
**Customer Empathy:** Deep curiosity about how customers operate, with the ability to translate messy real-world problems into structured solutions.
**Product Mindset:** Strong intuition for what should be productised versus solved tactically, and how customer learnings should shape the roadmap.
**Ownership:** Comfortable taking full responsibility for deployments, outcomes, and customer success.
**Communication:** Clear, confident communicator who can work with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

## Out with traditional KYB / KYC
KYB and KYC today are too manual, shallow, and fragmented.
Compliance teams spend hours chasing documents, verifying data, and piecing together ownership from incomplete registries — all while fraudsters evolve faster than legacy tools.
Arva changes the game by using AI to deliver structured business intelligence at speed and scale.
###### "Arva turned that around by streamlining our onboarding, automating many of those time-consuming tasks, and enhancing our team’s capabilities."
— Christy Crawford, Director of Operations and Client Services at IoniaPay
## Key features
Website & Web Presence Analysis
Arva reads and interprets the business’s website, metadata, social links, and online footprint — identifying whether the stated business activity is credible and consistent.
Document Intelligence & Fraud Detection

The result? A dynamic, 360° view that updates as new information emerges. It’s the foundation of any serious KYB workflow, ensuring compliance teams start with accurate, contextual intelligence rather than incomplete or outdated records.

### Transforming Sanctions & Adverse Media Screening with AI-Driven Automation
### The Challenge
A Tier-1 US bank with a global footprint was facing escalating pressure across its financial crime operations. Rapid growth in customer volumes, expanding regulatory expectations, and increasingly complex sanctions and adverse media requirements had driven a **surge in screening alerts**—the vast majority of which were false positives.
Despite a well-resourced compliance function, the bank’s sanctions and adverse media teams were spending **thousands of analyst hours each month** manually reviewing low-risk alerts. This created several compounding challenges:
- **Operational strain:** Highly skilled analysts were tied up with repetitive, low-value reviews instead of focusing on genuinely high-risk investigations.
- **Rising costs:** Alert volumes continued to grow year-over-year, driving headcount expansion without corresponding gains in effectiveness.
- **Scalability limits:** Existing rules-based systems and vendor tools lacked the intelligence needed to materially reduce false positives without lengthy tuning cycles.
- **Technology constraints:** Traditional solutions required complex integrations, multi-month implementations, and heavy internal engineering involvement—posing delivery and change-management risk in a tightly controlled environment.
The bank needed a solution that could **deliver immediate impact**, integrate safely into an enterprise compliance stack, and stand up to regulatory and model-risk scrutiny—without adding further operational burden.
### The Solution
The bank deployed **Arva AI** to automate sanctions, PEP, and adverse media alert review across multiple screening workflows.
A key differentiator was Arva’s **single-click deployment**, enabling the bank to integrate Arva alongside existing screening systems with **no custom engineering work** and minimal operational disruption.
Once live, Arva’s AI agents began performing end-to-end alert investigations in line with senior-analyst decisioning:
- Automatically gathering and contextualising data from internal systems and external intelligence sources
- Assessing name matches, entity relationships, geographic risk, and adverse media relevance
- Producing clear, auditable rationales for alert disposition
- Confidently resolving low-risk false positives while escalating only genuinely high-risk cases to human reviewers
Unlike legacy automation tools, Arva did not rely on static rules or keyword suppression. Instead, its agents continuously learned from outcomes, enabling **progressive accuracy improvements over time**—without requiring ongoing tuning by the bank’s teams.
Crucially, the platform was designed with **enterprise governance and auditability** in mind, supporting internal model risk management, compliance oversight, and regulatory examination requirements.
### The Results
The impact was immediate, measurable, and sustained:
**84% Reduction in False Positives**
Within weeks of deployment, the bank reduced sanctions and adverse media false positives by **84%**, with performance continuing to improve as the system learned from additional alerts.
**5× Increase in Operational Capacity**
By automating the majority of low-risk alert reviews, the bank effectively multiplied the capacity of its compliance team—allowing existing staff to handle significantly higher volumes without additional headcount.
**Material Cost Reduction**
Automation of manual reviews delivered substantial Opex savings while improving consistency and decision quality across alert handling.
**Zero Engineering or Change-Management Burden**
Deployment required no internal engineering resources and no re-architecture of existing screening infrastructure—dramatically reducing implementation risk compared to traditional solutions.
**Regulatory-Ready Automation**
Every automated decision was supported by clear, human-readable reasoning, enabling transparent audit trails and confident regulatory engagement.
### From Experimentation to Enterprise-Grade ROI
For this Tier-1 US bank, Arva AI proved that AI-driven financial crime automation is no longer experimental or aspirational—it is **production-ready, auditable, and delivering real ROI at scale**.
By removing manual drag from sanctions and adverse media screening, the bank unlocked a more resilient, scalable, and future-proof compliance operating model—one where human expertise is reserved for the risks that truly matter.

### How a Top-Tier US Bank Automated 78% of Transaction Monitoring Alerts
A large U.S. bank partnered with **Arva AI** to streamline and automate its transaction-monitoring (TM) alert handling.
The bank’s legacy TM system (rules-based) was generating thousands of alerts per day—most low-risk, repetitive, or already explainable. This created operational bottlenecks, analyst fatigue, and rising backlogs.
Arva did **not** replace the TM system. Instead, it became the **AI decisioning layer** that sits between alert generation and human review—classifying, enriching, and auto-resolving low-risk alerts with high accuracy.
#### Challenges
- Excessive volume of TM alerts driven by static rule thresholds
- Low analyst throughput and growing backlog
- Repetitive alerts that consumed significant manual time
- Rising regulatory expectations for explainability and risk-based decisioning
- Desire to improve quality and reduce operating cost **without modifying existing TM rules**
#### Arva AI Solution
Arva deployed its **TM Alert Automation Engine**, which:
- **Ingests alerts directly from the bank’s TM system** (no rules change required)
- **Enriches** each alert with customer profile, risk score, historical behaviour, network relationships, and external intelligence
- Applies a **risk-based AI model** to classify alerts as:
- **Auto-Resolve** (low-risk, explainable, historically consistent)
- **Elevate** (medium-risk)
- **Escalate** (high-risk or anomalous patterns)
- **Generates full audit explanations** for every decision to satisfy internal governance and regulator scrutiny
- Pushes prioritised alerts + explanations into the bank’s existing investigation workflow
#### Integration
- Completed zero-lift + data-mapping integration within **1 week**
- Parallel testing + model calibration completed in **week 3**
- No core TM rules, core banking systems, or transaction schemas needed to change
#### Impact
After going live across all key products:
- **78% Reduction in Alerts Sent to Human Analysts:** Arva auto-resolved the majority of routine alerts (e.g., expected behaviour, internal transfers, consistent peer-group patterns).
- **<1% False-Negative Rate:** All high-risk or anomalous alerts were escalated to humans, validated through a 90-day quality-assurance period.
- **60% Faster Time-to-Resolution:** Analysts spent time only on genuinely suspicious cases, supported by enriched context and ranked-priority queues.
- **Backlog Eliminated Within 45 Days:** Automation and risk-based prioritisation removed aging queues entirely.
- **Full Explainability & Audit Trail:** Every AI decision included a regulator-ready explanation, aiding the bank’s model-risk, AML, and internal audit teams.
#### Why the Bank Chose Arva
- **No need to touch or re-write existing rules**
- **Fast integration** with no lift required
- **High accuracy + audit-ready explainability**
- **Continuous improvement loop** (analyst feedback retrains the model)
- **Significant cost savings** from workload reduction
#### Next Steps
The bank is now expanding Arva to automate adjacent processes:
- Case narrative drafting
- Network-based risk scoring
- Cross-product behaviour detection
- Suspicious activity report (SAR) enrichment

### How Tola Stopped a Fraudulent Medical Supplier with Help from Arva AI
#### Challenge
A healthcare business applied to use the Tola platform and submitted an invoice for just under $2,400 to purchase a “medical device system.” This raised concerns: such implants typically cost between $15,000 and $30,000, suggesting the invoice may have been fabricated. The business listed multiple clinic addresses that were rundown buildings with no signage, casting further doubt on legitimacy.
#### How Arva Helped
- Arva’s KYB checks flagged irregularities in the company’s registration, website, and contact information.
- Counterparty analysis showed inconsistent payment flows.
- Investigators cross-referenced the invoice with Arva intelligence and discovered clear red flags.
- Adverse findings revealed the business was not operating as a genuine medical provider.
#### Outcome
The payout was stopped before any funds left Tola’s system. By combining Arva’s automated risk signals with manual review, the fraud was detected early and losses were prevented.
#### Value Delivered
- Prevented a fraudulent medical invoice from being paid.
- Identified that the business locations were falsified.
- Protected Tola from reputational and financial loss.

### Construction Firm with Fabricated Location Unravelled by Tola
#### Challenge
A construction company registered in Arizona attempted to pay nearly $30,000 to a contractor in New York. At first glance, the business appeared to be a legitimate LLC, but discrepancies in records and addresses raised suspicions.
#### How Arva Helped
- Arva KYB raised alerts due to missing incorporation documentation and lack of online footprint.
- Address verification revealed the company’s registered headquarters was an empty plot of land in the desert.
- Further checks showed inconsistencies: the company claimed to provide excavation services in New York, yet had no credible operating presence there.
- Counterparty records linked the entity to fabricated identities with no digital trace.
#### Outcome
The attempted $29,000 transfer was blocked. Arva’s signals enabled the compliance team to reject the transaction and flag the company for misrepresentation.
#### Value Delivered
- Detected fabricated corporate details during KYB.
- Prevented a $29,000 fraudulent transaction.
- Stopped misuse of Tola’s platform by a non-existent operator.

### When “Low-Risk” Isn’t Low Risk at All
Earlier this summer, a U.S.-based fintech began onboarding what appeared to be a straightforward new customer — a design services business incorporated in Florida. On paper, everything looked legitimate. The business had an active LLC registration, a matching legal name and address, and no flags from standard incorporation, sanctions, or ownership checks. Initial risk ratings came back as low across the board.
But something didn’t sit right.
A member of the compliance team, using Arva during routine onboarding review, decided to dig deeper. Within moments, Arva’s platform uncovered multiple red flags that would have been easy to miss in a traditional manual review.
First, Arva’s web presence analysis flagged the company’s website as suspicious. Although a landing page existed, it showed no real traffic or activity. There were no indicators of a functioning business—no team bios, no client logos, no service details beyond boilerplate buzzwords.
Next came a more serious issue. Arva’s adverse media engine identified that multiple individuals listed as officers of the company had been linked to prior scam-related activity. The platform didn’t just surface generic mentions—it accurately classified the results and surfaced the “Scam” tag, helping the reviewer distinguish signal from noise instantly.
Finally, when verifying the operating address, Arva noted that no proof had been submitted—no utility bill, no bank statement. This triggered an automated request for further documentation before the onboarding process could continue.
The compliance reviewer escalated the case internally and, using Arva’s audit logs and documentation trail, was able to block the business from being onboarded — all in under 10 minutes. A quick cross-check with another internal tool validated the same concerns. Without Arva, this application may well have slipped through, exposing the fintech to potential fraud and downstream risk.
The reviewer later shared:
> _“At first glance, this looked like a clean case. But Arva surfaced all the deeper issues within moments — scam tags, weak web footprint, lack of address proof. We confirmed it with another tool, but Arva got us there first. Honestly, without it, this could’ve been a problem.”_
This customer story is a clear reminder that in today’s complex risk landscape, a superficial “low-risk” score doesn’t always tell the full story. It’s the contextual signals — the media mentions, the website intelligence, the documentation gaps — that often reveal the truth.
And that’s where Arva shines.

## Stop the 5-Step Shuffle: How Realtime AI is Making Business Onboarding 100x Quicker
Articles
By
Rhim Shah

2 min read
Share this post:
For any bank or fintech, the business onboarding process is the first, most critical handshake with a new customer. Unfortunately, for most, it’s a painfully slow and broken one.
Consider the typical workflow: a new business customer signs up, fills out a form, and uploads their documents. Days later, a compliance analyst reviews the file, finds an error—a blurry document, a mistyped registration number, a missing UBO—and sends an email. The customer replies. The analyst reviews it again.
This "5-step shuffle" is a familiar pain. On average, banks and fintechs face **five back-and-forth interactions** with their business customers just to get onboarding right.
### The True Cost of Friction
This isn't just an operational inconvenience; it's a direct hit to your bottom line.
- **Fatal Delays:** The process is plagued by delays of **days, and even weeks**.
- **Customer Drop-Off:** In a competitive market, no one waits. A significant proportion of potential customers, frustrated by the friction, simply **drop off and go to a competitor**.
- **Wasted Resources:** Your highly-skilled compliance team is forced to spend its time chasing paperwork instead of focusing on high-risk decisions.
### The "What If" is Now
What if there was a better way?
Imagine an intelligent onboarding assistant that could interact with your customers in **real-time**. An assistant that guides them through the process, instantly spots that a document is for the wrong entity, and immediately asks them for the correct information—all in the same session.
This is exactly what Arva AI enables.
Banks and fintechs are now using Arva AI to completely streamline their onboarding process, making it up to **100x quicker**. The key is eliminating the human review loop for simple, fixable errors.
### Realtime Analysis. Realtime Communication. Stronger Compliance.
Arva’s API-first platform provides instant, automated feedback to your customers as they onboard. This is powered by a suite of realtime verification tools:
- **Realtime Document Analysis:** The moment a customer uploads a document, Arva’s AI analyzes it for legibility, validity, and consistency. No more waiting two days to find out a document was expired.
- **Realtime Web Presence Analysis:** Our AI instantly verifies the business's digital footprint, corroborating data from registries, company websites, and other sources to ensure the business is legitimate and operational.
- **Realtime Communication:** If an error is detected, Arva’s platform (via our API) communicates with the customer _in that session_, guiding them to fix the error on the spot.
The result is a frictionless, one-shot onboarding experience for the customer. For the compliance team, it means the data they receive is correct, verified, and complete from the very beginning.
It’s time to transform business verification for the better.

## Boosting AML Compliance with AI in 2025

#### Introduction
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing how banks and fintech companies manage Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance. Banks use AI to spot suspicious activities quickly. It helps make sure they follow legal rules.
AI can handle lots of data fast. This means banks don't have to rely only on people to check for irregularities. AI systems are always learning. They get better at finding tricks used by fraudsters.
In 2025, AI is even more important for keeping financial systems clean. More banks are using AI for Know Your Business (KYB) checks. This means they can verify business identities faster and more accurately. Using AI makes the whole process smoother and safer for everyone.
#### How AI Enhances AML Compliance: An Overview
AI technology is a game-changer for AML compliance. Banks and fintech companies are using AI to improve their systems. AI can quickly analyze large amounts of data. This helps banks find suspicious patterns or transactions that might be fraud.
Traditional methods take a lot of time and effort. They depend on people to check information manually. AI speeds up this process. This means banks can act faster to stop illegal activities.
AI also reduces human mistakes. By automating many checks, the risk of missing important details decreases. This makes the financial system safer and more reliable.
#### Top Benefits of Using AI for Business Verification
1\. Speed: AI processes business information quickly. This means faster verification times. Banks get the information they need right away.
2\. Accuracy: AI systems are very accurate. They compare details across many databases. This helps ensure that the information is correct.
3\. Cost Savings: AI reduces the need for manual work. This lowers costs for banks. Less human checking is needed, saving both time and money.
4\. Scalability: AI can handle lots of checks at once. Whether it’s a small business or a large corporation, AI can manage the volume.
5\. Consistency: AI applies the same standards for every check. This ensures that all businesses are verified using the same criteria. No biases, just consistent results.
AI makes business verification easier and faster. It improves how banks and financial companies work, making the system safer for everyone.
#### Key Features of AI-Powered KYB and AML Checks
AI is packed with features that make KYB (Know Your Business) and AML checks more efficient. One key feature is data analysis. AI scans huge amounts of data from various sources. This makes it easier to spot fake information or unusual activity.
Another feature is real-time alerts. AI can send alerts right away if it finds something odd. This helps banks and fintech companies take quick actions to stop fraud.
AI also offers continuous monitoring. Traditional methods often use spot checks. But AI keeps an eye on transactions all the time. If anything unusual happens, it is flagged immediately. This makes the system more secure.
Automated reporting is another advantage. AI generates reports quickly. These reports help banks comply with legal requirements more easily. They save time and reduce errors, making audits smoother.
#### Future Trends in AI Compliance for 2025
Several trends are shaping the future of AI compliance. One major trend is the integration of AI with blockchain technology. Blockchain offers a secure way to store data. When combined with AI, it can enhance data security and integrity.
Another trend is the use of predictive analytics. AI can predict potential compliance issues before they become problems. This proactive approach helps banks stay ahead of fraudsters.
There is also a growing focus on AI transparency. Regulators want to understand how AI makes decisions. Banks will need to ensure that their AI systems are transparent and explainable. This builds trust and ensures compliance with regulations.
Voice and facial recognition technologies are becoming more popular. These technologies make identity verification faster and more secure. AI can analyze voice patterns or facial features for quick and accurate identification.
#### Conclusion
AI is changing the way banks and fintech companies handle AML and KYB checks. It offers speed, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness. AI makes it easier to spot fraud, verify businesses, and comply with regulations. As we move forward into 2025, new trends like AI with blockchain and predictive analytics will further enhance compliance efforts.
Arva AI is at the forefront of these changes. Our [AI-enabled solutions](https://www.arva.ai/features) can help you automate up to 80% of your manual compliance tasks. Stay ahead in the game by leveraging the power of AI for your AML and KYB checks. Ready to boost your compliance processes? Visit Arva AI today to learn more.

## Why is business verification so manual?
Articles

Share this post:
Verifying businesses is a foundational process for onboarding customers, managing risk, and meeting regulatory obligations in industries like finance, compliance, and insurance. Yet, despite the growing availability of digital tools, business verification often remains stubbornly manual. This friction creates bottlenecks in onboarding workflows, increases costs, and introduces risk when critical information is missed or misinterpreted.
So, why is business verification still so manual—and what can be done to change that?
###### **Business Data Is Complex and Fragmented**
Unlike individuals—who generally have standardized identifiers like government-issued IDs or social security numbers—businesses vary widely in how they are structured and represented in data. A company might operate under a trade name that differs from its legal name, exist as part of a broader group, or have subsidiaries and joint ventures in multiple countries.
To complicate matters, information about a company’s identity, ownership, and operations is spread across a fragmented ecosystem:
- Government registries and corporate databases
- News and media sources
- Regulatory filings
- Licensing bodies
- Sanctions and watchlists
- Manually scanned documents (e.g., certificates, shareholder lists)
This fragmented data landscape means that verifying a business often requires checking multiple sources, interpreting conflicting information, and reconciling discrepancies—all tasks that still rely heavily on human judgment.
#### Jurisdictional Variability and Lack of Standardization
Each jurisdiction has its own rules about what company data must be disclosed, how it is maintained, and how it can be accessed. In some regions, registries are modern, open, and digitized. In others, data is locked in PDFs or behind paywalls, is only available upon request, or is simply incomplete.
For example:
- In the UK, Companies House provides free and structured data on business entities.
- In parts of the Middle East or Africa, company records may be sparse, inaccessible, or require manual outreach to obtain.
- In the U.S., ownership transparency varies state-by-state, and beneficial ownership was not required until the Corporate Transparency Act took effect in 2024.
This inconsistency means automated tools often fail to deliver complete or trustworthy results across geographies, forcing compliance and risk teams to intervene manually.
#### Ownership and Control Structures Are Often Opaque
Understanding **who owns or controls a business** is one of the most critical—and most challenging—parts of verification. Many entities are part of nested ownership chains, trusts, or offshore structures that obscure the identity of true beneficial owners.
Regulators such as FATF and national authorities require firms to identify and verify beneficial owners as part of AML/CFT obligations. However, data on ownership is frequently:
- Unavailable or self-declared
- Buried in unstructured filings
- Spread across shell companies in secrecy jurisdictions
Parsing through layers of documents, PDFs, and registries to trace ultimate ownership is a task that still heavily relies on human analysts, especially when automated tools can’t reliably extract or match this information.
> [Arva directly searches company registry data](https://www.arva.ai/features) and can automatically investigate & map corporate ownership structures in over 140 jurisdictions, up to 15 layers deep.
#### Risk Assessment Requires Contextual Understanding
Verification isn’t just about confirming a business exists—it’s about **understanding its risk profile**. This involves:
- Screening for adverse media
- Identifying politically exposed persons (PEPs)
- Checking for sanctions or enforcement actions
- Assessing reputational or operational risk
These risk signals are often hidden in unstructured data—such as news articles, litigation databases, or social media—requiring careful interpretation to separate signal from noise. Many systems can surface raw data, but not all can interpret whether a news hit is relevant, material, or associated with the correct entity. As a result, compliance teams spend time manually triaging alerts, validating hits, and making judgment calls.
#### How [Arva.ai Makes Business Verification Smarter](https://www.arva.ai/blog/unlocking-efficiency-and-insight-with-arva-ai) and Less Manual
**Arva.ai** is designed to tackle these challenges head-on by combining deep data intelligence with powerful automation. It helps organizations streamline business review and risk analysis by providing:
✅ **Unified Entity Profiles**: Arva.ai brings together structured and unstructured data into a single, coherent view of a business—including registration details, ownership hierarchies, and associated entities.
✅ **Automated Risk Extraction**: Instead of dumping raw media hits or registry data, Arva.ai extracts and structures key risk insights—such as whether a business is linked to sanctions, fraud, or reputational issues—using AI models trained on real-world compliance use cases.
✅ **Global Coverage**: Arva taps into corporate data sources, news, and registries across jurisdictions, helping teams scale their processes without sacrificing depth or accuracy.
✅ **Customizable Workflows and Overrides**: Users can review, override, and annotate risk findings, enabling a mix of automation and expert oversight—critical for regulated workflows.
✅ **Seamless API Integration**: Whether you're onboarding one business or one thousand, Arva.ai plugs into existing systems to deliver instant verification and scoring at scale.
#### The Future Is (Less) Manual
Business verification doesn't have to be a slow, manual process. With the right technology, organizations can move from fragmented checks and analyst-heavy reviews to seamless, data-driven decisions. [Arva.ai is helping power that transition](https://www.arva.ai/features)—turning complex data into clear, actionable insights that teams can trust.

## Our Core Principles
#### Deliver Value Fast
Speed starts with clarity. We first understand what value actually means, for the customer, the business, or the system, and then take the shortest credible path to delivering it. We move quickly without cutting corners on quality, security, or trust.
#### Outcome Obsessed
We obsess over details and take full ownership of wider outcomes, not just tasks. We think like the user, execute with rigor, and validate that every detail works in real conditions. If something falls short, we fix it properly and prevent recurrence, always raising the bar.
#### Relentless Urgency
We move with urgency because time matters. We prioritise what truly moves the outcome, make decisions with imperfect information, and act decisively. Urgency means focus, momentum, and driving meaningful progress without unnecessary delay.
